Many people believed that Charles Hatfield could. In the early 1900s, Mr. Hatfield traveled through the United States, Canada, and Mexico bringing rain

49、 to farms and cities that suffered from drought. For 30 years, people considered him the greatest rainmaker in North America. In order to make it rain, he used a secret mixture of chemicals that he placed high on wooden towers in special trays(盤(pán)). As the chemicals evaporated(蒸發(fā)), they attracted rain

50、 clouds to the area. Over his career, Mr. Hatfield even offered to help clear the fog from London and to water the Sahara Desert. One of Mr. Hatfields most amazing rainmaking accomplishments happened in southern California in 1916. Because he knew that the city of San Diego did not have enough water

51、, Mr. Hatfield offered to give the city a hand with its water problem. He planned to create enough rain to fill the lake behind Morena Dam near the city. Since the time the dam was built, the lake had never been more than half full, but the lake could hold 57 billion liters of water if it were full.

52、 Filling the lake would help the city of San Diego with its constant water problems. Mr. Hatfield suggested that if he succeeded in filling the lake with rain water, the city would pay him $10,000. If no rain fell, the city would pay nothing. The city agreed because they had nothing to lose from the

53、 business deal, and only paying $10,000 for that much water seemed to be a steal. On January 1, 1916, Mr. Hatfield began his rainmaking procedure. It began to rain four days later The rain continued for the next five days. On January 10, it began to rain more heavily, and the rain continued for the

54、next 10 days! The city of San Diego was flooded. Fifty people died. More than 200 bridges were washed away, and many miles of train tracks were destroyed. However, Mr. Hatfield did succeed in filling the lake. The water was within 12 centimeters of the top of the dam. Mr. Hatfield thought that he ha

55、d completed his job, so he went to collect his money from the city. However, the city of San Diego backed out of the deal. They said that the rain was an “act of God” and not the work of the rainmaker. Mr. Hatfield tried to sue the city, but he never collected any money for his work.68.What “made” the rain?A. chemicals B. a dam C. a deal D. fog69.What happened when it rained in San Diego in 1916?A. Bridges fell down. B. People died.C. The city flooded, D. All of the above.70. It rained in Sa
