Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. It is true. People usually begin their talks with “Isn’t it
a nice day?”
“Do you think it will rain?”
“What a fine day!” etc. (等等)
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly 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, “No, it’s going to be fine 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 ( 相信) anything else. When friends have a travel,（旅游） they are sure the weather is going to clear up （晴朗）
very quickly.
Almost（几乎） 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. （犯错误） Still, he probably（可能）comes closer to being correct （正确）than anyone else.
1. “Nobody does something about the weather” means________
A. Nobody can make weather
B. nobody can change ( 改变 )weather
C. Nobody can talk about weather D. nobody likes weather
2. ______ is a common way to start a talk.

No one can change the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell how the weather will be. This way of
telling of what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all
countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sigh of coming rain.
Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints ache. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they
fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting that they
fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in
the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continues. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river,
then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be warm. If a rainbow appears in the
morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above saying have been made by the people who have used their eyes and
brains to make weather forecasting.

A. is a sign of coming rain
