12、il to September and the wet or rainy season which usually happens from October to March. But, it could be indeterminate. Sometimes the rainy season can come a month earlier or later. It can be prolonged(延长) even more than 4 months and so can the dry season. Even during the dry season, rain can occur
13、 several times in certain areas. The prolonged dry season in tropical areas usually causes a lot of losses. It will be very harmful to local farmers, because most of the tropical areas are regions of the developing countries. Sometimes agricultural and plantation crops will be damaged because of so
14、much dry land and the fact that the river used to flow the water for rice fields are also dry. Rain is very important for plants because rain contains many nutrients that plants are in great need of. Whats more, if the prolonged rainy season arrives and then floods usually occur in certain areas of
15、low lands. Even for the capital city of Jakarta floods have struck several times during the prolonged rainy season. In addition to floods, the rainy season can cause many diseases.

On the dusty streets, Indian and Pakistani men sit cross-legged outside tea shops and restaurants. At one end of the r
22、oad, men queue by the doorways of crowded supermarkets to buy necessities: boxes of teabags, milk, sugar, bread and soap. The shops are dark and poorly stocked. However, only five miles away, on the other side of the city, Doha shows a completely different image. It shines brilliantly with skyscrape
23、rs, five-star hotels and noble apartment buildings. The area looks like any other modem district in the world. Qatar, a tiny gulf(海湾)nation, is a country of vast local and international ambitions. At home, it has owned several international universities. Abroad, it tries to speak louder on gulf affa
24、irs. These ambitions are urged by the countrys unbelievably rich reserves of fossil fuelsIn December 2012, Daba was the site of Copl8 UN Climate Change Conference and in 2022,Qatar will host the World Cup.

C When Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with colored pencils, he often has to ask other people to tell him what color
31、 his masked men turned out to be because hes color-blind. Now, a new smart phone application (app) can help him figure out what colors hes using and how the picture looks to most everyone else. The DanKam app, available for iPhone and Android for $2.99, is an application that turns the vague colors
32、that one percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the true colors as everyone else sees them. In America, an estimated 32 million color-blind Americans-95% are males-can soon have their life improved.DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phones camera and changes the
33、colors slightly so they fall within the range that people who are color-blind see, developer Dan Kaminsky told CNET. He came up with the idea after watching the 2009 film Star Trek with a color-blind friend. It was then that he got to know more about colorblindness like its varying types and degrees
34、. A vast majority, for instance, have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect(遗传缺陷). Blue-yellow colorblindness, however, is rarer and develops later in life because of aging, illness or head injuries, etc. He started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in
35、 the RGB color model. What the DanKam app attempts to do is to clean up the color space of the image or video signal so that colors can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems. “You can adjust the app to fit your needs. There is a range and not everyone who is color-blind sees things the
36、 same.” Says Kaminsky.Sparkman, a copy editor at CNET, tried out the app and was pleased with the results. It would be useful for dressing for a job interview, he said. But using it for his art is “the most practical application. It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets, which me
