But if we read correctlythe signs around us, wc 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. For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun arc a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints hurt. 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(昆虫)which they arc 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(彩虹)come in the evening・ If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm・ If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting・( )51 .People's joints ache _____ .A. is a sign of coming rain B・ without any reasonC・ because they arc ill D. because of the insects( )52. Which is true about weather forecasting?A.Weather forecasting is a report about the today's weather .B.Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day ortwo.C.Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.D.People can change the weather forecasting.）53. The birds fly high and the stars twinkle clearly is a sign that the weather will ______ .A・ be warm B. be rainy C・ become clear and fine D. be cold）54. A rainbow is a _____ of the fine weather.A. signB. way C・ method D・ road55. We must _____ to make weather forecasting・A. use our eyes and brains B・ study the weather hardD. All of the aboveC. read correctly the signsAs a devoted （忠实A勺）son, Freud often visited his old mother. His mother usually spent her summers in a small mountain town in Austria （奥地利）.The King Josef usually spent his summers there, too.

Which hotel faces Orchard Hotel?A. First Hotel.B. Osaka Hotel.C. Fairview Hotel.D. No Hotel.(D)When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor Fd ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person.When Dr. Gibbs wasrft saving lives, he was planting trees・He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest・The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(浅白勺)roots, and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots(木艮)in search of(搜寻)water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important.So he never watered his trees・ He'd planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, hcM beat it with a rollcd-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home・ Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They're very big and strong now.I plant ed some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈祷)that their lives will be easy・ But lately Fve been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children arc going to face difficulties. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need todo is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won't be beaten down.( )62 Wc know from the reading the doctor _________ ・A. didn't know how to plant trees at allB. wasn't good at his own medical jobC・ had his own ways of planting trees D. had nothing to do but plant trees（）63・ When Dr. Gibbs said "... pick out the weaker trees early on'\ he meant that ___ •A.some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginningB.he would choose the weak trees to water earlierC・ the weak trees would be sent to his patients laterD. he would not plant weak trees so early any more（）64.
