26、ny rainfall is the result of a complex chain of events.I used to think that rain was started when the cloud somehow forced out its water, as we would press a sponge (海绵).

28、millions.Each droplet changes as the air condition changes. When its size increases, it becomes heavier, until the air can no longer hold it up.
