知性英语－Snow, the Beautiful Snow（在线收听）

 
　　Have you ever seen snow? A lot of people in the world have not. A lot of countries never have snow, or they have it only on the tops of very high mountains. In Scotland and in the north of England, there is quite a lot of snow every winter, but in the south of England there is usually little snow.

　　When a student from a warm country comes to Britain in the autumn for the first time, he feels cold at first, There are often dark clouds, gray skies and cold rain in Britain in autumn.

　　But snow is different. Though it is very cold, it is also very beautiful. Perhaps, after several dark mornings, the student wakes up one day and there is a lot of light in his room. He thinks," It must be late." and gets up quickly. But no, it is not late at all. He looks out of the window and there is the snow on the ground, on the trees, on the roofs of the houses, and everywhere. The light in his room comes from that clean, beautiful snow.
