I do not need a calendar to tell me when it is winter. All I need is my nose. When I wake up in the morning and smell the tasty treats my mom is cooking downstairs, I know winter has arrived.
The first one is the smell of chocolate. During the holiday season (from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day) my mother makes her special hot chocolate. She always adds a peppermint candy cane (薄荷味拐棍糖) to the drink and tops it with cream.
The hot chocolate gets me out of bed, but it is my mother’s chocolate fudge (软糕) that makes me run downstairs. It is a thick chunk (块) of chocolate that tastes like heaven. My mother adds nuts. That gives it more texture (质感).
But my mother isn’t done yet. She also makes a treat she calls “window panes (窗玻璃)”. She takes a few different colored marshmallows (棉花糖) and melts them together with chocolate. The final product looks like a colorful church window, so we call it “window panes”.
These tasty holiday treats are usually eaten after a meal as a dessert. But don’t tell Santa Claus because I secretly eat them all day long.

     A LONG time ago, there was a big apple tree. A little boy liked playing around it every day.
     As the little boy grew up, he no longer played around the tree.? One day the boy came back to the
  tree. He looked sad.
     "What's troubling you?" asked the tree.
     The boy replied (回答): "I want my own house. I need money to buy it."
     "You can pick my apples and sell them. Then you will have money."
     The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.
     A few years later, the boy returned. He told the tree that he wanted to go sailing around the world."Use
  my branches (树干) to build your boat. You can sail far and be happy." So the boy cut the tree branch to
  make a boat. He went sailing and didn't return for a long, long time.
     Many years later, the boy returned. "Sorry, but I don't have anything for you anymore," the tree said,
 crying.
     "All I need is a place to rest. I am tired after my travels."
     The tree replied: "Good! Old tree roots are the best place to rest." The boy sat down and the tree was
  glad.
