The weather is something no one can control. Maybe that is __16__ there are so many expressions about the weather, especially about __17__. Sometimes, when you need rain, you do not get any. Other times, you get rain when you don't need it. __18__ a baseball game for example. A sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game. If the game cannot continue, people who bought the tickets are given “rain checks”. These are __19__ tickets that will let them see a __20__ game for free.“Rain check” now means a second chance at something. Shops may offer “rain checks” when they sell out all of a product(产品)—a television set, for example, at a special low price. __21__ all the TV sets have been sold out, the shop gives rain checks to those who wanted to buy __22__. The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later at the same low price after the shop receives some __23__ TV sets from the factory.“Rain check” is also used in social situations. It's a way of __24__ an invitation, but for a later time. You may ask for a “rain check” if you are invited to a friend's house for dinner, but can't be there right now.

Now satellites are helping to forecast(预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气), because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.

Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with the earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.

So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before

satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前)．

( )26.Satellites travel __________． A．in space B．above space C．above the ground D．in the atmosphere

( )27.Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because ________．

A．clouds form there B．the weather forms there

C．the weather satellites can do it easily D．the pictures can forecast the weather

( )28.Meteorologists forecast the weather ________． A．without studying satellite pictures B．before they receive satellite pictures C．when they have received satellite pictures

D．after they have compared the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones ( )29.Maybe we'll soon be able to forecast the weather for ________． A．one day B．two days C．five days

D．seven days or even longer

( )30.The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in ________．

A．taking pictures of the earth B．receiving pictures of the atmosphere C．weather forecasting

D．doing other work in many ways
