29、facial expression。 Only two percent madecorrect judgments.

36、 thatwriting，you can tellsomething about the atmosphere.With some practice， you can become a pretty good weatherforecaster.Who knows，you might even do as well as meteorologists.Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast.They collectdata fro
