In tropical(热带)countries people do not discuss about

1．________

the weather very much because one day often very much like

2．________

the last one and the next one．But in temperate(温和的)

3．________

areas, the weather changes much more rapid．At 6 a. m.,the

4．________

sun may be shining; at 7 a. m. it may be poured with rain; at

5．________

a quarter past seven the sun may be shining again, but there

6．________

may have many more changes during the day．This makes

7．________

it difficult for people to plan such events as the picnic, a

8．________

visit to friends, a game, etc．Because this, they discuss

9．________

the weather less than people living in tropical countries．

The telephone rang and I picked out the receiver(话筒)．“Hello,”

1．_______

I said．“Hello,” said the voice．“Bill here, is Betty there?”

2．_______

“I’m sorry,” I said, “You have got the wrong number．”

3．_______

A few seconds late, the telephone rang again．Just

4．_______

as I expected, he was Bill, “You have made a mistake again．”

5．_______

I explained．The telephone rang a third time．This made I

6．_______

angry．I speak in a big voice, “Hello, Bill, Betty here．”

7．_______

For a moment there was a dead silent．Then someone said,

8．_______

“What’s the wrong with you, Tom?”It was my mother．

I could do anything but say sorry to my mother．
