9、obody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we 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(预报). For many centuries and in all countries, p

10、eople have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the

11、 way. 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 continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If th

12、e sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably approach.

His poor jacket, worn-out trousers made him different from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd

16、. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds and thin lips that held a steady smile.He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair.”Without a word, he smiled and nodded a than

17、k you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table. In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you, Miss.” “Youre welcome, Si

18、r.” She replied. “My name is Mary. Ill be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me.”After he had finished a nice meal, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and walking with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir

19、!” He nodded a thank you and said with a smile, “You are very kind!”When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin, under which was a $ 100 bill. The note read, “Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourse

20、lf, too. It shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness.

24、 action is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers. They say development, climate change and bushfires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply. The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than ha

25、lf in the past six years. The number of koalas was once estimated to be more than 100,000, but now is as few as 43,000. The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a t

26、eam of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching.The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional value of their main food, eucalyptus (桉树) leaves, leading to poor nutrit

27、ion for them. Koalas, which live in the forests in Australias east and south, are very picky about what types of the leaves they eat. Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. Its really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you dont have any koalas.”

28、 She is hoping the new figures will persuade the governments Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koalas status as one of the countrys favourite animals would not be a factor. “

29、Theres a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We dont consider that,” Mr Beeton said.29.
