No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read the signs correctly 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. People who do this are not making the weather. They are merely using their knowledge of the weather today, to tell us what the weather may be like tomorrow.
People for many centuries and in all countries have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasts.
Something distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water vapour in the air, and therefore rain will probably come. When distant sounds are very clearly heard, then wet and stormy weather is on the way. Kings round the sun are a sign of coming rain.
Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather. Their joints aches. Some birds fly high if fine weather is on the way. This is probably because the insects, which they are hunting, then fly low.
If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a mist appears in the early morning, just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. If the sunset in mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine.
Most of the above sayings have been made up by people who have used their eyes and their brains to forecast the weather. Some of the popular beliefs about the weather, however, are untrue. For example, many people say they can forecast the weather by looking at the noon． the state of the noon has nothing to do with the weather may happen to change with changes in the moon,but that is only chance.
Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he doesn't always tell us what we want, and once in a while he makes a mistake. Still, he probably comes closer to being correct than anyone else.
Some men spend their whole lives trying to forecast the weather. Such people collect exact information about the weather from all parts of the world．Each place sends its information at certain times each day to a central office where the weather information from all these places can be examined．The information received is put on to a map of the world, called a weather chart.
As scientists discover more and more about the weather in every part of the world, and satellites and computers are used to gather and analyse weather data, weather forecasting will become more and more certain. And we are quite certain sooner or later we will be able to change the weather!
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly ever agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It' s going to have fine weather tomorrow.” Another man will say, “Yes, it's cloudy in the east. We're going to have rain weather tomorrow. ”
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it' s going to rain; he won' t believe anything else. When friends have a picnic, they are so sure the weather is going to clear up quickly that they sit eating their lunch while it rains.
(1)People who tell us what weather will be like on the following day or two can ________.
[ ]
A．make the weather we like
B．hardly control the weather
C．know when to plant
D．do something about the weather
(2)When distant sounds are very dearly heard we will ________.

查看习题详情和答案>>Walking across the campus of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon
Univers ity one delightful spring day, I came upon a table filled
with young people chatting and enjoying the fine weather．Several
had identical blue T-Shirts with 'Trilogy @CMU" written across them —Trilogy being an Austin,
Texas-based software company with a reputation for recruiting （招聘） our top students．I walked over to the table．"Are you guys here to recruit?" I asked．"No, absolutely not," they replied firmly．"We're not recruiters．We're just hanging out, playing a little Frisbee （飞盘） with our friends．" How interesting, I thought．They've come to campus on a workday, all the way from Austin, just to hang out with some new friends．
As I later learned, they were gifted students who had inked the highest-paying deal in the history of their department．
I asked one young man why he was going to a smaller city in Texas．"The company is excellent", he told me．"There are also terrific people and the work is challenging"．Though he had several good job offers from Pittsburgh's high-tech firms and knew the city well, he said he felt the city lacked the lifestyle options, cultural diversity, and tolerant attitude that would make it attractive to him．As he summed it up: "How would I fit in here?"
What a change from my own college days, just a little more than 20 years ago, when students would put on their dressiest clothes and carefully hide any counterculture tendencies to prove that they could fit in with the company．Today, apparently, it's the company trying to fit in with the students．
These young men and their lifestyle represent a lively new force in the economy and life of America．They are members of what I call the creative class: a fast-growing, highly educated, and well-paid part of the workforce on whose efforts corporate profits and economic growth increasingly depend．They do not consciously think of themselves as a class．Yet they share a common belief that values creativity, individuality, difference, and advantage．
59．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．The rise of the creative class B．New ideas about recruitment
C．Changed working cultures D．A tale of two cities
60．Why were the young people on the university campus?
A．To get recruited in Pittsburgh．
B．To celebrate their successful recruitment．
C．To relax themselves away from work．
D．To meet their old schoolmates．
61．The underlined word "inked" in paragraph 2 probably means "____"．
A．fulfilled B．obtained C．settled D．signed
62．Which of the following best describes the author's attitude towards the young people?
A．Criticizing B．Approving
C．Disappointing D．Disgusting
63．From the passage we can infer that ____．
A．the young people prefer to work in a small quiet city
B．the high pay is the main attraction to the young people
C．Pittsburgh has many advantages over Austin
D．Pittsburgh doesn't have enough attractions to the young people

He thanked me not only for __47 with him in the mornings, but for speaking directly to him and others on the elevator, and for telling him a quick joke in the crowded cafeteria. It seemed that __48 had ever been his friend before—or if so they were __49 to him in public.
He said he didn’t want to __50 much of my time, as he knew I was busy and he needed to __51 his personal things. He had tears in his eyes as he shook my hand and left.
I’ve never seen him since, but I imagine he’s doing well. Meeting him __52 my life. Now when I’m in a hurry, or have a bad day, I try extra hard to speak __53 to those around me.
