Nature’s temper is not fixed; it changes with the seasons and weather. Sometimes it is gentle, bringing warm sunshine and soft wind, making all living things grow happily. Sometimes it is fierce, with heavy rain, strong wind and thunder, showing its great power.
Spring is a time when nature is gentle. The sun shines warmly, and the wind blows softly. Flowers bloom, and trees turn green. All living things wake up from their winter sleep, enjoying the gentle touch of nature. People like to go out for walks, feeling the beauty of spring.
Summer often brings nature’s fierce side. Sudden rainstorms are common, with strong wind and lightning. The temperature rises high, and sometimes there are heatwaves. These changes are nature’s way of balancing the environment, helping plants grow better and cleaning the air.
Autumn is gentle again, with cool wind and clear sky. Leaves turn yellow and fall, and fruits ripen. Winter is cold and quiet, with snow covering the ground. Nature seems to fall asleep, preparing for the new life in spring.
Understanding nature’s changing temper helps us live in harmony with it. We should respect every change and protect nature, so that it can keep bringing us beauty and life.

The Johnson family developed a high-tech chore system combining Unit 3’s “chores negotiation” with Unit 7’s geography knowledge. Their digital chore chart automatically assigns tasks based on weather data from Mount Everest monitoring stations.
When sensors detect rainfall in the Himalayas (where Qomolangma is located), 14-year-old Tom’s phone gets a notification: “Himalayan rain → possible local afternoon showers → water plants after lunch.” Meanwhile, his sister Lucy’s schedule adjusts when air pressure drops: “High mountain low pressure → indoor chores → vacuum living room.”
Father Mr. Johnson commented, “This teaches responsibility while connecting daily tasks to global environments.” The family’s efficiency improved by 60%, with chore completion rates reaching 95%.
25．What determines chore assignments

On March 11, 2011, a terrible earthquake hit Japan. It was one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded. The earthquake happened under the sea, so it also caused a huge tsunami (海啸).
When the earthquake started, Yuki was at school. She was in her classroom with her classmates. Their teacher immediately told everyone to get under their desks. “Drop, cover, and hold on!” the teacher shouted. Yuki felt scared, but she did as she was told. The shaking lasted for about six minutes. It felt like a very long time.
After the shaking stopped, the teacher led everyone to the playground. That’s when they heard the warning on the loudspeaker: “Tsunami is coming! Move to the higher ground!” The school was near the coast, so they had to act fast. Yuki and her classmates ran up the hill behind their school. They could hear the sirens (警报) warning all around them.
From the hill, Yuki looked back and saw something she would never forget. A huge wall of water was coming toward the town. It washed away cars, houses, and everything in its path. Yuki cried when she saw her neighborhood disappear under the water.

①Hail (冰雹) is a form of precipitation (降水形式) — like rain or snow that is made up of ice.Hailstorms may happen all year. Hail can even form in summer as long as the storms are strong.
② Hailstorms often visit the United States. The area where Nebraska Colorado and Wyoming meet is known as “Hail Alley” and suffers seven to nine hail days every year. It’s hard to tell exactly when a hailstorm might come.
③ Hailstorms are very dangerous. They can cause lots of damage (破坏) to people, buildings, cars, plants and animals. In fact, hailstorms can even cause deaths. For example, a hailstorm killed more than 1,000 English soldiers in 1360. So we should know how to stay safe during it.
④ One way to protect yourself from a hailstorm is to have your tools prepared throughout the year, and one of them must be helmets. They can help you save your head from both the hail itself and other things brought by the heavy storm. You should also make a plan for your family so that you all know where to go for safety.
⑤ What’s more, make sure you stay inside until the hail stops and stay away from windows. If possible,find a room at least one level down from the top of the house. Finally, if you get caught outside in a hailstorm and can’t find a house to stay in, find something to protect your head. Remember: stay out of lowland areas, because they could be filled with water. And don’t forget to avoid trees.

Standing on the top of a sand dune (沙丘), Abdulkarem from Yemen looked down at a man-made forest. He was on a trip with about 30 international students from Ningxia Medical University to visit Bajitan in Ningxia, China. Abdulkarem and his schoolmates were told that the 60-kilometer-long and 30-kilometer-wide forest can help stop the sand from the Mu Us Desert.
However, in the 1950s, the green space was once a desert. So how did all this happen Over the past 70 years, people have planted a large number of trees to stop the Mu Us Desert from becoming larger. “It’s hard to believe,” Abdulkarem said. “My country also needs to protect people from the danger of deserts, and I see a great example here.” The students learned how to make a straw checkerboard (稻草棋盘), a method of stopping sand from moving.“It’s really difficult,” Abdulkarem said. “Controlling desertification (沙漠化) takes a lot of time and energy. I’m deeply encouraged by the spirit.”
The students also visited the Museum of Bajitan. It records the history of how people fight desertification. “I have learned a lot from this trip. I see the great work China has done to protect our planet, and other countries should learn from China.” said Davis from India.

In December, 2025, a terrible tsunami hit Japan. There was a huge earthquake under the sea. Huge waves rushed towards the land. They caused serious damage (损害), and many families lost their homes.
Japan is not the only country that has experienced a large tsunami. In 2004, there was a big earthquake under the Indian Ocean. The tsunami reached many countries, such as Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
In Sri Lanka, something interesting happened before the tsunami arrived. Just before the big waves came, many animals started to run away. Elephants were very nervous and tried to get far from the sea. Flamingos flew off together and left the area. But the tsunami was a big shock to humans — no one knew it was coming. So how did the animals know about it earlier than people did
In Japan, some people are trying a new animal warning system (系统). Many believe that animals, such as dogs or chickens, become nervous before an earthquake. In Susaki, a small town in Japan, people check how their pets behave. If they notice that their cat or dog looks worried, they can call a special phone number.
