Gun (鲧) was the leader of a tribe (部落). He loved his people and always tried his b 1 to protect them. Once, a big flood (洪水) came and destroyed everything. Since he was the leader, Gun went to fight the flood.
He tried to stop the water by b 2 a dam (大坝). But there weren’t enough stones and soil to use. After knowing that Tiandi had some magic soil c 3 xirang (息壤), which could grow by i 4 and become very hard in the water, Gun decided to steal it.
With the h 5 of a bird and a turtle, he went to the place where Tiandi lived and stole some xirang. Gun then built a big dam and successfully stopped the flood.
However, Tiandi found out and he was very a 6 . He sent Zhurong to c 7 Gun. The two had a big fight and Zhurong killed Gun. Zhurong tied the body of Gun to a stone on a mountain.
Three years later, someone told Tiandi that Gun’s spirit was still alive in the body. Zhurong came to the mountain again and cut Gun’s body open. Gun w 8 up and a small dragon came out. The dragon was Gun’s child. He had turned his spirit into this dragon inside his body.

A very strong earthquake hit Morocco at midnight on Sept 8, 2023. At that time, Said was away from his family home in the small town of Tamaloukte, near the epicenter (震中) of the earthquake. He hurried back home through the b 1 buildings that covered the roads.
Said found that his house was completely destroyed (毁坏) when he a 2 home. Mohamed, Said’s father, was trying his best to save his three grandchildren who were still inside. U 3 , two of Said’s three children—his 11-year-old daughter, Asma, and 5-year-old son, Ibrahim—didn’t survive (存活).
“I was s 4 at home when the earthquake hit. Later a neighbour told me that my second house where the grandchildren were had fallen down, so I hurried to save them but found them under the ruins (废墟). The house c 5 down while they were inside,” Mohamed said.
Asma and Ibrahim were among the 47 people who lost their l 6 in the earthquake.
Some volunteers p 7 Said’s family with a tent, warm clothes, and food to help them live through the first part of the disaster. The Moroccan Red Crescent, w 8 the help of the Qatar Red Crescent, also helped Said’s family as they dealt with their big loss (损失).
In the face of disasters, it’s i 9 to bring back what people have lost, but offering a hand in time can help families like Said’s spend their hard time. This help is just the first step in what will likely be a long and hard j 10 for a family to get better after an earthquake.
Disasters are merciless (无情的), but there is love in the world.

On January 7, 2025, a strong 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Dingri County in Tibet. The quake happened at 9:05 a.m. near Cuoguo Township, shaking an area w 1 over 6,900 inhabitants. Sadly, 126 people lost their lives, and 188 were i 2 , including 28 seriously hurt people who needed hospital care.

R 4 teams faced many difficulties: freezing temperatures (-18°C), high altitude (4,500 meters), and over 1,000 aftershocks. Oxygen shortages and broken equipment slowed rescue work, while landslides added dangers.
Over 600 rescuers, i 5 firefighters and volunteers, worked day and night. They handed out tents, food, and medicine. Helicopters flew injured people to hospitals, but shelters (避难处) were overcrowded, with 10 families sometimes sharing one tent. Locals showed great courage, villagers saving their animals and firefighters digging through ruins with bare hands. People a 6 China sent warm clothes and supplies to help.
Experts explained that Tibet sits on a major e 7 zone where tectonic plate (地壳构造板块) meet. Many old buildings couldn’t withstand the shaking, l 8 to high casualties (伤亡人数). Leaders stressed the need for stronger houses and better disaster plans in risky a 9 .
This tragedy (悲剧) r 10 us of nature’s power and the importance of preparation. While rebuilding continues, teaching communities about earthquake safety and improving infrastructure (基础设施) will help protect lives in the future.

Humans can’t stop natural disasters because we can’t stop the power of n 1 .
For example, a flood comes when there is too much water on land. Sometimes, it can come after a b 2 rainstorm at sea. Then too much seawater comes onto the land. A fast m 3 flood can hurt us. It can also hurt our homes. We can’t stop the water from coming, but we can t 4 to stop the water by making a wall with sandbags. Sometimes, the sandbags help stop the water. Sometimes they don’t.
An earthquake h 5 where land moves. The land goes up and down. The land s 6 . We may be hurt by things that fall down in an earthquake. Falling things can s 7 fires. We can’t stop an earthquake from coming. We can try to make our homes strong in order to p 8 them from falling down in an earthquake.
A tornado (龙卷风) is fast a 9 that goes around and around over the land. A tornado can pick up everything. It can break anything. A typhoon is a big storm with fast-moving wind and rain. It b 10 at sea and can come onto land. Its fast wind can hurt us and our homes.
We can’t stop the power of nature, but we can go to safe places.

Earthquakes are one of the most t 1 natural disasters. We cannot prevent them, and we don’t know when they will h 2 . This makes earthquakes very d 3 . Recently, there have been earthquakes in China, Japan, India, and El Salvador.
What c 4 earthquakes? Well, all the land and the ocean are sitting on l 5 pieces of plates (板块). The plates are all a 6 the earth. They fit t 7 like a big puzzle (拼图). Earthquakes may happen when two plates m 8 against each other. Some parts of the earth s 9 , like ocean waves (波浪).
We do not know when earthquakes will take place, but we can do some things to keep ourselves s 10 . We can teach people what to do if there is an earthquake. This way, we can make these natural disasters just a little less terrible.

Last year, my class went on a skiing trip to the mountain. We had already been to the wonderful place the year before, so it was the s 1 time for us to be there. And it became a great experience. We believed that this time would be more fantastic than b 2 .
When we a 3 there the day before, it snowed h 4 . And there were terrible storms. Storms are one of the worst disasters and they affect humans’ a 5 heavily. At breakfast the next day, we were told not to go skiing because of the bad weather, but we d 6 to go anyway. When we got to the top of the mountain, it started snowing again. The hotel gave u 7 some sandwiches, so we ate them while waiting for the weather to improve. It didn’t get fine and soon we were really scared. L 8 , I put my cell phone in my bag before l 9 the hotel. I called the emergency services. And they sent a helicopter (直升机) to s 10 us. What a disaster! Next year I will go to a warm island.
