A
Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气),because this is where the weather forms (形成).They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists (气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.

A. when they have received satellite pictures

As we all know, the weather change is different from other world problems. The weather is not part of any country. It belongs to all the countries.
Floods, strong winds, drought, earthquakes and things like those show us what changes in climate(气候) could bring to us. Scientists say that those changes could happen at any time. If all countries work together to learn about the danger of nature, we can make it less dangerous.
Luckily, in 1951, the WMO(世界气象组织) was founded. Today, it has 182 countries and areas as its members. Our country joined it in 1972. World Meteorological Day(世界气象日) is celebrated on March 23 each year.
Now more and more people are knowing that the environment is very important because it can affect(影响) the weather. All the countries around the world are trying their best to protect the environment. They look for all kinds of ways to do it. People know that if they don’t protect the environment, bad things will happen.
1. When is World Meteorological Day?

2. What will bad weather bring us?

3. Do you think it important to protect the environment? Why or why not?
