The Weather

　　Many people think they can tell what the weather will be like. But they don't think in the same way(方式). One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow." Another man will say, "Yes, it's cloudy in the east. We shall have rainy weather tomorrow."

　　People look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it will rain. He won't believe(相信)anything(任何事)else(別的). When friends have a picnic(野餐), They are so sure the weather will be fine very quickly that they sit eating their lunch when it rains. (so…that…如此…以致于…)
