You really have to get very old before you realize you’re old.I’m in my middle fifties and I don’t feel old yet.However, sometimes I look back at my childhood and 1 things to the way of life of 2 kids.Some things have certainly changed.

Now, 6 have larger pictures in full color.The pictures are clearer and the sound is much more realistic.The new high definition sets are made to rival 7 screens.
The variety and quantity of programming has 8 greatly.There are hundreds of channels and more shows than one person could ever watch.There are many fine entertainment and educational 9 .There’s also a lot of garbage, stuff that most parents don’t want their kids exposed to.Overall, we have more choices, and that is good.

As an American writer, Mark Twain, once said, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody 1 anything about it.” It is true that everybody talks about the weather.Many people begin their talks 2 saying: “ Isn’t it a nice 3 ?” “Do you think it will rain?” “ I think it’s going to snow.”
Many people think they can tell 4 the weather is going to be like.But they 5 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 6 say, “ Yes, it’s cloudy in the east.We are 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 7 else.When friends have a picnic, they are so 8 the weather is going to be fine very 9 that they sit eating their lunch while it is raining.
