English weather,

Everybody talks about the weather in England and this is not surprising. It changes from minute to minute, so it's always interesting. Someone once wisely remarked (評(píng)論) that other countries have a climate, but England just has weather!Gretel was amused by all this talk at first, but she has got used to it now.

Last week Gretel really understood why everyone is so concerned (關(guān)注) about the weather: you can never be certain what's going to happen. Though it was spring, there was a very heavy snowfall. As usual, no one expected it. The pipes in many houses were frozen; trains failed to run; cars went shrunk; there were many accidents on the roads; lots of people slipped on the icy pavements and got hurt; the weather forecast was very bad. Everyone complained gloomily (沮喪地) , “What awful weather we're having!Haven't seen anything like it!” and so on. And then, suddenly, the sun came out, the snow melted and it was spring again.

“Typical (典型的)!Just typical!” Gretel remarked.

“From the way you talk about the weather, Gretel,” Mr Clark said, “anyone would think you were English.”

How do students spend their spare time after finishing their homework? Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Here’s a good example.

Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven-year-old Amy and nine-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.

The Meek couple didn’t want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch tomatoes”. So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted(許可,允許) . Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr. and Mrs. Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage(鼓勵(lì)) their daughters. It turns out that the two sisters really had a good time joining in activities.

Every holiday and weekend, whether it’s sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks would set off to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing , skiing, and so on. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. “Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily, we’ve had the chance to experience(體驗(yàn)) something different.” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.

1.Why did the Meeks become the focus of the UK?

2.Why did the Meek couple set 100 tasks for their daughter to do outside?

3.When did the Meeks go out to do the activities?

4.What are the outdoor activities

5.What do you think of the Meek couple’s idea of relaxing?
