I see the bread-winner still working hard under the fervent sun, soaking with sweat. I see mothers and wives devoting themselves fully on the domestic chores, waiting her husband and child back home. I see the children playing on the school ground, enjoying themselves totally in the care-free world with naive smile on their face. But I also see the concrete gigantic buildings collapsing in the twinkle of eyes, only hearing the slam bang and seeing the floating ashes on the sky. I see the men crying for their wives and children desperately towards the ruins. I also see a large crowds lying on the ground, which is floating with flood.

The above are the images I can imagine before and after the earthquake about Wenchuang earthquake in 2008.Actually,our China takes place more and more

natural disasters in recent years, such as mudslide, drought, earthquake, floods and so on, through which many people suffer a lot, both in material and in spirit aspects.

So we should think the urgent problem: why our China suffers more and more natural disasters in recent years? Excessive deforestation, grazing and exploiting resources inordinately may be the reasons, for many of us hold the conception that the natural resources is endless and human beings control the nature. And the facts evidence that they are woefully mistaken, for nature begins revenging on the enemies-our human beings through his own ways.

Therefore, we should seat down and think patiently and calmly how to deal with this urgent situation, otherwise, we would be responsible for the consequences one day for what we have done to the nature. (By Chen Huanya)

Protecting Nature(保护自然)

China has a very long and brilliant history, whose people are so friendly and hospitable. But I am wondering why some people pay such little attention to the environment and nature. In many places of the countryside, rivers have become stinking sewers and brooks have disappeared. Heaps of garbage obstructs the scarce flow of dirty water. The grounds are littered with plastic bottles and bags. People are cutting down trees even though it is illegal. In some towns, rubbish is hidden behind walls. Garbage cans are often of little use, making cleaners must rush all day long and also by night to clean the rubbish.

To make things worse, as a result of modernization, pollution is a serious problem. Nowadays we often breathe the dusty air and drink the dirty water. What's more, we always suffer from the noise and the heavy light pollution. I'm really tired of this life. I want to change it. If I have a chance, I will get up early to see the sunrise, in order to embrace our nature.

As far as I'm concerned, our nature is our mother. She offers us everything we want or need. If our nature disappears, human-beings will be in great danger. Therefore, we must love our nature unconditionally. Don't always ask too much from her but return her nothing. Moreover, as her sons and daughters, we should always appreciate for her bounty. (By Yin Kemin)

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity, seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and occasionally volcanic activity.

In its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event — whether natural or caused by humans — that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by other events such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear tests. An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The epicenter is the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter. (From Wikipedia )

Extratropical Cyclones(温带气旋)

Extratropical cyclones, sometimes called mid-latitude cyclones, are a group of cyclones defined as synoptic scale low pressure weather systems that occur in the middle latitudes of the Earth (outside the tropics) not having tropical characteristics, and are connected with fronts and horizontal gradients in temperature and dew
