Many children love to play with snow in winter. But Long Chuan has come to hate it.

This year his hometown suffered from snowstorms (遭受暴風(fēng)雪) for nearly a month. The heavy snow stopped cars and trains,broke the electricity tower and turned tap water to ice.

Every day Long Chuan had to walk several kilometers to carry drinking water. " I couldn't ride a bike,and it took me 3 hours to walk to school. I can't remember how many times I slipped (滑倒) on the hard ice”， said Long Chuan.

Long is not alone. This year millions of people in central and southern China had a freezing winter without enough water and electricity. The biggest snowstorms in 50 years killed more than 100 people. They also cost the country 111. 1 billion yuan.

Experts (專家) say a special type of climate condition (氣候條件) ，La Nina,caused the storms. During a La Nina,the water in the Pacific Ocean (太平洋) near the equator (赤道) becomes colder than usual. It changes the weather around the world.

Besides China,Canada,the US and the Middle Eastern countries also met with heavy snowstorms this winter. The special climate caused the recent flooding (洪水) in Australia,too.

Moreover,experts say that people have destroyed the environment (環(huán)境) .Global warming (全球變暖) may be causing these terrible weather events to happen more and more often.

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up,my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together,my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the mountain. ” Without the mountainclimbing that we both enjoyed,we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountainclimbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力) .

Only there at the top,can you see all of the nice things,just like in life.”

At that time,I was too young to understand his words completely. But I still got new hope and confidence (信心) from him. Now I'm at the top of the mountain,and can really enjoy the sky,which was as clear as crystal (水晶) .
