Click: Hi, McCall. I saw you on TV this morning. In your weather report, you said it was going to rain. I looked out of my window, and it was sunny then. But on my way here, it started raining! How did you know it would rain?
McCall: That’s my job, Click. Every day I study weather maps and weather data (数据) about air temperature, wind, clouds, how dry the air feels, and more. That helps me understand what the weather will be like in the next hours, days, and weeks.
Click: You have to go on TV and tell people what is going to happen before it happens.
McCall: Yes. A meteorologist (气象学家) forecasts or predicts the weather.
Click: But why is it important to predict the weather? It will still rain whether you tell us ahead of time or not.
McCall: Weather is something that affects (影响) everyone. Snow, sun, wind, and rain can all change your plans.
Click: Oh, I get it. My neighbor might not drive his car far if he knows it’ll snow. Or I might plan a picnic if it’s warm and sunny.
McCall: Right. So I tell people what’s happening now, what will happen in the days ahead, and what to do if a big storm is on the way. Look, you can see how the weather is changing on this map.
Click: That’s not a map, McCall. That’s just a big green wall.
McCall: Look at that TV, Click.
Click: Whoa! On the TV, I see you in front of a map, but there isn’t really a map behind you.
McCall: TV meteorologists often work in front of a green screen. The camera takes all the green behind the meteorologist and puts pictures there in its place.
Click: Wait! Then how do you know where to point on the map when you are really just pointing at this blank (空白的) green screen?
McCall: I have a TV in front of me and one on each side. The TVs show me what I look like with my weather map behind me. I look at them to help me know where to point. It takes practice, but it’s a lot of fun.
Click: That’s amazing!
1. What is McCall’s job?
1. What kind of place is this?
2. Where should you go if there is a fire according to the map?
| A．Not getting enough sleep can make you feel blue and impatient, which has a bad influence on your mental health. According to scientists, just one week’s poor sleep can increase stress levels, anger and feelings of sadness. So it’s important for everyone to get enough sleep. |
| B．It’s a really bad habit. Research by De Montfort University recently found that checking your phone often can break your concentration and make you more forgetful. And spending too much time on your phone and on social media is bad for your mental health. |
| C．As a passenger, you are not supposed to eat or drink on public transportation. This way, others don’t have to deal with smells coming from you. Also, the risk of causing a dangerous environment where people may slip (滑) and fall is avoided. |
| D．For most people, it’s bad manners to be late. You don’t value your time. At the same time, you waste other people’s time. And arriving late affects your relationships with others badly. They may get angry with you and think you aren’t the person they can depend on. Gradually, they will lose trust in you. |
| E．Every time you and your pet dog go along the streets, you are acting as the “ambassador (大使)” for the dog, so you should be responsible for it. If you have good dog-walking manners, you will make your neighborhood much pleasanter and safer. On the other hand, your dog will also be well protected. |
