Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki’s bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works．

    The bed is connected to an alarm(鬧鐘)clock．First，the alarm clock rings．You have a few minutes to wake up．Next，a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music．The tape recorder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a recording of his girlfriend．She whispered in a soft voice，”Wake tip，darling，please．”A few minutes later， Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss．His boss shouts，”Wake tip at once，or you’ll be late!” If you don’t get Lip after the second recording，a mechanical(機(jī)械的) ”foot” in the bed will kick you on the head．The bed waits a few more minutes．What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher．The foot of the bed goes lower and lower．Finally you slide(滑)off the bed and onto the floor．You are out of bed awake!

    Hiroyuki’s bed is not in stores．There is only one bed——the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest(比賽)．Maybe someday a company will make Hiroyuki’s bed and sell it in stores．Maybe people will buy millions of beds．Then Hiroyuki will be rich．If the bed makes Hiroyuki rich，he won’t need to work，and he won’t need to get up early!

1．The bed is useful to the people         ．

    A．who can’t sleep well                         B．who can’t get tip early

3．What will finally happen to Hiroyuki if he doesn’t get up?

    A．He will slide onto the floor．

    B．A tape recorder will play a recording of his boss．

    C．The bed will rise higher and higher．

No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting（天氣預(yù)報(bào)）.

For many centuries and in all countries people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting.

Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water vapour（水蒸氣）in the air, and therefore rain will probably come.

Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather. Their joints aches. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because of the insects (昆蟲(chóng)) which they are hunting that they fly low.

If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows always come in the evenings. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fair weather will continue. 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 be wet weather.

If sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.

Most of the above sayings have been made by people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.

1. When birds fly near the ground, wet weather or a _____ will come.

A. storm          B. rainbow     C. dry weather      D. fog

2. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, the weather will ________.

A. continue to be rainy              B. clear up

C. be cloudy                           D. get dark soon

3. Many people have tried their best to ________ the weather.

A. control      B. change           C. forecast            D. affect

4. When distant hills and tall trees seem to be very clear ________.

A. people will shout

B. birds will sing

C. there are rings round the sun

D. rain will probably come

5. A lot of people have pains in their joints before ________.

A. fair weather comes                         B. it rains
