One day, Bill went to the beach with his friends Jim and Bob. After playing for a while, Bill fell {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （sleep） on the comfortable beach. After an hour, he woke up. He found his friends {#blank#}2{#/blank#} volleyball. Bill walked towards them and b{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to play with them.     

    Bob hit the ball too hard and it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fall) into the sea. Just as Bob was going to pick up the ball, a strong {#blank#}5{#/blank#} blew it away. Bill wanted to show off (炫耀) his swimming skills, so he decided to get the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} back for them.

    After swimming for about ten minutes, Bill became tired. He r{#blank#}7{#/blank#} it was impossible for him to get the ball. But he tried his best to swim to it. At that moment, some black clouds appeared in the sky！Oh, what strange weather it was！It started to rain {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.  

    At that time Jim and Bob were completely surprised because they couldn't see Bill. They didn't just stand on the beach in s{#blank#}9{#/blank#} anymore. They shouted for help.

    {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (luck), a young man saved Bill.

    The weather is closely related(联系) to our life. It is all around us all the time. It is an important part of our lives. We can't control(控制) it,  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it often controls how and where we live and what {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do) .Read this passage and learn something about the weather.

    What is weather?

    The weather is just the state of the atmosphere(大气层) at any time, such as temperature, wind, rain, sun, etc.

    What makes weather change?

    As we know, not every place on the earth gets the same amount of sunlight. Some places get more sunlight. So it's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (warm) in those places. Some places get {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (little) or no sunlight in winter. Then those places have {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (low) temperatures. These {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (different) in temperature make the air and water move around the earth. The movement helps to take the heat energy from the sun {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the earth. So the weather changes.

    What's the difference between weather and climate(气候)?

    Climate is a place's weather over a long time. The weather changes from day to day and even from hour {#blank#}8{#/blank#} hour. It can be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (sun) in the morning, cold and wet in the afternoon. But the climate changes very

 {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (slow) over lots of years.
