On Wednesday afternoons Annie took the bus into town to shop in the market．For an hour or   1   she would walk up and down between the stalls (摊位) looking at everything, buying here and there, and   2   a sharp lookout for the bargains (计价还价), and then with all the things she needed   3   , she would leave the market for the streets of the town to spend another hour   4   she liked best; looking in furniture-shop windows.

    One Wednesday she found a new shop full of the most delightful things, with a notice inviting anyone to walk in and look   5   without feeing to buy something．Annie hesitated for a moment before stepping through the doorway where, almost at once, she stopped   6   before a green armchair．There was a card on the chair which said, “Cash (现金) price eighty-nine pounds fifty.” A pound a week  7   , she could almost pay that out of her housekeeping money and never miss it!

    A voice at her shoulder made her  8  “Can I help you, Madam?” She looked round at the assistant who had come softly to her  9   “Oh, well, no,” she said, “I was just looking.”

    “We’ve chairs of all kinds in the showroom．If you’ll just come up, you will find something to suit you.”

    Annie,   10   at the thought of being persuaded to buy something she didn’t need, left the shop hurriedly.

    The price of hotels in Britain is going up   1   at any time since the war．There are a number of reasons for this but the   2   all is the Government’s economic policy．Managers in factories see   3   so they are attracted to the idea of owning   4   business．  5   Britain’s weather is often disappointing, the tourist industry is growing．Many people   6   like to combine a   7   holiday with the opportunity of improving their English．It is therefore not surprising that businessmen are buying hotels．The only thing   8   worries me is the kind of treatment their guests are   9   to receive since   10   of them know anything about hotel management.

　　No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we 1 correctly the signs around us we can 2 what the more changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like the following day or two is called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries people have 3 the weather and tried to 4 weather forecasting.

　　Sometimes 5 objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a 6 of much water vapor in the 7 and therefore rain will probably come.

　　Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their 8 the coming of wet weather. Their joints (关节) ache. Some birds fly 9 as fine weather is coming but they fly near the ground if 10 or stormy weather is 11 the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting 12 they fly 13 .

　　If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such 14 always come in the evening. If the stars 15 clearly at night, then fair weather will 16 . If a fog appears in the morning just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. Instead, if a fog appears in the evening the next day will bring wet 17 .

　　If the sunset is mostly red in 18 , then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the 19 sayings have been made by people who have used their 20 and brains to make weather forecasting.
