         When people want to know about the weather, they usually go to their radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the
    Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs (征兆) among wildlife. A drop (下降) in air pressure
    affects small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. Before a storm, people outside
    have observed that field mice come out of their holes and that Deer come down from the mountains.
         Birds are good weather indicators. For example, some birds become irritable (急躁的) and will fight over a
    piece of bread. Other birds chirp (叽叽喳喳) and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won't have
    another chance for one or two hours. Birds also look for safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see
    birds gathering together on a wire (电线) close to a building. Before the storm, the low pressure makes the air
    so thin that birds have difficulty flying.
         It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime. Watch for other weather signs if you
    see this. If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.
         By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind
    of weather.
    1. The word "indicators" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
    [     ]
    A. maps
    B. signs
    C. services
    D. stations
    2. There will be a storm if birds ______.
    [     ]
    A. make more noise than usual
    B. keep quiet
    C. come down from a wire
    D. share food
    3. How can birds feel the coming of a storm?
    [     ]
    A. By feeling the change of temperature.
    B. By noticing the change of time.
    C. By feeling the change of air pressure.
    D. By noticing what other animals do.
    4. The best title for the text is ______.

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
