四、阅读表达。
阅读下面短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Every city has a weather station. The workers need to collect weather data（数据）. Then they make a report about the weather. The weather changes a lot, so it's difficult for them to get the data. Sometimes they have to walk in the wind and snow.
Here is a chart（图表） of the 2024 weather data in a northern city in China.

Then why do the workers have to collect weather data?
★To help visitors
Weather data are very useful to visitors. They can know about the weather in the places they want to visit before they get there, so they can get fully prepared.
★To help people in daily life
With the help of weather data, people can know what to wear on that day. For example, if the weather report says “Tomorrow the temperature will drop below zero, to $-10°\mathrm{C}$”, you'll put on your down jackets（羽绒服） before going out for work or school.
★
Many animals live in the mountains or on the farm. Bad weather can sometimes bring them danger. So weather data are useful for helping animals.
So weather data are really important to us. We should say thanks to the workers.
