The English Weather
In no country other than England, it has been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day! Day may break as a warm spring morning; an hour or so later black clouds may have appeared from nowhere and the rain may be pouring down. At midday it may be really winter with the temperature down by about eight degrees or more centigrade . And then, in the late afternoon the sky will clear, the sun will begin to shine, and for an hour or two before darkness falls, it will be summer.
The uncertainty about the weather has had a definite effect upon the Englishmans character; it tends to make him cautious , for example. The foreigner may laugh when he sees the Englishman setting forth on a brilliantly sunny morning wearing a raincoat and carrying an umbrella, but he may well regret his laughter later in the day!

B you cannot experience four seasons in a year in England.
D the weather in England never changes.
A you can experience four seasons every day throughout the year.
C winter there is the coldest in the world.

D The predictable climate.
A England is covered by heavy fog for ten months of the year.
C One cannot be sure when the different types of weather will occur.
40 The word lands in the last sentence could best be replaced by
B earth.
D parts.
