Peter always doesn’t know the way. His friends often laugh at him. They say he needs a map to find the bathroom in his own house. In his eyes, every street looks the same, and he doesn’t know which way to go. Sometimes he has to take a taxi home because he can’t remember the way to his house.
Peter watches a lot of films and reads a lot of books about animals. Each bird knows which way is south. Bats (蝙蝠) can fly at night and find their way with their ears. He feels embarrassed (困窘的) because all these animals have a good sense of direction. He tries to find his way with the help of stars in the sky. There is a star called the North Star, and he knows how to find it.
Of course, Peter’s friends are still laughing at him, because he can only see the North Star outside when it is sunny at night. He can’t tell the directions in the daytime or when he is inside or when it is cloudy.

No one call change the weather．Nobody can control the weather．But if we read correctly the signs around us，we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be．This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting．
For many centuries and in all countries，people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting．Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain．Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints hurt．Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming，but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way．If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sigh that the weather will become clear and fine．Such rainbows come in the evening．If the stars twinkle clearly at night，then fine weather will continue．If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm．If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine．If a rainbow appears in the morning，rainy weather will probably come．Most of the above saying have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting。People’s joints ache．

Every object has weight．But the center of its weight is not always in the middle of the object．If the top of ail object is heavier than its bottom (底部)，it will fall over easily．We say that its center of gravity (重力) is high．But if the bottom is heavier, it won’t fall easily, Then we say that its center of gravity is low．
Look at the first picture．This empty box must fall over, because its center of gravity (C) is not above the line of its bottom (AB)．
Now look at the second picture．There is some heavy iron (铁) in the bottom of this box．It will not fall，because its center of gravity is above its bottom．
If the bottom of an object isits top，it will fall over easily．

| B．the bottom of the tower is not heavier than its top |
| C．its center of gravity is still above the line of its bottom |
| D．its center of gravity is not above the line of its bottom |
