The city we live in is really beautiful. In winter it often snows and you can see the snow in the streets and on the houses. When the temperature（气温）is lower than thirty-five degrees（度数）below zero we don’t go to school but stay at home. It is very, very cold! Sometimes there are heavy snowstorms and you can’t see anything. There are often very cold winds and it is difficult to stay in the streets for a long time. That’s why we wear warm coats, hats and scarves not to freeze（冻结）.
I like winter when the weather isn’t very cold. Then we go outdoors, make snowmen, play snowballs, skate or ski. But sometimes I hope to live in a warm country.

Have you ever asked yourself this question, “Which books I need to read? Fiction or Non-Fiction?” To help you answer this question, I would like to explain the differences between the two kinds of books.
A fiction book is something not happened in real life. It can be a novel, a fairy tale, a short story or a play. Fiction writers are usually good at imagining. For example, they always try to tell you something through a story; they make readers think about their ideas. They usually write about love, family or life in their books. When you read fiction, you see the world through a character’s eyes. Looking at the world from a different way helps you get opinions about things around you.
Non-fiction books usually talk about a truth or an opinion about real things. It mainly includes informational books, biographies (传记), research, or history. Non-fiction helps readers get knowledge (知识) about the world. This knowledge is helpful for reading fiction books. Also, reading non-fiction helps readers understand problems and find ways to solve them. You can also learn useful lessons from successful people in the book.
①Reading is a very good habit. ②Both kinds of books help you learn more about yourself and the world. They bring you a lot of happiness.
1. What do fiction writers usually write about in their books?2. What else can we know from the passage?
3. Which books do you want to read, fiction books or non-fiction books? Give your reasons.
