If you have to choose a “Person of the Year” for 2005 , who will you pick ？For many of us ,the choice might not be a person at all . It would be Mother Nature（大自然母亲）.

While the world was still getting over the Indian tsunami（海啸）of December 2004 . Mother Nature went on showing her power throughout 2005 .

From July to October, about seven typhoons（台风）hit China’s coastal（沿海的）area.In August , the whole New Orleans city in the US was hit with its worst 一ever natural disaster , Hurricane Katrina . In early October , an earthquake in Pakistan killed more than 70,000 people .

Mother Nature was trying to give us a message:humans need to take responsibility（duty ) for the earth . She was just fighting back .

It is we humans who burn coal and oi1 to make electricity and power cars . This makes huge amount of greenhouse gases , which cause global warming .

It is we humans who cut forests and fill lakes to make space for buildings.This leaves fewer trees and lakes to keep floods（洪水）from rushing to towns and cities .

We need to work hard to ease（缓解）Mother Nature’s anger , or we’11 see more years of disasters.For example , we can start to use less electricity . Turn off lights , TVs and computers when we’re not using them . We can plant trees . One new tree a year from each of us can make a forest. Forests not only hold floods , they also take in greenhouse gases.
