When we want to find out what the weather will be like tomorrow, we usually turn on the radio or TV. But in the time before radio and TV, people needed to forecast (预测) the weather. How did they do it? Let’s learn about two weather rhymes (押韵的诗) together.
Red sky at night, Sailor’s delight!
Red sky in the morning, Sailors take warning!
This weather rhyme was written a long time ago, but it still works today. As the sun is setting, a red sky at night usually means there are no clouds coming in from the west, a sign of good weather for tomorrow. But a red sky in the morning always means drier air is moving away to the east and moister air is moving in from the west. The moist air could bring clouds, rain and stormy weather.
When leaves show their undersides (底部), Be very certain, rain betides.
The rhyme shows us how trees forecast the weather. Tree leaves turn upside down just before it rains. In the period before a storm, strong winds can lift the leaves and show their undersides.
Animals, insects and plants are natural forecasters. When a summer storm is coming, you may notice that dogs, cows, horses, and geese grow restless (不安的) and frogs come out of their hiding places. These animals don’t have some sixth sense. Scientists think the animals can hear the low frequency (频率) sound waves made by thunderstorms many miles away.
Get outside and observe nature carefully, and soon you’ll be your own weather forecaster.
1.The underlined word “moist” can be replaced by the word “________”.
A.wet B.Cold C.warm D.clean
2.What is helpful for some animals to forecast the stormy weather?
A.Their sense of sight. B.Their sense of hearing.
C.Their sense of smell. D.Their sense of touching.
3.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The two rhymes are both about winter weather.
B.When leaves show their undersides, it will be fine.
C.If you see a red sky in the morning, you can travel outside.
D.If you see a frog come out of its hiding place, you’d better stay at home.
4.What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To introduce two famous weather rhymes to us.
B.To tell us we should read as many rhymes as possible.
C.To show us the way to observe different animals.
D.To encourage us to get close to nature and observe the weather on our own.

When people want to know about the weather, they usually go to their radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around. Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.
Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable(暴躁) and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread. Other birds chirp and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won’t get another chance for an hour or two. Birds also look for safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Pre-storm low pressure make the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.
It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime, rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.
By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.
【小题 1】The word “indicators” in paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A. maps B. services C. signs D. stations
【小题 2】How can birds sense the coming of a storm?
A. By feeling a drop in air temperature.
B. By noticing the change of wind directions.
C. By feeling a drop in air pressure.
D. By noticing the movements of other animals.
【小题3 】The best title for the text would be________.
A. Signs of a Storm B. Drops in Air Pressure
C. Animals’ Sharp Senses D. Nature’s Weather Signs
