wspapers, or the Internet.However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife because of their highly developed senses.Drops in air pressure affect small mammals (哺乳动物) and insects in many ways.Try looking in or near the house.Mice are good weather indicators.People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that field mice come out of their holes and run around before a storm.

Deer leave the high ground and come down from the mountains before a storm.If you see this, you can be sure that there will be a storm within two days.When you see large numbers of sea crabs on a sandy beach, it is time to leave.A change in air pressure over the water warns the crabs that a storm is coming.To escape the stormy sea pounding the shore, they leave the water and seek shelter on land.

Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways.For example, some birds become easily annoyed and will fight over a piece of bread.Other birds sing just before a storm.It seems they know they won't get another chance for an hour or two.Birds also seek shelter before a storm.You will sometimes see birds resting in trees or staying closely together on a wire near a building.This is a good storm signal.

Seabirds sit out a storm on land.Anytime you see seagulls sitting on the ground in large groups, reluctant to fly, it is not a very good day to go sailing.It is unusual to see large groups of birds flying overhead in the summertime.Watch for other weather signs if you see this.You should also stay alert if you see migrating birds flying in the wrong direction.These birds may be flying ahead of a storm.And if you can't see a bird anywhere, look out! They may have flown to a different place because a violent storm is coming in their direction.

填句补文

Biological Clock

When the sun rises on a warm and sunny day, you can see some flowers open up. When they close late in the afternoon, other flowers open.

Biological rhythms(生物节律), like the opening and closing of flowers, happen all over nature. But not all of them are daily rhythms. Some, like the beating of our heart, happen every second. （1）Scientists use the term biological clock to describe the timing that controls biological rhythms. （2） In some animals it is probably controlled by the brain. In plants and other living things that have no brain, it must be something else.

The migration of animals happens when a signal is sent out. For example, when days become shorter, birds leave the northern parts of the world and fly south where it is warm. （3）Humans also have biological clocks that control their daily rhythms. When people travel by plane from one continent to another, they often cross many time zones. Their internal clocks don’t seem to work correctly. We call this jet lag(时差). （4）People who work night shifts also have problems with their biological clocks. They may not be as active as people who work during the daytime.

Biological clocks control many rhythms of life. （5） Doctors are looking for new ways to make travelling more comfortable and medical treatment more effective.

A. But where can you find it？

B. This makes them feel tired.

C. In the summer they fly back to have babies.

D. We are learning more and more about them.

E. Biological clocks can be adjusted.

F. Other rhythms are based on months, seasons or years.

听力原文： Ask the average American,"What is freedom？"You will probably hear,"It's being able to do what I want to do." When Americans think of freedom, they often think of individualism.They see themselves more as individuals than as members of a family or social group.

In American culture.freedom means equality.The Declaration of Independence states that"all men are created equal."That does not mean equal in abilities or status.For Americans,equality refers to equal worth and equal opportunity. Every individual should have an equal chance to improve his life.True,America has not always lived up to that ideal.For many years,Native Americans,African Americans and immigrants have protested their unequal treatment. But American culture still teaches that people can work hard and fulfill their dreams.Whether this idea is true or not,people hear rags-to-riches stories often enough to confirm it in the minds of many people.

Freedom arouses strong feelings for Americans.The idea of liberty binds people together in this"land of the free." However,problems still exist.One individual's freedom can conflict with the rights of others. Someone once said,"You have the freedom to swing your fist around if you want.But your freedom ends where my nose begins."People can also become too concerned about their own rights.They might demand special treatment.However,the path to freedom is not completely smooth.Even so,for Americans,no other road is really worth traveling.

What do Americans often think of when thinking of freedom？

A．Collectivism.

B．Equality.

C．Social group.

D．Individualism.

Dear Brett,

Welcome back to St.Swithen’s.I look forward to hearing about your adventures in the US.

I’m writing because there have been a lot of changes since you went away, and you need to know about them before you can start work.

The main change is that we have had a new computer system installed.You will need to be trained in using the system before you can see any patients! I’ve arranged for you to have a training session at 10 o’clock on Monday with our IT consultant, Gerry.He’s a really nice guy.

It’s especially important that you can use the patient records system.We’ve had a few teething problems, and it seems complicated at first;but when you get used to it, you’ll find it really helpful.For example, it’s much quicker than the old system.Remember you used to wait ages before the information came up on the screen？ Well, now it’s very quick.

You will also need to be familiar with the appointment booking system, so you can see who your next patient is.The new program makes it impossible to double-book a patient, so we shouldn’t get as many complaints as we used to.

As well as the computer system, we’ve also installed a new electronic security door.You will need a special card from reception and it will need replacing every two months.I’m afraid we made Bill redundant.It’s a shame;I used to enjoy talking to him every morning.

Well, I hope you like the improvements.Most people find that it makes their work easier and faster.There is one downside though;the atmosphere has become less personal.I used to talk to everyone a lot, but now we communicate by email most of the time.I even email people who work in the same room as me!

Well, see you on Monday, Brett.Nice to have you back.

Best wishes,

Simon

a huge？ pale hot-air balloon. Many people think of the bright full moon of autumn or the harvest moon that way—like a huge？ pale hot-air balloon. But can you always trust your eyes？

The harvest moon is the full moon on a day nearest the first day of autumn. Full or nearly full, it rises early in the evening for several nights in a row. It brings farmers well-lit evenings to harvest their crops.

Why does the moon look bigger when it is near the horizon？ Our brains compare the size of the moon with the size of the objects we see on the horizon.
