二、閱讀理解。

Everyone talks about the weather. Its the most common subject of conversation. For example， “Isnt it a fine day？ Do you think it will rain？ I think its going to snow.” All these are the way of starting a conversation.

Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like， but they hardly ever agree with each other. One man may say， “Do you see how cloudy it is in the east？ Its going to rain tomorrow.”

People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water， he looks for something to tell him it is going to rain， and he wont believe anything else. When friends have a picnic， theyre so sure the weather is going to become clear very quickly that they even sit eating their lunch while it rains.

Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he doesnt tell them what they want and once in a while he makes a mistake. Still， hell come closer to being correct than anyone else.
