Question

I was always complaining about wind or rain.  26  it was nothing unusual for the arrival of wind or rain, it caused inconvenience for me to go out, and sometimes it even created an awful atmosphere, so I  27  it strongly.

On a rainy day a meteorologist（气象学家）I met was very  28  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  29  of how overwhelming it was when it  30  everything away in its way.

“Well, let me tell you,” the meteorologist said. “Without it the  31  of fresh water will be more serious, for it is a great  32  of water supply on earth, Without it, there would be a greater imbalance in the distribution of  33 . The equatorial area that receives the most sunshine on earth  34  entirely on typhoon to disperse（驱散）heat. Without typhoon the tropics would be even  35  while the frigid zones much colder. As a result the temperate zones would  36  from the world...”

Ignorance made me  37 . I disliked wind only because it ruffled（吹乱）my hair. I hated rain merely because I had to carry an umbrella. But I had no idea at all that typhoon---something much more violent, something a thousand times more  38  than wind or rain---was a  39  to the existence of mankind.

40  no road on earth goes all the way on level ground, there’s no person in the world who can do whatever he pleases.  41  as it is for people to guard against typhoon, it is advisable for a man to stop  42  for a moment before he complains. “  43  typhoon disappeared all together? What would the world become then?” The  44  will keep him calm and lead him closer to truth---he will be better  45  of the world he lives in.
