14．　　There are four seasons in a year in China. Spring comes in February. May, June and July make the summer season. August, September and October are the autumn months. Winter is from November to January.
　　But near the North Pole (北极) there are only two seasons. They are winter and summer. In winter, nights are long. For more than two months, you can't see the sun, even at noon. In summer, the days are long. For more than two months, the sun never goes down and there is no night.
　　The people living near the North Pole are called Inuit (因纽特人). In summer, they live in tents (帐篷) and catch deer for food. In winter, they live in small round snow houses. They travel around by using dogs to carry their things. They make holes in the ice and catch fish and seals (海豹).

15．　　I work as a volunteer for the poor in Haiti (海地). I decided (决定) to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate (教育) him.
　　Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and smiled, "Really hard."
　　After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said regretfully (遗憾地), "I wish I could speak French." I was surprised that this was from a boy. He always hated French classes.
　　One day, I was interviewing (采访) a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write and became part of the leadership (领导层) of the village. That really touched my heart.
　　Learning her story, Brain was greatly touched. His eyes were wet and there was love and respect (尊重) on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brain even offered (提出) to stay in as a volunteer. This trip was very meaningful (有意义的).

　　The food in Britain is very different from our Chinese food. For example (例如), they eat a lot of potatoes. They like to eat them every day. They usually eat bread for breakfast. They eat their bread with butter, cheese or jam (果酱), and those are things we don't eat much in China. Cheese and butter are made from (由…制成) milk. They drink a lot of milk, too. They drink cold or hot milk, and they put it in their tea. They put sugar in their tea as well. They may be the world's biggest tea drinkers. They like Chinese tea, but they drink mostly strong black tea from India and Sri Lanka. They don't eat much rice for their main meal (主餐), they like meat or fish with potatoes and some vegetables. They eat all these together. After the main meal, they always have something sweet. They call it dessert (甜点) They don't eat dumplings in Britain.
