To me, weather is the most exciting field in the worldThere are still so many more questions about weather than answersAfter all, if we cant foresee floods or hurricanes, how safe a society are we? Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problemsThe next generation of meteorologists weather scientists will unlock many of Earths weather secretsSo get a general knowledge of Earth science, and study meteorology weather science in collegeThanks, Sam 49Judging from the writing style, the text is _Aa diary Ban interviewCa news storyDan announcement50As a child, ABC-TVs Sam Champion wanted to be a _Aspace scientistBweathermanCnews reporter Dmeteorologist51Present weather forecasting technology _Ahas made weather report more exact than everBis still not perfectChasnt changed much in the last 50 yearsDboth A and B52The study of weather science is called _A meteorologyB forecasting C geography D earth scienceDThe kids at Shute Country Primary School in Devon are surprisingly quiet when its time to go home in the afternoon, instead of the usual shouting and running you can hear them asking each other, “ Are the lights all off?, “Shall we check the taps in case they are dripping 滴水?, “How many paper towels did we use today?
