Snakes dishes have become popular in recent years.Snake meat is often seen in restaurants.It seems that eating snake is now in fashion,and if you haven’t eaten snake yet.You are considered out of date.But I wonder whether all of the trends(趋势)are worth following.
Some people may defend(辩解)themselves by saying that eating snake is good for their health,but these people don’t find out that mice and worms(小虫)are often in snakes’ bodies,therefore,there are many parasites(寄生虫)found inside snakes.They may be bad for our health.
Apart from this, we’re sorry to see that more snakes are being killed by a butcher’s knife.
Accoring to the English Newspaper,about 1000 tons of snake are eaten every year in China.In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province,sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day.
If more snakes are eaten by people,the number of snakes will drop,but the number of mice will increase(增加),which will result in a decrease of crop output.This will make more people hungry.Who wants to see such a tragedy(悲剧)happen?
Let’s not eat snakes any more.To protect snakes is to protect ourselves.

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.They send these pictures to the weather station.So the scientists there can see any part of the world and tell how the weather will change.
Today,nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries can receive the new pictures,they compare(比较)them with the 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,they can tell people about it.
So the weather satellites are helpful to the scientists at the station.In the past,they could forecast the weather for about 24or48hours earlier.
Now they can make good forecasts for 5 to 7days.Soon,perhaps,they may be able to forecast the weather for two weeks or more ahead.(提前)
()11.The weather forms in any part of the world.
()12.Changing clouds in the atmosphere means a wind day.
()13.Without satellites,scientists could forecast the weather for one or two days.
()14.The main idea of this article is that satellites are now used in weather forecasting.
()15Soon,perhaps,the scientists may be able to forecast the weather for two weeks or more ahead.
