Read and then choose the correct answer to
question 28-30.
In the past, before technology was used to monitor
the weather accurately, people looked at the skies,
watched how animals and plants behaved, and relied
on signs and superstitions to forecast the weather.
Indeed, some people still believe that, when cows lie
down or a cat sneezes, It is going to rain. Nowadays,
scientists who study the weather, called
meteorologists, use many different methods to make
their forecasts. Satellites monitor our weather and
send information to computers at special processing
stations. On the ground, weather stations all over
the world record wind speeds and directions,
temperature, clouds and air pressure.
