22、Ways to Predict the Weather Without a Forecast

Most of us know about the weather from the weather report. However, we can know the weather by ourselves. It is a fun hobby, and it can also be a useful skill if you enjoy outdoor activities, such as hiking or camping. By learning what to look for, you can predict(预测) the weather.

▲Watch the Wind and Air.

Observe the direction(方向) of wind. Wind comes when air moves. Since weather moves in from the west, westerly winds bring good weather. Easterly winds suggest that the bad weather is coming toward you.

You can use grass or flower petals(花瓣) to decide the direction of the wind. Throw your grass or flower petals into the air and watch the direction of the wind.

▲Watch smoke from a fire.

The air pressure(压力) decides what direction the smoke will go. In high pressure high up in the sky, the smoke will go up into the air. If the pressure is low, it will be back down around the fire. If you see the smoke back down, bad weather is likely on the way.

▲Take a deep breath.

Close your eyes and smell the air. Smells become wet right before a storm, making them stronger. Before a storm, you should also notice a compost(堆肥) smell as plants release(释放) their waste. If you start to smell this, it likely means that a storm is coming.

【1】The underlined word “Observe” means ________.

A．have

B．play

C．watch

D．smell

【2】Which of the following is true?

A．The grass stands still in the wind.

B．The flower petals can’t tell us anything about the weather.

C．The air pressure is the same in all the places.

D．You can smell the air to know about the weather.

【3】The main idea is about _________.

A．the wind is strong

B．how to tell the weather

C．how to get home earlier

D．how to travel

23、You probably think the music that your parents like is old and dull, and the songs on your playlist are much cooler. But here is what scientists found: people’s music tastes change with their age, according to a study. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’.

We used to think that culture and personality are the only factors(因素) that affect one’s music choice. But researchers at the University of Cambridge got data from more than 250, 000 people over the past 10 years. They noticed that as people grow, their music taste changes. There are three musical periods as people grow up “exciting”, “popular” and “sophisticated”.

The first period comes in the teenage years. People prefer exciting music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be active. But as people move into early adulthood, they hope to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become more fond of popular music, such as pop and R&B, which are usually uplifting and danceable. When middle age comes, things have settled down for most people. In this period they will like more “ sophisticated ” music better, such as jazz and classical, as well as more catchy music like country and blues. For many, they feel tired because of work and family, and they need relaxing and emotive music.

But you must be thinking: “Aren’t there old people who are still into rock music? Of course there are. But Jason Rentfrow, a research member explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. “We like music for different reasons,” he said, and thus at that age people may listen to music that can remind themselves of their youths.

【1】Which kind of music might teenagers like?

A．Country music.

B．Classical music.

C．Rock music.

D．Pop music.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．There are four musical periods as people grow up.

B．Middle-aged people hope to build close relationships with others.

C．Old people will never like exciting music like rock and punk.

D．Music like country and blues can make people relax.

【3】What does the underlined word “catchy” mean in Paragraph 3?

A．可抓到的

B．吸引人的

C．流行的

D．容易理解的

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．People like different kinds of music as their age.

B．Different people like different kinds of music.

C．The most popular kinds of music in the world.

D．People should like the same music as their parents.

24、You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?

The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.

Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.

Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers(顾客) usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.

There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these at once. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see and even reach them.

Except what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time(and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it is quieter on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait for your turn.

So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come out with just the things you want.

【1】Many supermarkets put red stickers on products to ________.

A．make them look more beautiful

B．make them different from cheaper ones

C．make people think the stickers are for men

D．make people think they could save money

【2】According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed ________.

A．on the lower shelves

B．on the back shelves

C．on the front shelves

D．on the higher shelves

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A．several rules that every business should follow

B．several ways supermarkets use to sell more products

C．some advertisements that make customers buy more

D．some advice when people go shopping in supermarkets

【4】Perhaps the writer agrees that ________.

A．people like soft and slow music in supermarkets

B．things are cheaper in supermarkets than in other shops

C．people should just buy things they need in supermarkets

D．people should leave the supermarket with a trolley full of things

25、   People usually do what they like in 【1】 (they) spare time. They keep pets, chat on the Internet and collect things such as coins, dolls or stamps. They also play sports, dance to music, play computer games, etc. Some of these hobbies are relaxing, and some are 【2】 (excite). Hobbies can bring people 【3】 (please), friendship and knowledge. They help people relax after their daily work. When people are getting old, hobbies can keep them 【4】 (health). When people are sick, hobbies can help them get 【5】 (good) soon.
