(北京市六年级下学期期末考试)
If you plan to have a picnic or go camping, you can check(查看) the weather on the phone or TV. Do you know there are natural "weather reporters" around us?

Pine Cones(松果)
When it's dry, the outside of a pine cone opens up. When rain is coming, the seminiferous scales(种鳞) get water from air and then they close.
Ants
When it's going to rain, ants often get busy. They build circles of dirt(泥土) around their homes.
Dragonflies(蜻蜓)
When rain is on the way, dragonflies fly near the ground. They can't fly high because the air is wet and heavy.
Squirrels(松鼠)
When it's going to rain, squirrels collect many pine cones near their homes. They get food for the bad weather.
These natural "weather reporters" are really cool! They help us know the weather in interesting ways. Next time, when you are outdoors, look around. Maybe you'll find these special "reporters".
