Ever since I graduated from high school I've worked in the factories surrounding my
hometown every summer. However, making the transformation between school and full- time
blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any
class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is suffering.
My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer
vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real
world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In
fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which
would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue- collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight.
Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my
co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to
Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts (
轮班
) in a factory, the other options have become only too
clear. “ This job pays well, but it's hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “ Study hard and keep
reading.” she added. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy
re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice
and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale (
陈腐
的
) now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years
before I enter the real world for good.
24. What does the author think of his summer holiday
？

1

A. It was no holiday for him at all.
B. It brought him nothing but suffering.
C. It was a relief from his hard work at school.
D. It offered him a chance to make more friends.
25. What can we infer about most college students
？

A. They do better in the real world.
B. They are confident when they work.
C. They think too highly of themselves.
D. They are expert at handling machines.
26. What is the biggest pressure for blue-collar workers?
A. A low income B. The lack of security
C. An unstable location D. Less break
27. How did the working experiences change the author
？

A. He became responsible for his work.
B. He learned to be more practical at work.
C. He began to respect blue-collar workers.
D. He came to appreciate his college education.

The artificial control of the weather, known as weather modification, seems like something
out of a science fiction novel, but now it seems to have become a reality. Weather Modification
International, a North Dakota-based company, is using planes to target clouds and draw out more
rain from them.
The concept behind the practice, which is called cloud seeding, has been around for decades.
But there is new urgency due to climate change and a rapidly growing global population, which
have disrupted (
中断
) global water supplies.
Weather Modification describes cloud seeding as “an improvement” of the natural raining
process. The technology makes storms more efficient by getting additional moisture (
水汽
) out of
clouds.
“If there are no clouds in the sky that have any moisture in them, then we can’t do anything.”
said Brian Kindrat, an aircraft captain at Weather Modification. “What we can do is tap into what
is there and assist mother nature.”
To do this, pilots target clouds with lots of moisture and put small amounts of a silver iodide
(
碘化银
) mixture. The water in the clouds condenses (
凝结
) and becomes heavy. Then, it falls to
the ground as rain.
The company sees cloud seeding as part of a solution for droughts (
干旱
). “We aren't going
to solve large climate shifts in areas, but if you went back and you looked in California and said if
we had an additional 10%, 15%, 20% of snowpack and rain over the last 10 year...it would be
significantly Neil Brackin, president of Weather Modification. such a
program as cloud seeding, additional water for cities and agriculture is available. In fact
everybody can benefit from it.
But there are concerns about cloud seeding’s long-term impacts. For example, it's unclear
how making it rain in one state affects a neighboring state. It's also up for debate who “owns” the
water―such as which state or country―that comes out of the clouds. There are also
environmental questions, such as ones related to the long-term impacts of silver iodide.
Although some critics may have concerns about companies impacting the weather, the
company denies that it's “playing God”. “We're not really playing God. I think that's really
overstating what we're doing.” Brackin said. being very specific and environmentally
