Question

Bob was a weatherman at a small television station. He worked for twenty years and during those twenty years,he felt that his life was boring. Every day,he studied the weather and tried to predict (预报)the next day's weather. Then,he stood in front of the camera and read his report. Some days it was cloudy,and some days it was sunny;sometimes rainy,while sometimes snowy. The weather changed each day,but he still felt that his job was always the same. Bob's boss (老板)often told him to be happier and smile more in front of the camera,but he rarely smiled. He thought that most people did not watch his weather report and his job did not matter much to anyone. One day,he arrived at work and began to study the weather as usual. He noticed that something was different that day. Everything he studied told him that there was going to be a very big storm very soon,though he was not completely sure. Suddenly,he felt excited.
