     Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The
satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大氣), because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to
the weather stations.  So meteorologists (氣象學(xué)家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the
scientists can often say how 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 ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed
during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather
forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
     So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could
forecast the weather for about 24 0r 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps,
they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.
1. Satellites travel _____.
A. in space
B. in the atmosphere

2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because _____.
A. the weather satellites can do it easily
B. clouds form there
C. the weather forms there

3. Meteorologists forecast the weather _____.

A. when they have received satellite pictures
B. after they have compared new satellite pictures with eariler ones
C. before they received satellite pictures
D. when they are studying satellite pictures
4. Maybe we'll soon be able to forecast the weather for _____.
A. one day
B. two days
C. five days

　　I always thought that a man who was wise (睿智的) and good would become rich, but this year I have learned that this is not always true. I learned this from my teacher.

He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help. He is kinder to us than anyone whom I've ever known. I think it must be easier to learn history or maths than to learn how to become such a man. He scolds (責(zé)備) us when we do something wrong, but it teaches us to try to do better. We all wish to study with him as long as possible, but that may be impossible.
