①Have yu ever heard that grundhgs can predict (预测) the end f winter? Hw abut that elephants never frget things? Or that dgs can smell the strange? That may nt be 100% true. Hwever, many animals d have strnger senses than humans.
②D animals have a sixth sense that can tell the future? That may sund ut f this wrld. Hwever, many events seem t supprt this idea.
③Thusands f years ag, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings came dwn. Many peple were hurt. But there was smething amazing. The city’s animals acted strangely days befre the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran frm the city in grups. Did they knw an earthquake was cming? In 1975, ne millin peple had t leave their hmetwn, Haicheng, Lianing Prvince with the help f Chinese gvernment. Why? They believed a disaster was cming. They thught this, in part, because f animals’ strange behaviurs. Just days later, a large earthquake hit the city. Experts (专家) said 150, 000 culd have lst their lives if peple stayed in the city at that time. In December 2004, the animals f Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants ran arund.

A Clud is made f water drps r ice crystals flating（漂浮）in the sky. There are many kinds f clud. Cluds are very imprtant t Earth’s weather.
The sky can be full f water. But mst f the time yu can’t see the water. The drps f water are t small t see. They have turned int a gas called water vapr(水蒸气). As the water vapr ges high in the sky, the air ges cl. The cler air causes the water drplets（微滴）t stick t things like dust(粉尘), ice r sea salt.
Cluds get their names in tw ways. One way is by where they are fund in the sky. Sme cluds are high up in the sky. Lw cluds frm clser t Earth’s surface. In fact, lw cluds can even tuch the grund. These cluds are called fg. Middle cluds are fund between lw and high cluds.
Anther way cluds are named is by their shape. Cirrus cluds（卷云）are high cluds. They lk like feathers. Cumulus cluds(积雨云) are middle cluds. These cluds(层云) lk like giant cttn balls in the sky. Stratus cluds are lw cluds. They cver the sky like bed sheets.
Mst f the water in cluds is in very small drplets. The drplets are nt heavy s they can flat in the air. Smetimes thse drplets jin with ther drplets. Then they turn int larger drps(水珠). When that happens, gravity（重力）causes them t fall t the Earth. We call the falling water drps rain. When the air is clder, the water may frm(形成) snwflakes instead.
Cluds are imprtant in ur daily life. At night, cluds reflect(反射) heat and keep the grund warmer. During the day, cluds make shade that can keep us cler. Studying cluds helps peple have a better understanding f Earth’s weather.
