Now satellites are 1 to forecast (预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can 2 any
part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气) , 3 this is where the weather
forms(形成). They send these 4 to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the
weather of any part of the world. From the pictures , the scientists can often say 5 the weather will
change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they
receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier 6 . Perhaps they may find that the
clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the 7 on the ground may soon
change, too . In their next weather forecast , the meteorologists can say this. So theweather satellites are
a great 8 to the meteorologists. 9 satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather
for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or fivedays. Soon , perhaps ,
they may 10 forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前) .

3.For those of us who are studying at school,the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill,because they are afraid of failing;they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried,don"t hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend,or someone in your family,or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn"t help you,ask someone else. How to get through exams? Here are some advice: Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons,and exam skills-how to work when you are in an exam. Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired,it will not remember well. Plan your work:study at times when you know you will work at your best. Get enough sleep,and eat healthy food. You need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sports-whatever you enjoy. Stop thinking about the future and failing. If you feel ill,talk to someone about your worries. But don"t be too relaxed! 4. Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them. If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished,don"t do it! In fact,don"t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written! To this advice,we could add: If you are studying in the evening,don"t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be "going round and round"-thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you,and make you think of other things. | |||||||
