Passage 1
It was a beautiful spring morning. There were no clouds in the sky, and the sun is warm but not hot. Mr. Black saw an old man at the bus stop with a big, strong, black umbrella in his hand.
Mr. Black said to him , “Do you think we are going to have rain today?’ “No,” said the old man, “I don’t think so.” “Then are you carrying the umbrella because the sun is too hot?’ “No, the sun is not very hot in spring.” Mr. Black looked at the big umbrella again, and then the man said “I am an old man, and my legs are not very strong(强壮). I must have a walking-stick(拐杖). But people will say, ‘Look! That man is so old!’ I don’t like that, so I carry an umbrella every day.”

Passage 2
In England, people often talk about the weather because they can have four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later, clouds come out and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, and it will be summer.
In England, you can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter you can swim sometimes, and in summer you should(应该，将要) sometimes take warm clothes.
