14、, some evaporates, and the remainder, which reaches stream channels, is called runoff(径流). Floods occur when soil and vegetation cannot absorb all the water; water then runs off the land in quantities that cannot be carried in stream channels or retained in natural ponds and constructed reservoirs.
15、About 32 percent of all precipitation (雨雪的降落) is runoff, and this amount may be increased by melting snow masses. Periodic floods occur naturally on many rivers, forming an area known as the floodplain (涝原). These fiver floods often result from heavy rain, sometimes combined with melting snow, which
16、 causes the rivers to overflow their banks; a flood that rises and falls rapidly with little or no advance warning is called a flash flood (暴洪). Flash floods usually result from intense rainfall over a relatively small area. Coastal areas are occasionally flooded by unusually high tides induced by s
17、evere winds over ocean surfaces, or by tidal waves (海啸) caused by undersea earthquakes.Floods not only damage property and endanger the lives of humans and animals, but exert other effects as well. Rapid runoff causes soil erosion as well as sediment (沉淀物) deposition problems downstream(下游). Spawnin
18、g(产卵) grounds for fish and other wildlife habitat are often destroyed. High-velocity currents increase flood damage; prolonged high floods delay traffic and interfere with drainage and economic use of lands. Bridge abutments (桥台) , bank lines, sewer outfalls, and other structures within floodways ar
19、e damaged, and navigation and hydroelectric power are often impaired(侵害). Financial losses due to floods all over the world are commonly billions of dollars each year. The basic methods of flood control have been practiced since ancient times. These methods include reforestation (再造林) and the constr

26、lf of every morning: nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I m going to learn, I have to do it by listening.SapirThe best conversationalists are capable of talking about issues and experiences beyond their own daily lives. You can expand your world through travel, but you can also do
27、it without leaving your own back yard. The point is: people with backgrounds different from your own can help you and your thinking.TateAnybody I ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes knows at least two things about me: I m from Brooklyn, New York, and I m Chinese. That s because I m deeply
28、proud of both. You should be as open and honest with your conversational partners as you d want them to be with you, willing to reveal what your background is and what your likes and dislikes are.AzaOne of my cardinal rules of conversation is never to stay too serious too long. Similarly, a key qual
29、ity I look for in a potential guest is a sense of humor, preferably self-deprecating.
