Passage Three
Considered as a continuous body of fluid, the atmosphere is another kind of ocean. Yet, in view of the total amount of rain and snow on land areas in the course of a year, one of the most amazing water facts is the very small amount of water in the atmosphere at any given time. The volume of the lower seven miles of the atmosphere--the realm of weather events- is roughly four times the volume of the world’s oceans. But the atmosphere contains very little water. It is chiefly in the form of invisible vapor, some of which is carried over land by air currents. If all vapor suddenly fell from the air onto the earth’s surface, it would form a layer only about one inch thick. A heavy rainstorm on a given area may use up only a small percentage of the water from the air mass that passes over. How, then, can some land areas receive more than 400 inches of rain per year How can several inches of rain fall during a single storm in a few minutes or h
A. There is little water contained in the atmosphere even in a heavy rainstorm.
B. In some places there falls an amount of over 400 inches of rain every year.
C. Most water vapor comes from the Oceans all over the world.
D. The process of water returning to the atmosphere is called evaporation.
Teachers grumble over pay everywhere, but in West Virginia Wesleyan College the anger is acute. Salaries here have barely moved since 2000, and the average assistant professor’s pay has fallen below that at Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College. On a campus with just 86 full-time faculty, a sociology professor said, a few hundred thousand dollars more spent on teaching could make a real difference.
Wesleyan President William Haden says the college plans to raise faculty pay. But he says Wesleyan is nothing without students -- "they vote with their feet" -- and the college has no choice but to address their wants and needs. He says technology has been a big part of that, and some recent graduates agree that it’s valuable -- though maybe not essential. Daniel Simmons, a 1999 graduate and also a middle-school teacher, praised the technology program. "If I had gone to another school it wouldn’t have been available to me,"
A. It is the teachers’ needs rather than the students’ that really count in Wesleyan.
B. The technology program provides scholarship for high ability freshmen.
C. The cancel of the nursing program hinders Wesleyan from recruiting students.
D. Online applications are still required if students want to enter Wesleyan.
