newspapershowever, newspapers give more information about a storythey may also look at the story in a different way, or they may print completely different stories from those seen on tvsecondly, a news story has to be attractivepeople dont want to read stories about ordinary and everyday lifeas a result, many stories involve some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” newsfor example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane crashesfamiliarity is also important in many storiespeople are interested in international news, but many prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own countrytherefore, the main stories in chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in british, french, and american

your day most likely begins with the local weather forecast in london, birmingham or other cities you may travel tomost of us plan our clothes, outings or work schedules according to it, so having an accurate weather forecast is very importantwith the development of technology and science, we can predict anything from the minutest weather changes to a detailed weather forecastso back in the time of no weather predicting technology, how did people manage to plan for long journeys or protect themselves from storms?just as we study clouds or wind speeds to make a rough estimation (估计) of weather, our ancestors also predicted the weather this waylets learn more about the history of weather forecaststhe science of weather forecasts can be traced back roughly to 340 bc, when a greek philosopher wrote a book named meteorologica that contains information and theories about rain, clouds，storms and thunderit is also believed that chinese astronomers had already made seasonal calendars by 300 bcrecords of weather forecasts in india have been found that date back to around the same timethese methods were based on their observations of weather patterns these observations were collected and handed down to the next generation who used these observations to produce weather forecastshowever, these failed to give the complete picturethis approach was followed until the 1800s, after which forecasting was done with the help of the beaufort scale and the fitzroy barometer, which were primarily used for sea tradethey were the predecessors(前身) of current forecasting systems the 20th century brought with it lots of developments in technology and sciencecomputers replaced older systems and the previously unpredictable london or nottingham weather could now be predicted very accuratelypresently, weather forecasts are done with the help of modern equipment that measures wind speeds, moisture(湿度), etc, which helps to predict minor changes in daily weather and warn us about hurricanes and stormsto add to this, the television and the internet help give minutebyminute updates on the weatherso you dont have to spend hours studying the sky; you can simply go online or turn on the television and plan your day文章大意：本文主要讲述了天气预报的历史。21according to the passage, the book meteorologica_awas written by an unknown indian philosopherbexplains how seasonal calendars

of remains of the ancient corn recently discovered at the paredones and huaca prieta archaeological sites on perus northern coastpreviously, evidence of corn as a food about 5,000 years ago had mostly come from what are called microfossilsmicroscopic remains that do not offer information on the size and shape of the corncobs (玉米棒)but the newfound corn remains revealed a lot, via radiocarbon dating and other teststhe people who lived in paredones and huaca prieta probably cooked corn in several ways: wrapping a corncob and resting it on coals, roasting a corncob directly over a flame, or cooking a corncob in an earthen ovenin this culture, corn was a delicious food or a minor supplement to the dietarchaeological evidence shows they did not eat it in large amountscorn was first grown in mexico about 9,000 years ago from a wild grass called teosinte, according to piperno, whose research has been published in the journal proceedings of the national academy of sciencesa few thousand years later, corn was brought to south america, where farmers bred the plant crop into hundreds of varietiesindeed, what surprised piperno most about the new research was the diversity of cornfrom corncob shapes to kernel (玉米粒)colors discovered in the newfound remains“farmers like to experiment and grow cool things，” she said文章大意：一项新的考古研究发现人类在距今约6700年前已开始食用玉米。24what would be the best title for the
