8．Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents'home in Missouri for Christmas．I stopped at a gas station about 50miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend．While I was standing in line at the cash register（收款台），I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas．
I took off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car．I stopped and wondered what I should do．A car pulled up behind me．It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station．They said they would take me to my friend's．We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card．
I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me．Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them．Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful．
Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning．In late afternoon，I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day，and the battery（电池） was dead．Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door．I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom．"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？"I asked and explained my trouble．They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it．They would accept no payment，so when I got home，I wrote them a note to say thanks．I received a letter back from one of the salesmen．No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said．
"Thank you"-two powerful words．They're easy to say and mean so much．

14．Keeping an Eye on the Weather
Weather forecasters don't just look out of the window to prepare the report you see on TV or hear on the radio．They use a high-tech weather information network located all over-and above
-the globe．Satellites orbit Earth all the time．Planes and balloons go up daily to collect data．Weather stations in almost every country on the earth contribute data．

As you've noticed，forecasters sometimes make mistakes．A forecast is only a prediction．It is based on what's happening now．However，nature doesn't always follow a predictable pattern，so a forecast is only an educated guess，not a certainty．
Weather satellites remain in fixed positions 22，000miles above the equator （赤道）．Together，their cameras can photograph the entire earth，except the poles．Other satellites follow north-south and south-north routes from pole to pole．
The long tails of weather balloons are equipped with radiosondes，which measure temperature，air pressure，and humidity in the atmosphere．Some balloons can reach as high as 90，000feet to collect data．

Weather monitoring equipment is attached to airplanes．These planes can fly directly into storms to take measurements．
About 10，000weather stations around the world send reports every three hours to 13weather centers operated by the World Meteorological Organization （世界气象组织）．

Probably the most familiar piece of weather equipment is the weather vane．It's certainly one of the oldest．Weather vanes have been around since the ninth century．They indicate the direction the wind is blowing．
Radar equipment sends signals into clouds．These signals are then changed into images on radar screens，allowing meteorologists to track storms．
Other stations float at sea and send data to satellites．
