People, especially English people, love talking about the weather. It’s an easy way to start a conversation. But do you know some weather terms can also express a feeling or situation. Here are some interesting expressions.

Head in the clouds

If someone has his head in the clouds, they are out of touch with the everyday world and can be unrealistic as a result.

The expression reminds you to be aware of what’s happening around you.

Take a rain check

If you hear someone say “I’ll take a rain check”, it doesn’t mean that he will go out to see if it’s raining.

In fact, the expression could be used as a polite way to turn down invitations. However, not as a full refusal, but more likely to put the invitation off to another time.

When it rains, it pours

The expression is used when something goes wrong, especially when a lot of things go wrong at the same time. People like to say it when they meet with bad lucks one after another in a short time.

Weather the storm

As an extreme weather, a storm could be very dangerous and cause serious results. To weather the storm is to get through difficult situations in your life.

In June last year, I had an opportunity to do volunteer work in a small village which is located in northern Australia, far from the cities. Living there is an experience that cannot be fully defined in just words. Although the people of this small village are short of the much material wealth that most of us in big cities have, their positive(积极的) outlook on life is comparable to what we have.

The small village suffered a natural disaster(灾难)about two years ago. Many people lost their material belongings and their houses. Soon after the disaster, families had to live under one roof in houses that were suitable for just- one family. Instead of feeling bottled in, the people felt more of sense of belonging when families had to live together in such conditions. They banded together to help each other in rebuilding their houses.

It was still beyond my understanding how family took priority (优先) over anything else. If someone is in need, the family will provide any support needed. In cities, it is said that “Houses are getting bigger, while homes are getting smaller”. In this small village, the home will always remain big. Children are taught from an early age that family is worth more than any material wealth that they will come across. They pass the value to their kids, and the cycle continues in keeping family values.

I still remember on the third day I arrived in the small village, two elders wanted to adopt me into their tribe(宗族). As part of that process, I was given a Spirit Totem, and was told that I officially belonged to their tribe. One of the elders explained, “No one is a stranger here. You come here, and you become part of us! Can you imagine if we had that outlook in every small village or on every street on earth?

Leaving this small village was challenging for me indeed. Not only did my outlook change, but my understanding of how life can be defined in different ways took a turn for the better

IV. Choose the right sentences to complete the article.

If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. 1.If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. 2.You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle (吹口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. 3.

Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun.4.They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.

If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches(树枝). 5.

When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don't just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in order to go back again easily. When you are lost, the most important thing to do is to stay in one place.
