If you turn on the radio, you may hear “Most of North and South China will have a cold wet day tomorrow.” Or if you read a newspaper, you may read things like “In the Northeast of Sichuan, it will be fine.” Or if you watch TV, you
may see and hear “Beijing will be rainy. The temperature will be 2 or 9.” Today we can know the weather beforehand. We can listen to or watch or read the weather report. In the past, some people watched their cat to predict (预测) weather. They thought when a cat washed its face, it was going to rain. When a cat put its paws (爪子) in front of it, they thought bad weather was coming. When they saw a cat eating grass, they could say “Oh, there’s going to be a heavy rain.” When a cat was restless (不安), they thought a big wind was coming.

In some parts of the Unites States, farming is easy. But farming has always been difficult in the north-eastern corner of the country, which is called New England.
New England has many trees and thin, rocky soil. Anyone who wants to start a farm here has had to work very hard. The first job is to cut down all the trees. The next job is to dig the stumps （树桩） of the trees out of the soil. Then the farmer has the most difficult job of all, removing stones from his land, which never really ends, because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today, farms which have been worked on for 200 years keep producing more stones.
That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around the new England fields. The stone walls are not high, and can easily be climbed, but they keep the farmer's cow from joining his neighbour' cattle.
（ ） 6. New England lies _______.
A. in England B. in the USA C. to the northeast of England D. to the northeast of Canada
（ ）7. The word 'remove' means _______.
A. move again B. carry out C. take away D. bring back
（ ）8. In what order would a farmer in New England do the following things to start a new farm?
a. Removing the stones from the soil b. Building a stone wall round his fields
c. Digging out the tee stumps. d. Cutting down the trees.
A. a, b, d, c B. b, c, d, a C. d, b, c, a , D. d, c, a, b
（ ） 9. What is the great difficulty New England farmers have in their farming?
A. The soil is as hard as rock B. There are too many stones
C. Plants scarcely grow D. The soil is too thin
（ ） 10. New England farmers build stone walls around their fields _________.
A. to save the trouble of taking away the stones
B. to keep their neighbours from breaking into
C. because stone walls are stronger than fences
D. because stone walls are easy to build

The children at the top of the class succeed by knowing a few basic skills that others can easily learn. According to the education experts and students themselves,. here are the secrets of top students.
Study is the first thing. Once the books are open or the computer is on, phone calls are unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks unnoticed. Study is business; business comes before everything.
Study anywhere or everywhere. Study times are different for different children. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others wake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school. However, all agree that consistency (.持之以恒 ) is needed.
Get organized. Don't waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. Keep everything right where one can put one's hands on it. Even for a student who doesn't keep his own study area organized, a bag or a drawer is needed to put tilings in to save time.
Learn how to read. The secret of good reading is to be an active reader—one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the writer's message.
Use your time best. Even the best students put off their work sometimes. But when that happens, they face it.
Take good notes and use them. Reading the text is important, but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized (强调). That's what you find in your notes.
