Winter is the last season of a year. It always snows in winter. Trees and flowers stop growing and birds fly to the south to find warm and sunny days. Spring days are always windy and bright. It is a perfect time to fly kites. Bees and butterflies play happily among flowers, hiding from the April showers from time to time. Summer days always bring people sweet memories. Resting by quiet streams and under the shade of trees, people eat ice cream to feel cool. In autumn, leaves turn brown and fall into piles on the ground. Farmers are busy harvesting crops. As the temperature drops, snowy season will soon come. If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

答案： 1. snows
2. warm
3. windy
4. hiding
5. showers
6. memories
7. shade
8. on
9. harvesting
10. temperature

二、微写作 Which place do you like better: a place that is like spring all year round, or one with four very different seasons? Why? (Write 5-8 sentences)______I prefer a place with four very different seasons. Firstly, the changing seasons bring a variety of weather conditions and natural scenery, which makes life more interesting. In spring, everything comes back to life, and the world is full of vitality. Summer is hot, but it's a good time for swimming and enjoying ice-cream. Autumn is cool and the leaves turn yellow, which is very beautiful. Winter is cold, but we can make snowmen and have snowball fights. Each season has its own charm, and I enjoy experiencing these different changes throughout the year.
