Droughts (干旱)are common in Kenya . Before ,they came every 10 years ,but now they seem to be hitting us more often and for a longer time .
We gave the droughts names :“longoza”was the drought when many animals died ; there was the drought of the “planes” because food was dropped from the air by planes; and one particularly bad drought was called “ man who dies with his money in his fist (拳头)”，because ,even if there was money , there was simply no food to buy .
I was born in 1951 in Machakos. From what my mother tells me , when I was 7, there was a serious drought . I clearly remember the terrible weather and the hunger. I can’t tell you how many times I went to bed without eating . “ I slept like that ,” is how we described it . I can’t count the number of days when “ I slept like that,” or describe the feeling of going to sleep hungry ,knowing I’d wake up and there would still be no food for breakfast.
My father would leave early in the morning carrying a little basket to ask for food on credit (赊欠). Each night he would return home around 10:00p.m. My mother would try to encourage me by telling me to keep the water in our pot boiling so that when my father arrived we could quickly cook any food he brought in the already prepared water . I would keep the fire burning and the water boiling , along with the hopes that we would eat that night. But my father would arrive frustrated and empty -handed. And I would sleep like that.

英语改错（9处）Forests help to stop droughts and floors,because Chi 英语改错（9处） Forests help to stop droughts and floors,because China has built a new Great Wall through the northern part of the country.The Great Wall is 7000 kilometre long,between 400 and 1700 kilometers wide.It will stop the wind of blowing the earth away.It will stop the sand moving towards the poor farmland in the south. If more Great Green Wall are built,and more good lands will be protected and then more crops will be produced to feed more people.So it's our duty to stop cutting down some trees. 龙泉水1年前3: 语淡情浓共回答了12个问题 | 采纳率91.7%

Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and Maybe you know floods, droughts, earthquakes, sandstorms and so on. But have ever heard of typhoons（台风）? Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. Most happen in July, August and September. How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins. A typhoon has two parts, One is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest with and hardest rains are. Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon Yunna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged. What to do when a typhoon hits: Stay inside, Close all the windows and stay away from them. Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes! Listen to the radio or TV for important information. If you’re told to go to a safer place, do so right away. 小题1: Typhoons often happen A．in the hot season B．in the cold season C．only in China D．under the sea 小题2: Which picture can tell the meaning of the underlined sentences“…，it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in.”? 小题3: When a typhoon comes, we cannot A．close all the windows B．listen to typhoon news C．stay outside with our bikes D．stay inside the strong house 小题4: This passage is mainly about A．the knowledge of typhoon B．the eye of a typhoon C．the most dangerous typhoon Yunna D．the names of typhoon 小题5: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves. B．In 2006, Typhoon Peal killed 164 people in Zhejiang. C．The strongest winds and harder rains are in the eye of typhoon. D．A typhoon will happen when the wind goes faster than 30 meters a second. hotsoft1年前1: rachel_fan 共回答了17个问题 | 采纳率100%
