    　　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．
