WILD WEATHERMAN

Name: Sam Champion

Hot job: TV Weatherman

Where: ABC-TV, New York City

When you were a child, did you plan to forecast wind, rain, and snow on TV?

I wanted to be a foreign journalist. I took courses in weather science at Eastern Kentucky University, but I majored in broadcasting news.

How did you finally become a weatherman?

My first job in the early 1980s was at the local TV station in Paducah, Kentucky. I did everything from turning on the lights in the morning to writing and delivering morning news. I put together weather forecasts, and became interested in them.

Back then, how did you forecast weather?

Independent companies collected computer information that showed, for example, how a single weather system might split into snow or snow mixed with rain. The information was often opposite and the job of a weatherman was to study the information and make the best educated guess about the storm.

Has weather forecasting changed much with new technology?

Advanced computers, satellites, and Doppler radar (sound waves used to track storms) have made forecasting more exact. But we still know very little about how weather is shaped. So far, we just have theories.

Any advice for children who'd like to become weather scientists?

To me, weather is the most exciting field in the world. There are still so many more questions about weather than answers. After all, if we can't foresee floods or hurricanes, how safe a society are we? Weather forecasting is wide open for scientists who love to solve puzzling problems. The next generation of meteorologists (weather scientists) will unlock many of Earth's weather secrets. So get a general knowledge of Earth science, and study meteorology in college.

Thanks, Sam.

It must have been around nine o'clock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark． As I came near to the gates I turned off the head lights of the car so as to prevent the beam from swinging (擺動(dòng)) through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me． But I needn't have done so． I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway—unless he had fallen asleep while reading． I put the car away and went up the steps．

Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack's room． He was in bed awake, but he didn't even turn towards me．

“What's up, Jack﹖” I asked．

“For God's sake, don't make a noise,” he said．

The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself serious injury．

“Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said．

I thought that he must be ill and that I had better give way to him to keep him happy． “There is a snake here,” he explained． “It's asleep between the sheets． I was lying on my back reading when I saw it．I knew that moving was out of the question． I could not have moved even I'd wanted to．” I realized that he was serious． “I was depending on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home,” Jack went on． “It has not bitten me yet but I dare not do anything to upset it． It might wake up． I'm sick of this,” he said．“I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago．”

There was no time to argue or apologize for being late．I looked at him as encouraging as I could and went to telephone the doctor．

When he got home, Neville found that ＿＿＿＿＿．

    A．Jack had fallen asleep while reading     B．Jack had been reading for some time

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled (searched) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which   41   their search. I found   42   and because of my shaking hands, I could   43   get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked   44   the bars at my jailer（看守監(jiān)獄的人）. He did not make eye contact with me. I   45   to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette.   46   he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently（無意中）locked with mine.

He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too.   56   without another word, he   57   my cell (牢房) and silently led me out．Out of the jail，quietly and by back routes，out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.
