Answer 1

In the summer of 1998, big floods happened in both the south and north of China. They were the most serious ones in this century. They caused great losses. Fields were damaged; houses were washed away and many people became homeless.

　 There are three causes for the floods. First it had kept raining for months. Second many forests had been cut down and the soil was washed away. Finally, some lakes had been turned into fields, which seriously blocked the waterways

Now, some measures have been taken to prevent floods from happening again. The trees along the river have been protected; old dams have been rebuilt and some fields have been turned into lakes again.
