angry with them. They also believe in a kind goodness called Mazu, who they think can protect them on
the sea, especially when a typhoon comes.
Typhoon have been given different names for several hundred years. They are now also named after
girl's names, boy's names and names of flowers and so on. You may think it is funny to connect a beautiful
flower with such a terrible thing, since there is nothing pretty about the typhoon itself.
Typhoon Rananim attacked China's southeast coastal regions (沿海地区) since 12 August, 2004 and
killed over 100 people. Sarcastically (讽刺的是), the name Rananim means "hello" in the local language spoken
in Micronesia (密克罗尼西亚). In fact, typhoon are quite destructive (破坏性的). It is quite usual that when
a typhoon comes, hundreds of people may die and even more get hurt. During that time, the storm's strong
wind and heavy rain may destroy (毁坏) farmland and killed livestock (牲畜). What is worse, the area attacked
by the typhoon may lose its power supply, and millions of people may live without water or telephone service
for some time.

High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.
But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven’t been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. “Why are we sick?” “What can we do?” ask all of them. No one has any answers.
Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. “Can you help us?” they ask. “Yes,” one hiker says. “I think it’s because of acid rain.”
“Acid rain comes from chemicals(化学物质) in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks.”
“So, although I don’t want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!” says the wind. “And I carry it to the land!” cries the rain.
“If you can help us think of some solutions(解决方法), we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment,” one hiker says.
With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends.
Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better.
The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. “We’re glad things have started to change,” one hiker says. “And we’re glad you helped us make a difference,” says the other.
