On a rainy day a meteorologist (气象学家) I met was very 43 at my great anger caused by rain that made a little inconvenience for me.
He asked, “Have you ever seen typhoon? Do you know what would happen to the world if there were no typhoon?” I shook my head. I had no 44 of how overwhelming it was when it 45 everything away in its way.

Without typhoon the tropics would be even 50 while the frigid zones much colder. As a result the temperate zones would 51 from the world...”

What would the world become then?” The 59 will keep him calm and lead him closer to truth - he will be better 60 of the world he lives in.
