Stepping into a pool of water is common enough ,but who could ever imagine stopping into a pool of fish ?In February of 1974, Bill Tapp ,an Australian farmer ,saw a rain of fish that covered his farm . How surprised he must have been when he heard many fish hitting against his roof!

What caused this strange occurrence ?This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish .The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm.

When it is spring in the northern part of the world ,it is fall in Australia, Throughout the autumn season ,terrible storms arise and rains flood the land .The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum（真空） cleaners, collecting seaweed ,pieces of wood , and even schools of fish .

In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no   36   for stillness.
