20.When people want to know about the weather,they usually go to their radios,TVs,newspapers,or to the Internet.However,you can also find many weather signs among wildlife,because of their highly developed senses.Drops in air pressure produce an effect on small animals in many ways.Mice and deer are good weather indicators.People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that,before a storm,field mice come out of their holes and run around.Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways.For example,some birds become irritable(暴躁) and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread.Other birds chirp and sing just before a storm.It seems they know they won't get another chance for an hour or two.Birds also look for safe places before a storm.You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building.Pre-storm low pressure make the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.
It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime,rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn.Watch for other weather signs if you see this.If they fly in the wrong direction,they may be flying ahead of a storm.
By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature,we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.

| ※When parents get angry,it isn't the time to get angry back.A lot of times they're not upset with you,but with their boss,the neighbor,or the price of vegetables.You just happen to be there at the wrong time.Look hurt?Get out of the way when they're in a bad mood.They need some time and space.Go outside,to a friend's house,or to your room.At last they will become calm and miss you. |
| ※If you have trouble talking to your parents,or if they get angry every time you try to discuss something,write a note.Put it on their bedside table.Parents are easily moved by notes like this and will probably keep them forever. |
| ※Do not create situations where there is a winner and a loser.You're the child and will probably lose most of the time.How many times have you grounded your mother or taken away the phone privileges(特权) from your dad?Try to compromise with each other and work out a situation where both of you win. |
| ※Ask your parents once a day,"Is there anything I can do for you?"Most of the time they will probably say no,or give you something that will take a few minutes to complete.Your parents will love this and see you as a very cooperative(可合作的) person.When this happens,they will probably be more cooperative with you.You could also surprise them by doing something they don't make you do.They'll tell everyone you are the best possible son or daughter and,what's more,they will believe it. ※Click for more information at the red icon on the left. |
