[单项选择]As the American writer, Mark Twain, once said, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." It is true that everybody talks about the weather; it’s the most common way of starting a conversation.
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly ever agree with each other. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east It’s going to rain tomorrow." Another man will say, "Yes, it’s cloudy in the east. We’re going to have fine weather tomorrow."
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell himself it’s going to rain; he won’t believe anything else. When friends have a picnic (野餐), they are so sure the weather is going to clear up very quickly when they sit eating their lunch in the rain.Mark Twain wrote a book on the American weather.

Mark Twain once observed that giving up smoking is easy. He knew, because he’d done it hundreds of times himself. Giving up for ever is a trifle more difficult, apparently, and it is well known that it is much more difficult for some people than for others. Why is this so
Few doctors believe any longer that it is simply a question of will power. And for those people that continue to view addicts as merely "weak", recent genetic research may force a rethink. A study conducted by Jacqueline Vink, of the Free University of Amsterdam, used a database called the Netherlands Twin Register to analyze the smoking habits of twins. Her results, published in the Pharmacogenomics Journal, suggest that an individual’s degree of nicotine dependence, and even the number of cigarettes he smokes per day, are strongly genetically influenced.
The N
A. he is a man with very strong will power.
B. it is easy to give up smoking temporarily.
C. famous writers are often heavy smokers.
