In some ways, you may be right. Weekend weather differs from weekday weather in certain places, say researchers who studied more than 40 years of weather data from around the world. They focused on temperature differences between daytime highs and nighttime lows. This difference measurement is called the daily temperature range, or DTR.
Part of the study involved 660 weather stations in the continental United States. At more than 230 of these sites, the average DTR for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday was different from the average DTR for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the researchers found. The difference was small only several tenths of a Celsius degree-but the pattern was striking enough to make the scientists take notice.
In the southwestern U. S., temperature ranges were typically broader on weekends. In the Midwest, weekdays saw larger daily temperature variations.
This sort of weekly rise and fall doesn't line up with any natural cycles, the researchers say. Instead, they blame human activities, possibly air pollution from those activities, for these weather effects. For example, tiny particles in the air could affect the amount of cloud cover, which would in turn affect daily temperatures.
So, tiny windborne particles from California, generated on weekdays, might first affect weather close to home in the southwest, then later influence midwestern weather.
It looks like your weekend weather has a lot to do with which way the wind blows and where it comes from.
It can be concluded that ______.
A．the sky always turns gray only on weekends.
B．in the Midwest, weekdays saw larger daily temperature variations sometimes.
C．this difference measurement is called DTR, meaning the daytime temperature range.
D．part of the study involved 660 weather stations only in the United Nation.

It was unfortunate that，after so trouble-free an arrival，he should stumble(磕绊)in the dark as he was rising and severely twist his ankle on a piece of rock.After the first shock the pain became bearable，and he gathered up his parachute(降落伞)before limping into the trees to hide it as best as he could.The hard ground and the deep darkness made it almost impossible to do this efficiently.The pine needles lay several inches deep，so he simply piled them on top of the parachute，cutting the short twigs that he could feel around his legs，and spreading them on top of the needles.He was not sure if it would stay buried，but he could do nothing else about it.
After limping for some distance from his parachute he began to make his way downhill through the trees.He had to find out where he was，and then decide what to do next.But walking downhill on a rapidly swelling ankle soon proved to be almost beyond his power.He dragged his legs with increasing difficulty，walking in long side-way movements across the slope，which meant taking more steps but less painful ones.By the time he cleared the trees and reached the valley，day was breaking.Mist hung in soft sheets across the fields.Small cottages and farm houses grouped around a village church，the spire(尖顶)on its top pointing high into the cold winter air to greet the morning.
“I can’t go much further，”John Harding thought.“Someone is bound to find me.What can I do？I must get a rest before I go on.They’ll look for me high up there in the mountains where the plane crashed.I bet they’re out looking for it already.They’re sure to find the chute in the end.So they’ll know I wasn’t killed and must be somewhere.They’ll think I’m hiding up there in the trees and rocks and look for me there.I’ll go down to the village.If I’m lucky my foot will be good enough by the evening and I can manage to get to the border.”
He could hear the faint echoes of voices far above him on the mountainside，startling him after great silence.Looking up，he saw lights like pinpoints moving across the face of the mountain in the gray light.The road was deserted，and he struggled along，still almost invisible in the first light，easing his aching foot wherever he could，avoiding stones and rough places，and limping quietly and painfully towards the village.He reached the church at last.A great need for peace almost drew him inside，but he knew that would not do.Instead，he limped along its walls towards a very old building a short distance from the church.It seemed to have stood there forever，as if it had grown out of the hillside.It had the same air of timelessness as the church.John Harding pushed open the heavy wooden door and slipped inside.

Two software companies that report their financial statements under U.S.GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) are identical except as to how soon they judge a project to be technologically feasible.One firm does so very early in the development cycle while the other usually waits until just before the project is released to manufacturing.Compared to the company that judges technological feasibility early, the one that waits until closer to manufacturing will most likely report lower:
A.financial leverage.
B.total asset turnover.
C.cash flow from operations.
Into this happy world the nineteenth century brought two new facts: the rifle and the British Government. The first was an enormous luxury and blessing; the second, an unmitigated nuisance. The convenience of the rifle was nowhere more appreciated than in the Indian highlands. A weapon which would kill with accuracy at fifteen hundred yards opened a whole new vista of delights to every family or clan which could acquire if. One could actually remain in one's own house and fire at one's neighbour nearly a mile away. One could lie in wait on some high crag, and at hitherto unheard-of ranges hit a horseman far below. Even villages could fire at each other without the trouble of going far from home. Fabulous prices were therefore offered for these glorious products of science. Rifle-thieves scoured all India to reinforce the efforts of the honest smuggler. A steady flow of the coveted weapons spread its genial influence throughout the frontier, and the respect which the Pathan tribesmen entertained for Christian civilization was vastly enhanced.
The action of the British Government on the other hand was entirely unsatisfactory. The great organizing, advancing, absorbing power to the southward seemed to be little better than a monstrous spoil-sport. If the Pathan made forays into the plains, not only were they driven back (which after all was no more than fair) ,but a whole series of subsequent interferences took place, followed at intervals by expeditions which toiled laboriously through the valleys, scolding the tribesmen and exacting fines for any damage which they had done. No one would have minded these expeditions if they had simply come, had a fight and then gone away again. In many cases this was their practice under what was called the" butcher and bolt policy" to which the Government of India long adhered. But towards the end of the nineteenth century these intruders began to make roads through many of the valleys, and in particular the great road to Chitral. They sought to ensure the safety of these roads by threats, by forts and by subsidies. There was no objection to the last method so far as it went. But the whole of this tendency to road-making was regarded by the Pathans with profound distaste. All along the road people were expected to keep quiet, not to shoot one another, and a
