完形填空
As the American writer, Mark Twain once said,“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does 1 about it.”It is true that everyone talks about the weather; it’s the 2 subject of talk there is.
“Isn’t it a nice day?”
“Do you think it will rain?”
“I think it’s going to snow.”These are common 3 starting a talk.
Many people think that they can tell that the weather is going to be 4 .But they hardly very agree with each other.One man says, “Do you see 5 cloudy it is in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.”Another man will say,“Yes, it’s cloudy in the 6 .We are going to have fine weather tomorrow.”
People often look for the weather they want.When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it’s going to 7 .He won’t believe anything else.When friends have a picnic(野炊)they are 8 sure the weather is going to clear up(转晴)very quickly that they sit eating their lunch 9 it rains.
Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says.But he doesn’t 10 tell us what we want, and once in a while he makes a mistake.Still, he probably comes closer to be correct than anyone else.
