         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. Many people feel their joints hurt in their bones if wet weather is coming.
    Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is
    on the way. It is probably because of the insects (昆虫) which they are hunting that they fly low. If you
    see a rainbow (彩虹) 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 color,
    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.
    1. According to the passage,  people's joints ache ______.
    A. is a sign of coming rain
    B. without any reason
    C. because they are ill
    D. because of the insects
    2. Which is true about weather forecasting?
    A. Weather forecasting is a recorder about the weather on the following day or two.
    B. Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.
    C. Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.
    D. People can change the weather.
    3. The birds fly high and the stars twinkle clearly is a sign that the weather will ______.
    A. be warm
    B. be rainy
    C. become clear and fine
    D. be cold
    4. A rainbow is a ______ of the weather.
    A. sign
    B. way
    C. method
    D. road
    5. We must ______ to make weather forecasting.
    A. use our eyes and brains
    B. study the weather hard
    C. read correctly the signs
    D. All of the above

         Sigmund Freud was a world-famous doctor of Vienna (维也纳). He was also a man full of humour
    (幽默). Once, at his 70th birthday party, a friend asked Freud if he could put his work into several words.
    "Well," said Freud,"we take the sick out of their trouble and return them to the common suffering."

    the band playing, but forgot it was the King's birthday. Freud was visiting his mother on her 95th birthday. He

         When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known.
    He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person.
         When Dr. Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it
    a forest.
         The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I
    asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would
    grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early
    on.
         He talked about how watering trees made for shallow (浅的) roots, and how trees that weren't watered
    had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important.
         So he never watered his trees. He'd planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he'd beat it
    with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
         Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at
    the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They're very big and strong now. I planted
    some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too
    much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.
         Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray (祈祷) that their lives will be easy.
    But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties.
    There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep
    into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won't be beaten
    down.
    1. We know from the reading the doctor ______.
    A. didn't know how to plant trees at all
    B. wasn't good at his own medical job
    C. had his own ways of planting trees
    D. had nothing to do but plant trees
    2. When Dr. Gibbs said "... pick out the weaker trees early on.", he meant that ______.
    A. some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning
    B. he would choose the weak trees to w ater earlier
    C. the weak trees would be sent to his patients later
    D. he would not plant weak trees so early anymore
    3. The passage tells us that the writer ______.
    A. should beat his trees with a rolled-up newspaper
    B. didn't often water his trees
    C. didn't have a large field
    D. took too much care of his trees
    4. The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that ______.
    A. his trees will be stronger than Dr. Gibbs'
    B. his trees will not be beaten down
    C. his sons will be better at planting trees
    D. his sons will be able to face difficulties

         Now you've finished three years of English study. There's one way to demonstrate (展示) what you've
    learned-take a test!
        Do you have any special methods (方法) you use to help you do better on a test? How well you do is often
    a matter of how well prepared you are. Here are some ways to make sure you're at your best on test days.
        Go to bed early. The night before a test is not the time to stay up watching TV. You want to be rested and
    wide-awake for test day.

    plenty of low-sugar, high-energy food to keep your brain and body working their best.

        Watch the numbers. Make sure that the number of the items (项目) on your answer sheet matches the
    number of the question.
        Look over all the answer choices (选择). Don't assume (假定) that choice A is correct until you've checked
    the others. You may find a better one. And it is wrong to eliminate (排除) any choice that you can see at once.
    You'll have a better chance of finding the right answer.
        Check the clock. Make sure you allow yourself enough time to answer every question and go back and
    check your answers. Don't spend too much time on any difficult question. Skip (跳读) it and come back to
    it later.
