People travel for a lot of reasons Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines Others are looking for culture, orsimply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach

to lie on

Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have

so little of it Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because thedays are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attractedthem Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation They allcome for the same reason, sun!

The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked solid

every summer And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts

more people than anywhere else 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can handle The Mediterranean is already one of the mostpolluted seas on earth And with increased tourism, it's getting worse The French can’t figure out what to do with all thegarbage left by campers around St Tropez And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution

None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists Obviously,

they don’t go there for clean water and solitude They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches They don’t

even mind the pollution No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful And as long as the sun shines, it'sstill better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on you r answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

While some forecasting methods had limited success predicting the 1997 El Nino a few months in advance, the Columbia

University researchers say their method can predict large El Nino events up to two years in advance That would be a boon

for governments, farmers and others seeking to plan for the droughts and heavy rainfall El Nino can produce in various parts

of the world

Using a computer, the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000 and were then able to anticipate El Nino events dating back to 1857, using prior sea-surface temperatures The results were

reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature

The researchers say their method is not perfect, but Biyan Weare, a meteorologist at the University of California, Davis,

who was not involved in the work, said it "suggests El Nino is indeed predictable." "This will probably convince others to

search around more for even better methods," he added

The new method "makes it possible to predict El Nino at long lead times," said lead author Dake Chen of Columbia

University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory "Other models also use sea-surface temperatures, but they have not looked

as far back because they need other data, which is only available for recent decades," Chen said

The ability to predict the warming and cooling of the Pacific is of immense importance The 1997 El Nino, for example,

caused an estimated $20 billion in damage worldwide, offset by beneficial effects in other areas, said David Anderson, of the

European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in Reading, England The 1877 El Nino, meanwhile, coincided with a

failure of the Indian monsoon and a famine that killed perhaps 40 million in India and China, prompting the development ofseasonal forecasting, Anderson said

When El Nino hit in 1991 and 1997, 200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone, according to a 2002

United Nations report While predicting smaller El Nino events remains tricky, the ability to predict larger ones should be

increased to at least a year if the new method is confirmed, Anderson wrote in an accompanying commentary El Nino tends

to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February The warming tends to last between

9 and 12 months and occurs every two to seven years Chen said the new forecasting method does not predict any major El Nino events in the next two years, although a weak warming toward the end of this year is possible.

People travel for a lot of reasons Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines Others are looking for culture, orsimply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach

to lie on

Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have

so little of it Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because thedays are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attractedthem Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation They allcome for the same reason, sun!

The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked solid

every summer And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts

more people than anywhere else 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can handle The Mediterranean is already one of the mostpolluted seas on earth And with increased tourism, it's getting worse The French can’t figure out what to do with all thegarbage left by campers around St Tropez And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution

None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists Obviously,

they don’t go there for clean water and solitude They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches They don’t

even mind the pollution No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful And as long as the sun shines, it'sstill better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo

While some forecasting methods had limited success predicting the 1997 El Nino a few months in advance, the Columbia

University researchers say their method can predict large El Nino events up to two years in advance That would be a boon

for governments, farmers and others seeking to plan for the droughts and heavy rainfall El Nino can produce in various parts

of the world

Using a computer, the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000 and were then able to anticipate El Nino events dating back to 1857, using prior sea-surface temperatures The results were

reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature

The researchers say their method is not perfect, but Biyan Weare, a meteorologist at the University of California, Davis,

who was not involved in the work, said it "suggests El Nino is indeed predictable." "This will probably convince others to

search around more for even better methods," he added

The new method "makes it possible to predict El Nino at long lead times," said lead author Dake Chen of Columbia

University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory "Other models also use sea-surface temperatures, but they have not looked

as far back because they need other data, which is only available for recent decades," Chen said

The ability to predict the warming and cooling of the Pacific is of immense importance The 1997 El Nino, for example,

caused an estimated $20 billion in damage worldwide, offset by beneficial effects in other areas, said David Anderson, of the

European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in Reading, England The 1877 El Nino, meanwhile, coincided with a

failure of the Indian monsoon and a famine that killed perhaps 40 million in India and China, prompting the development ofseasonal forecasting, Anderson said

When El Nino hit in 1991 and 1997, 200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone, according to a 2002

United Nations report While predicting smaller El Nino events remains tricky, the ability to predict larger ones should be

increased to at least a year if the new method is confirmed, Anderson wrote in an accompanying commentary El Nino tends

to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February The warming tends to last between

9 and 12 months and occurs every two to seven years Chen said the new forecasting method does not predict any major El Nino events in the next two years, although a weak warming toward the end of this year is possible.
