While Reading First Snow ①Mr Robert Lynd once said of Jane Austen’s characters: “They are people in whose lives as light fall of snow is an event.” Even at the risk of appearing to this fair and witty reviewer as another Mr Woodhouse, I must insist that last night’s fall of snow here was an event. I was nearly as excited about it this morning as the children, whom I found all looking through the window at the magic outside and talking away as excitedly as if Christmas had suddenly come round again. The fact is, however, that the snow was as strange and fascinating to meas it was to them. It is the first fall we have had here this winter, and last year I was out of the country,sweating in a hot climate, during the snowy season,so that it really does seem an age since I saw the ground so fantastically carpeted. ②The first fall of snow is not only an event but it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of world and wake up to find yourself in another quite different, and if this is not magic, then where is it to be found? The very secrecy and quietness of the thing makes it more magical. ③When I got up this morning the world was a cold place of dead white and pale blues. The light that came through the windows was very strange, and it made the familiar business of splashing and shaving and brushing and dressing very strange too. Then the sun came out.and by the time I had sat down to breakfast it was shining bravely and flushing the snow with delicate pinks. The dining-room window had been transformed into a lovely Japanese print. The little plum tree outside, with the faintly flushed snow lining its branches and artfully disposed along its trunk, stood in full sunlight. ④An hour or two later everything was a cold sparkle of white and blue. The world had completely changed again. The little Japanese prints had all disappeared. I looked out of my study window, over the garden, the field, to the low hills beyond, and the ground went on and on, the sky was thick grey, and all the trees so many black and threatening shapes. There was indeed something curiously disturbing about the whole prospect. It was as if our kindly countryside, close to the very heart of England, had been turned into a cruel grassland. At any moment, it seemed, a body of horsemen might be seen breaking out from the black trees, so many weapons might be heard and some distant spot of snow be reddened. It was that kind of landscape. ⑤Now it has changed again. The glare has gone and no touch of the disturbing remains. But the snow is falling heavily, in great soft flakes, so that you can hardly see across the shallow valley, and the roofs are thick and the trees all bending, and the weathercock of the village church, still to be seen through the grey loaded air, has become some creature out of Hans Andersen. From my study, which is apart from the house and faces it, I can see the children flattening their noses against the window, and there is running through my head a rhyme I used to repeat when I was a child and flattened my nose against the cold window to watch the falling snow: Snow, snow faster: White alabaster! Killing geese in Scotland, Sending feathers here! ① What is the passage mainly about? ② How does the author’s mood/feeling change with the snow scene? Read the passage and answer the question ① What is the passage mainly about? ② How does the author’s feeling change with the snow scene?

I’m writing to share my unforgettable experience with you. Last winter, the first snow arrived quietly at night. Waking up, I found the world magically covered by a white carpet. The trees were lined with snow, sparkling in the sun. I went outside immediately, making a snowman and having snowball fights with friends. Although it was freezing, my heart was filled with warmth and joy. I sincerely invite you to come to China this winter. I’d love to show you the beauty of snow here. Yours, Li Hua Thank you for your listening $null
