Now school is over. Many 【小题1】 go home happily, but Jenny doesn’t. It’s 【小题2】outside. She wants to go home when the rain stops. 【小题3】 after half an hour, it still rains. She has to go out of the classroom with her red umbrella (雨伞). She 【小题4】 at home at about 4:50 p.m. Her mother is making dinner in the kitchen. Her father is reading a 【小题5】on the sofa. “It’s so cold!” she says to her father.

“Oh, dear, 【小题6】 are you so wet?” “Because my umbrella is broken (坏了).” Jenny says sadly.

“Put on some 【小题7】 clothes,” her father says. Then she goes to her room. After a while, she goes out of her room and 【小题8】 her father working on the umbrella.

“What are you doing, Dad?” she asks. “ I’m mending (修理) your umbrella.” her father says.

“I 【小题9】 you like the umbrella very much. And you can use it【小题10】”.   

“Thank you, Dad.” Jenny is very happy.

My parents and I 【小题1】 in Sydney (悉尼) a week ago. We stayed in a hotel by the sea. It was 【小题2】 the first three days. It was hot in the day and we swam in the sea. Sometimes we sat on the 【小题3】. And we went to the movies in the evening. It rained last Thursday. It was 【小题4】 and we watched TV in our rooms. It was cloudy yesterday. We went 【小题5】 and the scenes (风景) were very 【小题6】! It’ll be sunny tomorrow and we can swim again. I hope I can spend a 【小题7】 vacation here. What’s the weather like in New York? I think it’s 【小题8】 now, because I watched it on TV. People wear warm clothes and it is happy for children to 【小题9】 in the snow. I wish you could visit Sydney one day! You will find it is a beautiful 【小题10】.

Hi! I’m Amanda. I want to introduce some 【小题1】 places in the world to you.

Verkhoyansk is in the northeast of Russia. There are about 1,430 people there. In January, the average (平均的) temperature there is -13℃ and it 【小题2】 like that from October to April. 【小题3】 lowest temperature was -32℃ in 1892. So people there usually wear warm hats and coats. They seldom stay 【小题4】 when it gets really cold.

The lowest temperature in Oymyakon, Russia, was -32℃ on February 6th, 1933. This village has a 【小题5】 of 500 to 800. It is named after a hot spring. People can get 【小题6】 water from it after they break the thick ice. People there think it is a great place for people to 【小题7】 the cold weather.

Because of its low temperature, Hell in Norway has 【小题8】 1,400 people. But more and more 【小题9】 have traveled to Hell recently. They took photos of themselves at the town’s train station. Usually people there can 【小题10】 ice anywhere during one third of a year, from December to March.
