Satellites Forecast the Weather

  Now satellites are helping to forecast (预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather station. So the scientists there can see the weather of any part of the world and tell how the weather will change.

  Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries can receive satellite pictures. When they receive the new pictures, they compare (比较) them with the earlier ones. Perhaps they may find, that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, they can tell people about it.

  So the weather satellites are of a great help to the scientists at the station. In the past they could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours earlier. Now they can make good forecast for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.

1.The weather forms ________.

[  ]

A.in any part of the world

B.in the atmosphere

C.in space

D.on the ground

2.Changing clouds in the atmosphere means ________.

[  ]

A.it is a rainy day

B.it is a windy day

C.the weather will change

D.it is a sunny day

3.Without satellites, scientists could forecast the weather for ________ ahead.

[  ]

A.a week or more

B.one or two days

C.3 or 5 days

D.two weeks

4.The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in ________.

[  ]

A.taking pictures of the atmosphere

  All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.

  In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouse. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.

  Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony (仪式). It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.

  Another tea-drink country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “ teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a tea pot and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and little sandwiches at teatime.

  In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In the summer, many Americans drink cold tea----“ iced tea”. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans, like soda.
