He lived from 773 to 819. During his life, he had many ups and downs. He was once a government official, but he faced a lot of difficulties and was even sent to a faraway place. His life was not easy, but he still loved nature and wrote many beautiful poems. In this poem, Liu Zongyuan paints a picture of a cold winter day. There are no birds flying from hill to hill. There are no people walking on the paths. Everything seems quiet and lonely. But in the middle of this snowy world, there is a man. He is wearing a straw cloak (蓑衣) and he is fishing on the river. This man is like the poet himself. He is alone, but he is not afraid of the cold and the loneliness. He is enjoying the beauty of nature. The way Liu Zongyuan writes this poem is very special. He uses simple words, but they create a strong image in our minds. He doesn't say much, but we can feel the cold, the quietness and the beauty of the snow. He also uses contrast. The big, empty world and the small, lonely man make us think more about life and nature. This poem shows us the poet's feelings. He is sad and lonely, but he also finds peace and beauty in nature. Even when life is hard, we can still find something good and enjoy it. Many people have loved this poem for hundreds of years. It teaches us to be strong and to love nature.

Once the firemen arrive, they can double-check to see if the fire has been completely put out. (3) Operate the extinguisher It can be difficult to think clearly during a fire.

Still, spring break is usually a whole week off from schools in the US, so students make use of this time. Always taking place in March or April, spring break is a period when US students often take part in different kinds of activities. North Carolina, the state where I live, has some of the best hiking trails in the US and is home to many sunny beaches. My family takes spring break as an opportunity to do outdoor activities. During this time, we head outside to explore new hiking destinations(目的地) nearby, connecting with nature and enjoying exciting experiences. Those who are not outdoorsy pick a more relaxing spring break experience. Going to nearby beaches, shopping and attending local events become common activities for those who prefer to stay closer to home. Though students don't usually have homework over spring break, many upperclassmen still have busy schedules as they want to focus on personal growth. Students can often be seen taking this time to catch up with schoolwork and prepare for the last days of the school year. Students see spring break as a chance to relax before the busy school time begins again. Whether enjoying the natural beauty of hiking trails or focusing on personal growth, students make the most of this time. 1.

When does spring break take place? _______________________________________________________________________________ 3.

Nature is like both our mother and our good friend. It provides us with the food we eat,the clean water we drink, and the fresh air we breathe. We cannot live without it. But we haven't been so kind or friendly to her. We produce so much pollution that the air and water are getting dirtier and dirtier. We cut down trees to grow crops, and it makes the birds have nowhere to live. We kill animals for food or clothes, so some animals are in great danger. I plan to protect nature in my own way. I' ll take shorter showers to save water. I' ll never buy clothes made from rare animals. And I' ll encourage my family and friends to recycle. Small actions can make a great difference. Let's protect nature together. Thank you! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
