I was always complaining about wind or rain.    41    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    42    it strongly.

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.

 “Well, let me tell you,” the meteorologist said.  “Without it the    46    of fresh water will be more serious, for it is a great    47    of water supply on earth. Without it, there would be a greater imbalance in the distribution of    48   . The equatorial area that receives the most sunshine on earth    49    entirely on typhoon to disperse (驱散) heat. 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...”

Ignorance made me    52   . 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    53    than wind or rain---was a    54    to the existence of mankind.

   55    no road on earth goes all the way on level ground, there’s no person in the world who can do whatever he pleases.    56    as it is for people to guard against typhoon, it is advisable for a man to stop    57    for a moment before he complains.  “   58    typhoon disappeared all together? 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.
