阅读理解专项练（一） On a hot summer day, you find the pond has almost dried up. Where did the water go? It goes into the air! Each drop of water is made of droplets. When the sun warms them, they go up and become part of the air. However, do you know how rain is formed (形成)? High in the sky, the air is cooler. As the water in the air cools, it changes back into droplets. They get together to make clouds. In the clouds, many many droplets get together and grow bigger. When they are heavy enough, they fall from the sky as raindrops, or if it’s very cold-snowflakes! The water we have on the earth is always moving and changing!
