Passage
One
For
generations,
the
Nganyi
people
of
western
Kenya
have
served
as
rainmake
rs,
helping
local
communities
decide
when
best
to
prepare
their
land
and
sow
their
seeds.
By
observing
subtle
changes
in
nature
that
would
be
unnoticeable
to
most
people-in
air
currents,
the
flowering
and
shedding
of
leaves
of
certain
trees,
the
b
ehaviour
of
ants,
bird
songs,
etc-they
have
been
able
to
interpret
weather
patterns
and
provide
valuable
advice.
But
the
irregular
weather
patterns
brought
by
climate
change
mean
the
rainma
kers
can
no
longer
use
those
sighs
to
make
their
predictions.
And
they
don?t
have
access
to
the
technologies
available
to
meteorologists
(
气象学家
).
“Climate
change
has
come
on
so
fast.
People
don?t
know
how
to
adapt
or
wh
at
to
plant,”says
Obedi
Osoce,
a
traditional
weatherman.
“Our
traditional
crops
are
disappearing
because
they
cannot
handle
the
new
conditions.
We
need
new
strateg
ies
to
handle
climate
change.”
Now
a
British-Canadian
project
si
doing
just
that,
linking
the
rainmakers
with
g
overnment
meteorologists.
The
two
groups
get
together
each
season
and
produce
an
agreed
forecast
to
be
spread
using
a
variety
of
methods
suited
to
communities
where
many
cannot
read
or
write-through
ceremonies,
public
meetings
and
person-t
o
person
comma-kation.
Both
parties
are
pleased
with
the
collaboration.
“
I
think
the
two
sciences
equa
lly
valid.
We
are
marrying
our
energies
to
help
people
better,”
says
Mr.
Onunga,
a
Nganyi
community
elder
involved
in
the
project.
?The
results
have
been
surprisingly
good
-the
community
agreed
that
the
foreca
st
was
accurate,”
says
Gilbert
Ouma,
a
lecturer
at
the
University
of
Nairobi.
“Through
this
project
we
hope
to
learn
what
it
is
that
we
can
share
together
t
o
live
today
and
to
adapt
to
tomorrow,”says
Professor
Laban
Og
allo,
leader
of
the
Nganyi
project.
36.
Which
of
the
following
has
been
used
by
traditional
Nganyi
rainmakers
in
weather
prediction?
seeds
harks
songs
currents
37.
What
difficulty
do
local
rainmakers
face
in
making
weather
predictions?
A.

cannot
find
an
effective
way
to
deliver
messages.
B.
They
lack
modern
technologies
to
cope
with
climate
change.
C.
They
cannot
get
financial
support
from
the
local
government.
D.
They
lack
the
facilities
to
stop
traditional
crops
from
disappearing.

peration?
A.

ed

Passage
Two
After
taking
a
six-week,
fully
paid
maternity
leave
(
产假
)
earlier
this
year,
Franc
ine
Gemperle
was
anxious
to
resume
her
job
but
reluctant
to
be
away
from
her
ba
by
daughter,
Veroni
ka.
Fortunately,
she
did?t
have
to
choose
between
them.
Maya
Design,
a
Pittsburgh
based
creative
consulting
firm,
allows
parents
to
bring
newbor
ns
into
the
office.
“If
I?d
had
to
leave
my
children
after
my
maternity
leave
ended,
I
would
never
have
goes
b
ack
to
work,”
says
Gemperle,
a
designer
and
researcher,
who
brought
her
son
Milo
into
the
office
after
he
was
born.
She?s
not
the
only
parent
taking
advantage
of
the
benefit.
Senior
analyst
Jon
West
brings
his
10-mouth-old
son,
Owen,
to
the
several
times
a
month.
In
fact,
wh
en
West
considered
using
only
part
of
his
paternity
leave,
his
co-
workers
urged
hi
m
to
take
all
six
weeks.
“I
had
pressure
to
take
that
leave,”
recalls
West,
“People
told
me,
it?s
an
impo
rtant
part
of
your
life
and
you
need
to
experi
ence
it.”
“No
matter
how
quiet
the
baby
is,
it?s
an
obvious
distraction
(
分心的事
),”says
T
ory
Johnson,
the
chief
executive
of
Women
for
Hire,
a
New
York
City-based
recruit
ing
film.
No
one
has
complained
yet.
Even
if
somebody
did,
it
wouldn?t
matter
to
Mick
e
y
McManus,
Maya?s
CEO
and
president,
who
argues
that
the
policy
builds
loyalty
a
nd
helps
parents
shift
back
into
work
mode.
As
part
of
its
balancing
act,
Maya
shares
up
to
20%
of
quarterly
profits
with
it
s
employees.
However,
the
size
of
those
checks
might
be
up
in
the
air
at
the
mo
ment.
The
firm
once
laid
off
five
workers
and
it
is
now
considering
4-day
weeks
to
avoid
more
layoffs.

of

following
is

of

Passage
Three
Harry
Potter
fans
will
instantly
recognize
the
snowy
owl
as
Harry?s
famous
com
panies,
Hedwig,
but
these
beautiful
owls
are
easily
recognizable
not
for
their
magic
al
associations,
but
for
their
large
size
and
striking
while
feathers.
Snowy
owls
are,
in
fact,
the
only
white
owl,
and
they
are
a
highly
sought
after
species
for
many
bi
rdwatchers
to
add
to
their
life
lists.
Foods:
Small
mammals,
birds,
fish.
Habitat
and
Migration:
Snowy
owls
are
found
in
far
northern
latitudes
including
tundra,
a
vast
treeless
frozen
region
in
the
Arctic.
Their
breeding
grounds
(
繁殖地
)
are
in
the
Arctic
tundra,
and
they
migrate
south
throughout
Canada
during
the
wint
er.
In
exceptionally
server
winters
or
when
food
supplies
are
searce,
these
owls
ca
n
appear
much
further
south
than
their
normal
range.
While
principally
a
North
Am
erican
bird,
they
can
also
migrate
to
the
northern
areas
of
Europe
an
Asia.
