Look at the light and beautiful snowflakes (雪花) falling. Ever wanted to hold them in your hands? They are always lost when they meet your hands.
Well, this isn’t just a problem for you. It was a problem for Wilson Bentley, too.
In the 1870s, Wilson Bentley was just a teenager. His family lived in a small town in northeast America. Winters there were long and hard. Bentley’s mother was once a school teacher. She taught him at home.Bentley didn’t go to school until he was 14. He was a quiet boy, and loved r eading his mother’s books.
But it was his mother’s microscope (显微镜) that interested him. When the other boys were playing with balls, little Bentley was studying things like drops of water, flowers and snowflakes. Bentley loved watching snowflakes. For the next two years young Bentley spent many winter days in a cold room watching these ice crystals (晶体) under his microscope.
The boy thought they were so beautiful that he started to draw pictures of them. But there were so many snowflakes that he couldn’t draw them all.
How could he keep their beauty forever? Bentley thought of buying a camera.
The boy and his mother asked his father to buy one. But, his father didn’t agree. He thought the whole thing was a bad idea. He thought the only thing a farmer should do was farming.
But finally Bentley did get a camera. For more than a year he tried to take pictures of snowflakes. On January 15, 1885, during a snowstorm, Bentley took the first ever photo of an ice crystal with his camera. “It was the greatest moment of my life,” Bentley said later.
For 13 years, Bentley worked quietly and took thousands of photos of ice crystals. Later he became known as “Snowflake” Bentley.

If you don’t keep yourself warm enough, winter can be a time of illness.
During the winter months, people easily get colds and flu (流感). Many think they are the same, but these two illnesses are different.

In winter, many animals like to sleep, too. But their sleeps can be very long and deep. This kind of sleep is called hibernation (冬眠). During this kind of sleep, their temperatures go down, and hearts beat (跳动) slowly. They take very small breaths.
Animals can hibernate for part or all of the winter. It’s hard for them to find things to eat. When they go to sleep, they don’t need much food.

Bears are the biggest animals that hibernate. They often sleep in caves (山洞). Bears must eat a lot of things like nuts before going to sleep for a long time. They eat as much as 300 apples ( that’s the same as 60 hamburgers) each day for many weeks. They can eat for 20 hours in a day! Bears can go into a very deep sleep.

泰姬陵是一座白色大理石建成的巨大陵墓清真寺，是莫卧儿皇帝沙贾汗为纪念他心爱的妃子于1631年至1648年在阿格拉而建的。泰姬陵是印度穆斯林艺术最完美的瑰宝，是世界遗产中令世人赞叹的经典杰作之一。
建于1632年至1654年的泰姬陵表达了一个国王对他亲爱的妻子无与伦比和刻骨铭心的纪念。
1631年莫卧儿人皇帝的妻子在分娩第十四个孩子时难产去世。她当时36岁，已结婚18年，对她的丈夫沙贾汗来说失去的不但是亲爱的妻子，而且还是一个精明的顾问。据说他穿了两年丧服（据另一记载，他的头发因悲伤而变白了）。他发誓要建一个配得上他妻子的、无可比拟的陵墓，以纪念他的妻子。没有人能否认他的成功。阿米曼达班奴，或者叫墨姆塔兹马哈尔（意即“被选中的宫殿”）里有一个令人惊叹的建筑物，作为对她的纪念，上面刻着她名字的缩写：泰姬·玛哈尔。由于用了太多的最高级赞美词来描绘这个建筑，因此大多数去参观的人走近它时害怕他们将会失望。
从数不清的照片中使人非常熟悉的泰姬陵的外形被作为饭店的
标志、酸辣酱和调味品的商标，实际上它被用在随便什么地方，人们看到立刻就想到是印度的地方。尽管如此，很少有人看了泰姬陵感到失望的。
泰姬陵百看不厌，它仍旧能使人惊讶。它在一天里不同的时间和不同的自然光线中显现出不同的特色。虽然它是一座陵墓，可它却没有通常陵墓所有的冷寂。相反你感到它似乎在天地之间浮动。它的和谐对称、花园和水中倒影融合在一起创造了令无数参观者惊叹不已的奇迹。估计有2万名工匠参与了泰姬陵的建造，历时22年才完成。据说一位法国人和一位威尼斯人参与了工程的部分工作。至今没有一位建筑师被记录肯定参与了陵墓的建造——这对这个
建筑物是很适宜的，因为建造它的本意在于让人们只记住在陵墓里的人。
泰姬陵是用从322公里外的采石场运来的大理石造的，但它却不是有些照片里的那种纯白色建筑。成千上万的宝石和半宝石镶嵌在大理石在表面，陵墓上的文字是用黑色大理石做的。从一道雕花的大理石围栏上可以看到出色的手艺。阳光照射在围栏上时，它投下变化纷呈的影子。从前曾有银制的门，里面有金制栏杆和一大块用珍珠穿成的布盖在皇后的衣冠冢上（它的位置在实际埋葬地之上）。窃贼们偷去了这些珍贵的东西，许多人曾企图挖取镶嵌在大理石栏上的宝石，但泰姬陵的雄伟壮丽仍使人为之倾倒。
泰姬陵坐落在一个风景区内，庄严雄伟的门道象征着天堂的入口，上方有拱形圆顶的亭阁。原先这儿曾有一扇纯银的门，上面镶嵌着几百个银钉。这些东西都已被劫走，现在的门是铜制的。
关于沙贾汗想在朱木拿河的另一边为自己建一座同样的黑色大
理石陵墓的传说似乎没有太多的真实性。他的儿子奥郎则布于1658年宣布为帝，并把他的父亲软禁在阿格拉一个城堡内达9年之久，一直到他去世。沙贾汗能从城堡远远眺望泰姬陵。后来他也被葬在泰姬陵。
泰姬陵代表了莫卧儿建筑成就的高峰。这种风格的陵墓竖立在一个底座上，上面饰有光塔，人们对它怀有和对清真寺同样的崇敬的心情。这种风格的纪念陵墓在印度北部发展并随之消失。
候迈因在德里的陵墓于1564年动工，它是泰姬陵的雏形，牢固、威严而不是精致、黄雅。17世纪70年代奥朗则布在奥芝加巴德为他的妻子仿造了一座泰姬陵，可是它没有泰姬陵的魅力与和谐。德里的另一陵墓赛夫达贾之墓于1753年动工，被称为是“莫臣儿建筑最后的闪光”，然而它可不是一座人们尽力设法要运河看的建筑物。这些纪念陵墓都有一个标准的模式——一个大的洋葱形状的拱顶、水道、分成四部分的花有泰姬陵的建造者把这些东西融化在一起，创造出一座无与伦比的建筑。与孟加拉的总督威廉·本廷克爵士策划的阴谋相比，泰姬陵内珍贵财宝的失窃可谓微不足道。19世纪30年代，他谋划拆除当时疏于管理、杂草丛生的泰姬陵，把大理石运往伦敦出售。只是因为从德里红堡上拆下的大理石找不到买主，这个计划才作罢。后来，在1900年当了印度总督的柯曾重新修复了泰姬陵。
9.毫无疑问，泰姬陵是世界上完美艺术的典范。基本上由大理石建
成的建筑毫无瑕庇，月光之下的泰姬陵更给人一种恍若仙境的感觉。她不仅表达了沙贾汗对爱妻的深切纪念，也是他给人类的一份厚礼。
