Everybody talks about the weather; it"s the most common subject of conversation, for example, "Isn"t
it a nice day?" "Do you think it will rain?" "I think it is going to snow," All this are the common ways of
starting a conversation.
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly ever agree with
each other. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It is going to rain tomorrow."
Another man will say, "Yes, it"s cloudy in the east.We are going to have a fine day tomorrow."
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water,he looks for something to
tell him it is going to rain; he won"t believe anything else. When friends have a picnic, they are so sure the
weather is going to clear up very quickly that they won"t sit eating their lunch while it rains.
Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he does not always tell us what we want,
and once in a while he makes a mistake.Still, he probably comes closer to being correct than anyone else. |

It will be a nice sport, and I"ll be able to do something good at the same time!
Jason Moore, 18
This summer, I"m going to volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost houses and

The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are drawing near. Are you looking forward to watching the matches? If
so, here are some suggestions you need to know about audience manners.
Most sporting arenas (赛场) have rules for audience which are written on the back of the tickets. Read
your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don"t
walk about when a game is being held. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other
rubbish.
During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don"t criticize (批评) the performance of players and
coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.
Applause is a special form of body language you can use to communicate (交流) with players. But you
should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them; don"t go on for
too long. After an excellent performance, applaud (鼓掌) warmly.
Applause is not welcome, however, while a game is being held and the players need to focus all their
attention. Different sports have different rules for the audience. Enjoying artistic gymnastics (艺术体操) requires
silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. Using flash (闪光灯) to take photos is
quite disturbing to tennis players. Mobile phones can not be used in shooting centers.
To be a good spectator (观众), you should take time to learn the game — related rules and audience
manners of each event. |
| 1. According to the writer, it"s good manners to __________. |
| [ ] |
A. applaud for the excellent performance of players properly
B. complain about the bad performance of players from time to time
C. arrive at the sporting arenas just before the start of the event
D. walk here and there when a game is being held |
| 2. According to the passage, in which of the following events CAN"T we use flash to take photos? |
| [ ] |
