14、For generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves o

15、f certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice. But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they dont have access t

We are marrying our energies to help people better,” says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project. The results have been surp

19、risingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,” says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi. “Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi proje

27、f executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film. No one has complained yet.

32、 these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers.

40、y will only hunt during he dayPassage Four We lost two superstars in 1977. Neither mans admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one.

41、y and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie career

42、s despite a total lack of acting ability. Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now.
