听力原文: No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if you study correctly the signs around you, you may tell important changes in weather. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.
For many centuries and in all countries people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water vapor in the air, and therefore rain will probably come. Rings round the sun are also a sign of corning rain. Many people feel pain in their bones, This is a sign of the coming of wet weather. Some birds fly high if free weather is coming. They fly near the ground if rain or stormy weather is on the way, It is probably because the insects which they are hunting fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows always come in the craning. If the rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. If a fog appears in the morning just about sunrise then the day will be warm. Lf the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine,
Most of the above sayings have been made by people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.

Number one is to have clear goals. Decide how many years you will invest for, and what your needs will be in the future.
Number two is to understand the range of possibilities. You'll want a diversified portfolio: one with a mix of stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and cash. It's a jungle out there. Each of these products has different risks associated with them and also different potential rewards. Understand them before you buy, so there won't be any big surprises later.
Finally, number three is to have realistic expectations. As our friend Leonardo da Vinci said in the year 1500. "He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year."
Over the past several years. New York stocks have averaged 30% annual returns, but don't count on this continuing. While it's true that since the year 1900. stocks have averaged an 11% annual return. It's a roller-coaster ride with many minus years as well. so you have to stay in for the long term—you have to weather the storm—and not be too greedy.
