2、       Zhang Xiaofeng, 16, had a relaxing winter vacation until a few days ago. The Senior 1 student in Jingmen , Hubei Province suddenly realized that she needed to hurry for the coming exams when the new term begins this week.

       Zhang took no final exams last term. Because of the heavy snow , rain and unusually cold temperatures ,her school announced the winter break early.

       “What a happy surprise! No reports for our parents and no worries about getting low scores,”  she said . “But the exams are put off until this term .Isn’t it a depressing (unpleasant)beginning?”

       Going back to school is hard, yet Shao Jingzhu at Changsha Yali High School in Hunan Province would rather have classes than stay home.

      “The unusually long winter vacation made me uneasy,” she said. “With a few months left before the College Entrance Examination, we Senior 3 students are eager to have teachers around for our questions”.

       During breaks between classes ,Shao discussed the worst winter weather in five decades(a decade=ten years )with her classmates.

       “I believe it was just a natural weather phenomenon（现象）. Who can tell for sure the disaster was caused by human activities? she questioned.

       But Li Cheng at Luzhou High School in Sichuan Province thought that nature was teaching humans a lesson with the strange winter snowstorms.

       She was trapped (caught ) on the way to visit her grandma for three days instead of the five hours in normal weather.

       “It warns us to pay more attention to environmental protection,” Li said.

       Teng Xiangling at Jinshi No 1 High School in Human Province agrees. As a volunteer for environmental protection, she calls on her classmates to give up on take—away boxes and to recycle used papers.

       “Such a natural disaster may take place more frequently (often) if we care little about our daily behavior,” Teng said.
