The rain is good because it “knows” the right time to come. Here Du uses personification, as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmers’ busy season. The rain comes during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the quiet spring rain finishes its task without being known. Next, Du describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier. Finally, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all the flowers bloom after the rain. ( )44. Which word is the most suitable for ▲ ? A. wrong B. early C. late D. right ( )45.
