Experiencing one day in London
So this was an English park. This was an English… summer I was shaking with cold! It didn’t see warm enough. Perhaps I should explain. I’m from Brisbane in Australia. But today I was visiting my family in Britain. And they were taking me out to enjoy London.
“What a fine, bright day!” my Aunt Jess said happily. I nodded and smiled politely. In Britain it’s not polite to disagree, especially about the weather. But inside I was thinking: It looks awful. Brisbane’s winter is warmer than British summer!
The day had started with the promise of sunshine. But, as our picnic went on, it turned darker. Storm clouds suddenly covered the sky. British people often describe their weather as “four seasons in one day”. But for me, one season was missing from that day: summer!
Aunt Jess said, “When I was young, the summers were much longer and sunnier. I don’t remember a single bad summer’s day in the 60s!” Weather records show that she was wrong. But again I did not disagree. My cousin Jane said, “Maybe we will have a white Christmas this year.” That would be wonderful, but I doubted (怀疑) it. After all, it has only snowed at Christmas five times in the last fifty years.
Suddenly it turned windy. A heavy rain began to fall. We ran to hide from the rain. But my “summer” dress still got very wet. As I watched the rain beating down, I began to day dream. I dreamed about long, hot summer days in Brisbane.
“Well,” said Aunt Jess, “we had a few good hours. And at least, the weather gives us something to talk about…” I smiled politely once more, but had a secret thought. Yes, let’s talk about my English relatives moving Australia!
6．What can we know from Paragraph 1
A．It is winter now in Britain.
B．The writer is having a visit in Britain.
C．The weather in Australia is the same as that in Britain.
D．The writer’s family like to live in London.

A．Because she liked the weather in Brisbane.

C．Because it is impolite to disagree about the weather in Britain.
D．Because she didn’t want to make her aunt angry.
