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(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if the weather is fine, 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.

40. Which is true about weather forecasting?

A. Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.

B. Weather forecasting is a report about the weather.

C. Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.

D. People can change the weather forecasting.

41. Which of the following can be used here to replace the underlined phrase “on the way”?

A. continuing B. reducing. C. coming. D. disappearing.

42. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy?

A. Some birds fly high.

B. A rainbow appears in the morning.

C. The sunset is mostly red in colour.

D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.

43. The best title of the passage is _______.

A. Weather forecasting plays an important role in our life

B. Weather forecasting can bring people some signs of weather

C. Weather is forecasted only by eyes and brains.

D. People can predict weather by experience in daily life

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card （成绩报告单）arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.

One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you.” Just then, I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster, “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The
