Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp has passed. This special sign-language is frequently  1 by tramps to inform their 2 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 3 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

   Quite 4 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be  5 , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into  6 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a  7 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 8 a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began  9 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been  10 , for the tramp’s face lit up with 11 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him  12 his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The 13 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt 14 for him as he walked  15 out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and  16 his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake.  17 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the 18 sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his 19 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 20 , whistling as he went along.

As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.

Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads. It had a “Slow” sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.

At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at the crossing.” “But the sign there doesn’t say “Stop”,” answered Mr. Williams. “It just says “Slow”, and I did go slow.” The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’ll be blowed. I am in the wrong street!”

Which of the following statements is correct? ?

A. Stop signs can be found at every crossroads.

B. At crossroads with a “Slow” sign, drivers never have to stop.

C. At crossroads with a “Slow” sign, drivers have to stop and then go slow.

D. At some crossroads, drivers needn’t stop or go slow.

What do you think the policeman would do in the end?

A. Fine Mr. Williams.                    B. Take him to the police station.

C. Apologize to Mr. Williams.           D. Give Mr. Williams his notebook and pencil.

Which might be the best title for this passage?

A. Signs at the crossroads                 B. A careful driver

C. A policeman and a driver               D. Policeman in the wrong street[来源:Z&xx&k.Com

You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate(交际)with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears(眼泪)in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake(摇)your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod(点头)and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines(杂志), TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.

For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if the weather is fine, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.

Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.

A.Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.
