2、Questions are based on the following passage.
Wouldn't it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists.
Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage, because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that's several hours old to make a local forecast.
What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? "A picture of moisture is doing in the atmosphere," says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There's moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don't see it, because it's in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water. It's called condensation, and we see it happen all the time (for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses, droplets come in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is seen.
Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But don't take our word for it; see for yourself.
The word "meteorologists" in the first paragraph means
A．people who broadcast weather on TV
B．people who are in charge of weather forecast
C．experts who study the earth's atmosphere and its changes
D．experts who study the earth's crust, rocks, strata and the history of its development
3、Questions are based on the following passage.
Politics is an emotional business．Still，many people found themselves unusually moved by the historic presidential inauguration．Watching the huge crowds，we saw laughter,cheers，hugs—but also many tears．
It made us wonder ,why do people cry ?It is believed that tears must be good for us—a way to calm the mind and cleanse the soul．Yet studies show that crying sometimes makes people feel worse．
Three researchers in Florida and the Netherlands recently looked more deeply into the subject．
They examined detailed descriptions of crying experiences．Psychologist Jonathan Rottenberg at the University of South Florida says they wanted to study crying as it happens in everyday life，not in a laboratory．The team analyzed information from the International Study on Adult Crying．As Dart of that study,3，000 people in different countries，mostly college students，wrote about recent crying experiences．They noted causes，surroundings and any people involved in the event．They also reported how they felt after they cried．
Professor Rottenberg says the research showed that all crying experiences are not created equally．
Crying does not always make a person feel better,he says．About lo percent of people reported feeling worse after they cried．But a third felt better after crying．And a majority reported the experience was helpful．The research showed that people who cry alone may not do as well as those with others around．
People who reached out for emotional support at the time——and received it——reported better resuIts from the crying experience．But those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying were less likely to report that crying had been helpful．
Research has shown that women cry more often and more intensely than men，but it mav not be to better effect．The new findings did not show that a person’s sex was a predictor of beneficial crying．
In other words，just because women cry more does not mean they are more likely to have a"good"cry．
The paper entitled／s Crying Beneficial?appeared in December in Current Directions in Psychologica，Science．Scientists say the science of crying is still in its infancy．
According to the passage，which of the following statements about crying is TRUE?
A．Crying is absolutely good for people’s health．
B．Those crying with others around will feel better than those crying alone．
C．Crying will help a lot for those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying．
D．The benefits of crying are related to a person’s sex．
