If your football 7 Miss Hilton’s garden, you never 8 .It wasn’t the mango season 9 Miss Hilton died.But we got back about ten 10 twelve of our footballs.

In England, many people begin with talks by saying:“Isn’t it a nice day?”“Do you think it will rain?”“I think it’s going to snow.”
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 rain tomorrow.”Another man will say:“Yes, it is cloudy in the east.We’re going to have fine 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 and he won’t believe(相信)anything else.When friends have a picnic, they are so sure the weather is going to be fine very quickly that they sit eating their lunch while it is raining.
Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says.But he doesn’t always tell us what we want and sometimes he makes a mistake.Still, he is right most of the time.

Reading newspapers has become an important part of everyday life.Some people read newspapers as the first thing to do in the morning; others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that they can learn what is happening in the world.
Sometimes, we do not have enough time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page.At other times, we may be in such a hurry that we only have a few minutes to look at the names of the passages.
Newspapers can be found everywhere in the world.We can get many different kinds of newspapers in big cities, but in some mountain villages we can see few newspapers.
Some newspapers are published(出版)once a week, but most of the papers are published once a day with many pages, some even published twice a day!You know different people enjoy reading different newspapers.Some like world news, and others prefer short stories.They just choose what they are interested in.
