Many Americans like talking about the weather. They have a lot to talk about. People have
always tried to forecast the weather. In the old times they only guessed or based it on what the
weather was like in the past.
Today people use radars, satellite (спутниковые) pictures and computers. All these
instruments help them to make weather pictures. Some people try to forecast the weather for a
whole (целый) year or a whole season. Each November, the United States Weather Service
forecasts what the weather will be like. And each year, Americans read a forecast for the whole
year in the Old Farmers newspaper.
Both the Weather Service and the Old Farmers newspaper use information about past years.
They combine (соединяют) it with the information from satellites (спутников), balloons, radar
stations and ships at sea. Then a computer gives a report. Such reports are very important for
many Americans.
Americans may not like a lot of their weather, but they certainly like to talk about it.

1. Read the article from a children’s magazine. Choose the best title for the article.
a) Clothes in Britain.
b) British people don’t care for clothes.
c) Formal clothes in Britain.
These days most people in Britain do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is
important to wear the right thing. Many British people don’t think about clothes very much.
They like being comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost
anything. At the theatres, cinemas and concerts they can wear what they like from jeans and
sweaters to T-shirts and shorts. Anything is OK as long as you look clean and neat
(аккуратный).
But men in offices usually wear suits and ties (галстук) and women wear dresses or skirts
(not trousers). Doctors, lawyers (юристы) and businessmen wear formal clothes. And in some
hotels and restaurants men wear ties and women wear smart dresses. Jeans and open shirts are
sometimes not allowed (не разрешаются). It is difficult to say exactly (точно) what people wear
in Britain because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other
people do and do the same (то же самое). Or ask the advice of a friend. You’ll be more
comfortable if you don’t look different from everyone else.
