People often think of the North Pole(北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.

The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30℉.

Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.

There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.

People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.

Do you want to know any funny stories about Halloween? Let me tell you.

Long ago, people thought black cats were symbols of bad luck. In the Dark Ages (欧洲中世纪) witches were very common. And they had evil magic power. When they went out, they would take cats with them. So people believed that black cats meant bad luck. However, nowadays, in most parts of the UK, people think it’s actually good luck for a b lack cat to cross your path. Fortunately, through centuries, those poor little things probably don’t even care about it.

The tradition of the Jack o’ Lantern comes from a story about a boy called Jack. He made the devil angry, so he had to live forever in the hell. But he didn’t give up. He tried to use the turnip (萝卜) to make a lantern and guide himself out of the hell.

People believe that, on Halloween, the gap between our world and the ghost world is thinnest, so the ghosts of the dead could mingle(混合) with the living. In order to fool them and make them believe we’re one of them, we put on all kinds of scary costumes. So the ghosts won’t take our souls away, and we can protect ourselves. But nowadays, “Trick or treat” is a modern custom and children lik e it very much. They will dress up in costumes and go from house to house to ask for treats like candies or toys.
