Look at the light and beautiful snowflakes (雪花) falling. Ever wanted to hold them in your hands They are always lost when they meet your hands. Well, this isn’t just a problem for you. It was a problem for Wilson Bentley, too.
In the 1870s, Wilson Bentley was just a teenager. His family lived in a small town in the northeastern United States. Winters there were long and hard. Bentley’s mother was once a school teacher. She taught him at home. Bentley didn’t go to school until he was 14. He was a quiet boy, and loved reading his mother’s books.

二、任务型阅读
Americans love cars. They go everywhere in them. 85% of people in the US go to and from work by car. And most adults have driving licences. Why does this car culture exist
How it started
Americans’ love of cars started after the war when soldiers returned home from World War II to rebuild their lives. They borrowed money from the government to buy houses and cars which became the symbols of status. The more money they had, the bigger their cars were.
Making of roads
During the war, President Eisenhower noticed the good roads Germany had. He decided to build new four-lane (四车道) roads in America. He said if something happened suddenly, the two-lane roads wouldn’t be able to carry all the cars that would suddenly leave the cities. Car and oil companies liked his idea and the work started.
Car lovers
Not just teenagers are crazy about cars. Some American adults love their cars so much that they paint their cars beautifully! These are called Art Cars. Every April there is an activity in Houston, Texas, where they show their cars. Pollution
Cars have polluted the environment. American President Bush refused a worldwide law that is against pollution. Many countries were angry about it. Bush said he had to think of the American economy and all the American people that make money from cars. Factories say they want to make cars that pollute less. But others say making cars that pollute less will never be as good as having fewer cars.

The other day，I went back to Red Star Primary School. I studied there two years ago. When I got there，I was shocked.
In the past，there were only several small old houses. The windows were broken and it was very cold in winter. There was lots of grass around the houses. Only families in a nearby town sent their children to the school.
Now，great changes have taken place in my school. Old houses have gone. Some tall modem buildings have been built by the river. Beautiful flowers and all kinds of trees are around the buildings. You can see students studying，playing and exercising here and there.
I believe my school will become better and better. I love my school forever.
