But if you know what to look for, you can use your own senses t

9、o make weather predictions.There are many signs which can help you. For example, in fair weather the air pressure is generally high. The air is still and often full of dust. Faraway objects may look hazy. But when a storm is brewing, the pressure drops and you are often able to see things more clear

10、ly. Sailors took note of this long ago and came up with a saying “The farther the sight, the nearer the rain. “Your sense of smell can also help you detect weather changes.

11、ather low moves in, air pressure lessens and odors are released.You can also hear an approaching storm. Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force.

At the same time, there is no question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind o

16、f adults that children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that parents socialize their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervised and are expected to follow explicit rules at their jobs. If they do not follow t

17、he precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience influences how they deal with their children. As a result, their concern is less with their childrens motivations and more with their childrens outward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishm

18、ent in managing their children.

28、rred and whispered in awe as, on the stage, the horse slowly tapped out the beat. Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainers question.

29、ame was Clever Hans, the Educated Horse, and was featured in a vaudeville(杂耍 )act in the early 1900s, in Europe. When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner, Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves. For example, if the answer was sixty-eight, Hans would tap out s

30、ix with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof. Even more remarkable, the owner would leave the room after asking the question, so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse. A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of mans!It wasnt until years later that t

31、he secret of the trick was revealed. The owner had trained Clever Hans to respond to slight signals. The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowds reaction. Members of the audience would start involuntarily, or give some unconscious signal, when Hans reached the right an

35、ut sixty years to grow to a good size. A redwood may take hundreds of years.Lumber companies, which make their money on trees, depend on those that grow quickly. Therefore, they are always looking for methods to make trees grow faster. So far, the secret to fast growing trees seems to lie in “ super

36、-seeds. “ These are seeds that are gathered from the quickest growing trees in a forest. One company searched 100,000 acres of trees and selected the seeds from just fifteen trees. These two ounces of seed were enough to plant several hundred new trees. Eventually, when these trees have grown, seeds

37、 will again be taken only from the fastest growing trees of crop. This process of artificial selection will yield, in the future, a super-tree that will grow in half the time it takes normal trees to develop.Unfortunately, it takes a long time for a plan like this to reach its goal. The Weyerhauser

38、Lumber Corporation, which started its first collection of seed in 1958, is just now beginning to harvest the super-seeds of the first generation of the faster growing trees.37 This selection centers on_.（A）the life span of trees（B） the age of redwoods（C） making trees grow quickly（D）cutting trees for
