听力原文： The United States has the largest economy in the world. The size of an economy is usually described in terms of the Gross Domestic Product. The Gross Domestic Product, or G.D.P., is the value of all goods and services produced in a country in a year. In 2004, the United States had a G.D.P. estimated at close to 12 million dollars. What percentage of that was agriculture？ The government says just 9/10 of one percent. Farm workers make up an even smaller percentage of American labor: 7/10 of one percent.
In 2004, almost 20 percent came from industry—and almost 80 percent came from services. The number of farms continues to decrease in America, whereas farm earnings have risen to record levels in recent years. Agricultural productivity continues to increase because of new technology and methods. But the Agriculture Department estimates that 9 percent of farm income last year came from government payments. That number is expected to decrease in the future.
Exports have provided American farmers with an average of about 25 percent of their money for the last 8 fifteen years. Canada and Mexico are two of the three biggest markets for American farmers. In fact, in 2002, Canada replaced Japan for the first time as the top buyer of American agricultural exports. The Department of Agriculture says exports to the European Union are slowing. But exports to other countries within the Americas and to Asia are growing.

M: Well, you didn't expect it to be warm, did you.'？
W: of course not, but I just heard the National Weather Service’s prediction for the next 90 days. They said it's supposed to be much colder weather than usual.
M: Yeah, maybe. Personally, I think those long-range forecasts are useless (23) .
W: Not as useless as you think.
M: Oh, come on, when you're talking about what's going to happen three months later, you might as well just pick a forecast out of our hat.
W: Well, you are half-right. They aren't very good for the amount of rain. But they are a lot better for temperatures especially for this time of the year (24) .
M: Really, so I should take them seriously about the cold but not count too much on a lot of extra snow？
W: Un huh.
M: But what did you say about this time of the year？ Do some seasons really give them more problems in making forecasts？
W: Autumn is the worst, apparently weather patterns change so much then, just think how variable our weather has been the last three months (25) .
M: Come to think of it. That's true. It probably would have been hard to predict all those changes back in the summer. You know, you're beginning to convince me there is more to forecast than I thought. How come you know so much about it？
W: I get my information from an expert. My sister's a meteorologist.

M: Oh, I don't think it will last long. The weather forecast says it will cloud over by mid-afternoon.
