【推荐2】You must still remember Typhoon(台风) Hato, Pakhar, Mawar and Hurricane(飓风) Harvey. These storms have been harming Asia and North America during the last few months in 2017. But have you ever wondered where the names of storms come from?
During World War II, US military (军队的) weathermen named hurricanes after their girlfriends or wives. It was easy to remember. So after the war, women’s names continued to be used for storms. Finally in 1979, men’s names started to be used, too.
Now, the WMO(世界气象组织) is responsible for(负责) hurricane names. They keep six lists of names, with one list used each year. This means each name will be reused every six years. So, the 2011 name list is now being used again in 2017.
However, if a storm is especially damaging (破坏巨大的), such as 2005’s Katrina, that storm’s name will not be used again.
Typhoons are the brother of hurricanes, though they happen in the Pacific Ocean instead of the Atlantic Ocean (where hurricanes usually take place).
The new naming system for typhoons has been used since 2000. The WMO asked each of its 14 members in the Asia Pacific area to hand in a list of 10 names. Members include China, Japan and South Korea.
But instead of picking human names, scientists decided to name typhoons after animals, plants, places and even food.

In Canberra, spring is from September to November. I love the spring weather here. It’s warm and sometimes rainy. There are lots of small, white flowers on the trees.
Summer in Canberra is usually dry and hot. It’s from December to February. We usually go to the beach and spend a week there. I don’t like summer, but I like the summer holidays.
Our autumn is from March to May. It’s usually sunny and dry. There are orange and brown leaves on the trees. They are beautiful. I like autumn best.
Winter in Canberra is from June to August, and it’s very cold. Some people like going to the Snowy Mountains. I don’t like going out in the cold weather. I usually stay at home. So it’s always boring for me in winter.

Heilongjiang Province, our hometown, is in the northeast of China. With the area of 454,000 km2, Heilongjiang is the largest province in the Northeast China. Russia is on the north of Heilongjiang Province. It now has 25 border cities（边界城市）, making it very easy for travelers to visit both countries.
The province has large forests. Its forests cover nearly 42% of the ground. The forest area is the largest in China. In the province, there are a lot of lakes and rivers, such as the Heilong River and the Songhua River, the Xingkai Lake and the Jingbo Lake.
The province is covered by snow and ice for one third of a year. This makes it a very nice place to visit in winter. People can do many winter activities, like skiing, skating, winter swimming and ice fishing. All these make Heilongjiang Province a wonderful place even during the coldest time of the year. Do you know that travelers may attend some festivals in Heilongjiang Province? The Ice Lantern Festival in Harbin is world-famous. If you have time in winter, you may come to Heilongjiang Province for a visit.

【推荐2】Antarctica(南极洲) is on the South Pole(南极). It is almost entirely(全部地) south of the Antarctic Circle(南极圈). Around Antarctica is the Southern Ocean(洋). Antarctica is 14, 000, 000 km2 in size. It is the fifth-largest continent(洲) in area after Asia, North America, and South America.
Antarctica is the coldest continent and has the strongest winds. The temperature in summer us usually just above 0℃. In winter, the temperature often drops below -18℃. The coldest temperature on the Earth was in Antarctica in July 1983. It was about -89℃. That's why 99% of Antarctica is covered by thick ice. In some places, Antarctica's ice is more than 4 kilometers thick.
With all that ice, it might seem surprising that Antarctica is also the driest continent. It gets less than 5 centimetres of rain and snow each year.
Because Antarctica is cold and windy, only low plants like moss(苔藓) grow on the continent. No trees grow there. Emperor penguins(帝企鹅) and leopard seals(海豹) live in the sea around the continent.
