 READING
I. Read the extract from the book. Choose the best answer.
DO – IT – YOURSELF FORECAST
When the wind is in the west, the weather is always best. When the wind’s in the south, the rain’s in
its mouth.
Have you heard sayings like these before? Or have you heard that when cows lie down it’s
going to rain? Maybe you’ve heard that a sunny Christmas Day means we’re going to have a warm
Easter. Many cultures have traditional ideas about how to forecast the weather and they all have
one thing in common: they are not very accurate. Most of them are about as accurate as saying
that the weather tomorrow will be more or less the same as today. The weather is too complicated
to be forecast easily and simply.
How do meteorologists go about trying to forecast the weather? The first thing they need is
information, and lots of it. Data is constantly collected from weather stations around the world.
Weather balloons tell us what is happening at high altitude. Satellites give us images of cloud cover
and wind direction. All this information is processed by computer and combined with information
about the normal climate of a region to produce the forecast. Even so, we can only accurately
forecast the weather for the next couple of days.
Can’t we amateurs forecast the weather at all, then? Yes, we can, but to be a great amateur
meteorologist you need to do some of the things the experts do. First of all, collect your information.
You need to know about the climate in the area where you live. What’s a typical summer like? How
much rain normally falls in October? If your area never gets fog in the summer, then a forecast of
fog in July is unlikely to be accurate. The next thing you need to take into account is local
geography. Are there any mountains nearby? They could affect the wind. Are you by the coast?
That could affect rainfall. All these factors need to be considered when you are trying to understand
what the weather is going to do next. You’ll also need some basic equipment: a good thermometer,
a barometer to measure pressure in the atmosphere and, if possible, a wind meter. Start to keep
records of the temperature, pressure and wind speed and direction each day.
Then it’s a question of using your eyes, and even your ears. Listen to the radio. Is there a lot of
static? Together with falling atmospheric pressure, that probably means that the weather is going to
get worse. Go outside and listen. Do sounds seem clearer than usual? Is there a kind of ring around
the sun or moon? It could mean that it’s going to rain. Is your barometer rising and do the clouds
seem to be getting higher? It probably means that the weather is clearing up.
With a little practice, your forecasts will become more accurate. Soon, you’ll be able to plan your
day better. Are you playing football tomorrow? Well, a quick look at your equipment and a few
minutes spent outside will tell you whether it’s going to rain or not. Are you going skiing next week?
Maybe you should forget it if there’s no chance of snow. Making your own forecasts can be a lot of
fun, and who knows? You might even beat the experts!
1. What does ‘them’ in line 4 refer to?
A. different cultures
B. traditional ideas about the weather
C. most weather forecasts
D. the weather on different days
