2 . The United States has many different kinds of climate（气候）. On the west coast（海岸）, the temperature changes very little between summer and winter, but the north central states（中部各州）have a very different kind of climate. In these states, people wear light clothes during the summer, and they need heavy wool or fur clothes in winter.
In the southwest, the climate is quite warm during the winter, but hot in summer. In the eastern part of the United States, summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures. Summers are usually hot, and winters are usually cold. Spring temperatures are comfortably warm, and autumn temperatures are quite cool.
Years ago, people in the cold areas（地区）of the United States did not often get vegetables and fresh fruits during the winter. Today trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the United States. In this way, Americans “send their climate” to people in other states.

10 . For a long time, “made in China” made people think of cheap, low-quality（质量）goods. China was just the world’s factory. But now Chinese brands（品牌）are going global and being recognized.
Time magazine recently published a list of the 100 most influential（有影响力的）companies in the world. Several Chinese companies were included, such as tech giants Alibaba, Huawei, Tencent, DJI, TikTok and DiDi Chuxing.
These companies are improving the world with modern technology. Time reported that DJI holds 70 percent of the global drone（无人机）market. This year, it launched（发行）a new drone with a set of glasses that give users a first-person view of their drone’s flight. TikTok has become one of the most popular apps in the US with its never-ending stream of videos. Some 50 million US users spend about 46 minutes on it every day.
Chinese fashion has also interested global shoppers. In 2011, Chinese sneaker brands Feiyue, Huili and Li-Ning got international attention. More recently, Shein has become one of the most popular Chinese fast fashion brands in the foreign market. In 2020, its operating income（营收）reached over 10 billion dollars, an increase of 100 percent, Global Times reported. Many European shoppers say Shein is affordable, fashionable and of high quality.
In the future, Chinese brands will continue to develop. Thanks to a bigger market, improved supply chains（供应链）and efficient manufacturing（高效生产）. “This is the best era for the development of local brands,” Yan Qiang, a partner with Beijing-based Hejun Consulting, told Global Times.
