In the 1500s, South American fishermen said that the sea became warmer every few years. They gave this special event a Spanish name ’El Nino’, meaning ’the baby’. It is called ’the baby’ because it arrives around Christmas.
El Nino is a huge area of warm water in the middle of cold water in the Pacific Ocean. It happens every two to seven years. It moves around the ocean and becomes bigger and smaller at different times. This warm water affects the weather. It is always raining over El Nino. El Nino contains a lot of energy. Scientists think this energy is formed when wind comes from the northern half of the world. The winds blow across warm sea water in the south. When the strong wind hits the warm water, violent weather happens. Scientists think that El Nino existed for many thousands of years.
El Nino affects every person in the world because it affects the entire world’s weather. It can bring the rain that farmers need. It can bring storms that destroy homes. It can mean that fishermen cannot catch fish, and it can bring floods. There is nothing we can do about El Nino. It is an event of nature. We can help the world’s weather by trying to stop the greenhouse effect and air pollution. The most important job for scientists is to learn how to predict when El Nino is going to bring dangerous weather. Then, people can try to prepare for storms, floods and droughts. New technology like satellite pictures and temperature measuring equipment can help. Still, it is very hard to say when or where El Nino will cause damage.

Scientists think that a weather pattern(形式)called El Nino(厄尔尼诺现象)caused the
drought(干旱)in Australia.El Nino causes different weather in different parts of the world.It
causes a lot of rain and floods in some places.It causes droughts in other places.Droughts can badly affect people and the land.El Nino lasts about a year.
In normal weather conditions, warm winds from South America blow from east to west across
the Pacific Ocean.The winds early storms to Australia.These storms bring rain to Australia.
During an El Nino weather pattern.the winds change direction.They blow from west to east
across the Pacific Ocean.The storms no longer move across Australia.So Australia gets very little rain during El Nino.
The drought began in January,1982.E1 Nino often occurs at this time of year.But that year,
E1Nino was stronger than usual.There Was very little rainfall(降雨量)in eastern Australia.There was also very little water in the rivers.The drought was at its worst in February,1983.At that time,the weather was very hot.The forests and fields were very dry.Cotton growers wouldn’t plant their cotton.Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat.So many of them died.Because the forests were dry.forest fires started quickly.Some of the fires burned for a month.Many forests were destroyed.Over 2,000 people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died.
The Australian drought of 1982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals.The drought
cost the country over$3,000,000,000.It was a reminder(提示)to Australians of how the weather
could change their lives.
