No one can change the weather. Nobody 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.
For many centuries and in all countries, people 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(關(guān)節(jié)) 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 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 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.
【小題1】Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”?

A．a(chǎn)wayB．gone
C．disappearingD．coming
【小題2】When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.
A．warmB．rainy
C．clear and fineD．cold
【小題3】Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?
A．A rainbow appears in the morning.
B．Some birds fly high.
C．The stars twinkle clearly at night.
D．Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.
【小題4】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Nobody can control the weather.
B．If the sunset is red in colour, then the next day will be fine.
C．If many people feel their joints hurt, it may be a sign of wet weather.
D．People only use their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
【小題5】Which of the following sentences can suitable according to the passage?
A．活到老，學(xué)到老。B．朝霞不出門(mén)，晚霞行千里。
C．早起的鳥(niǎo)兒捉蟲(chóng)多.D．一日之計(jì)在于晨。

解析試題分析：短文大意：閱讀短文可知，這篇短文主要介紹了一些天氣現(xiàn)象與天氣之間的關(guān)系，并介紹了一些常見(jiàn)的判斷天氣的方法。
【小題1】詞義猜測(cè)題。聯(lián)系前一句Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming,可知此處指的是當(dāng)暴風(fēng)雨來(lái)臨時(shí)，它們就貼地低飛。故選D，來(lái)臨。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue.描述，可知如果夜晚星星很明亮，說(shuō)明天氣要變好。故選C。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.描述，可知早晨見(jiàn)彩虹說(shuō)明雨天就要到來(lái)。故選A。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段描述，可知人們主要利用一些現(xiàn)象來(lái)進(jìn)行天氣預(yù)報(bào)。故選項(xiàng)D描述錯(cuò)誤。
【小題5】主旨大意題。閱讀短文可知，這篇短文主要介紹了一些天氣現(xiàn)象與天氣之間的關(guān)系，故選B。

In the USA, there are many kinds of restaurants.
Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu (菜單) on the counter (柜臺(tái)), and say what you’d like to eat. You pay the person who brings food to you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There’s no need to leave a tip (小費(fèi)).
In a coffee shop, you sit at the counter or at a table. You don’t wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you’d like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier (收銀員) as you leave.
In a family restaurant, the waitress shows you where you can sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don’t need to tell her yours. If you can’t finish eating everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take the rest of food home. You should add (增加) fifteen per cent to the bill (賬單) as a tip.
In top class restaurants, you had better order before you come, and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine there, he may ask you to taste it.

If you live in the United States, the law(法律) says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer vacations you can work 40 hours each week. Does that mean if you are younger than 14, you can’t make your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can make money by doing lots of things.
Valerie, 11, often makes money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lana , 13, makes money by knitting（織）sweaters for dogs and selling them to her neighbors, and Lisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her works to people. People have asked her draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 12, writes articles for different magazines!
Making money is learning. By working to make your own money, you are learning the skills you need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology(技術(shù)) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning(掙) it. However, when you make your own money, you don’t have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better than the twenty dollars you ask for.
