阅读材料：Four seasons
Part 1
We have four seasons in a year. They are: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Spring is the loveliest season in the year. In this season, flowers bloom and
birds
sing. The world is full of life. The weather is warm and the swallows begin to
come
back to live with us again. Poets describe spring as s season full of hope.
Summer is the welcomest season to schoolchildren. They have a long summer vacation. They may go to swim and play. They can go to seaside or go camping in the
mountains.
Autumn is a good season for picnics and games. In this season, leaves begin to
fall and flowers begin to wither away. This is why some people say that autumn is
a
season of sadness and loneliness, but I don't think it is true. It is the
season for
harvests. The world is full of laughing and singing.
Winter is cold. In some northern countries, snow begins to fall and most
people
have to stay indoors. But in tropical countries the weather is still warm and the people
go out of doors as usual. Winter is the season draws near the new year. When winter
slowly passes, a new year will be born.

Part 3
Spring is green. Do you know why? It is because when spring is here, the plants and the trees sprout(发芽) new leaves and turn green. The flowers start to
blossom(开
花). It is so beautiful and green everywhere.
Summer is bright. Can you guess the reason? It is because when summer arrives, the sun is shining. For the very strong sunlight, everything is bright. How
beautiful
and bright it is!
Autumn is golden. Why is this? It's because when autumn comes, the wind blows through the golden trees and carries the golden leaves away, flowing slowly down
to
the ground one after another and thickly covering the ground. It is golden everywhere.
Winter is white. Why? It's because when winter reaches us, the white snowflakes(雪花) fly slowly down, so pure and white. The wide fields and the great high mountains all wear white coats.
Oh! The four seasons are all beautiful and charming( 迷人的). I like spring, summer, autumn and winter, but spring, the best! For spring is full of life.
Part 4
There are four seasons in a year. They are spring, summer, autumn and winter.
When spring comes, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The crops begin to grow, trees turn green and flowers come out. Some animals wake up from hibernation. It is the best season of the year.
Summer is the hottest of all the seasons. The sunshine is much stronger. It's a season for swimming.
In autumn, it's neither too hot nor too cold. It's harvest-time. Farmers are busy getting in the crops.
Winter is the coldest season. Some of the animals have to go to hibernation and
others still live an active life(过着快活的生活). Sometimes it snows. People can enjoy themselves in skating.
