Question

【题目】 One afternoon of a cold winter day, the sun came out after a long snowstorm. Two children have stayed in the house for the whole day, so they asked their mother if they could run out and play in the snow in their garden. The elder child was a little beautiful girl, called Violet. Her brother was Peony. He has a round little face, which made everybody think of sunshine. The father of these two children, Mr. Lindsey, was an excellent man who ran his own business in hardware (五金). With a heart about as soft as other people's, he had a head as hard and empty as one of the iron pots (锅) which was a part of his business to sell. The mother, on the other hand, was a beauty. She looked young. She was like a fine flower. The flower had something from her younger life, and still kept itself alive in her motherhood.

So, Violet and Peony, asked their mother to let them run out and play in the new snow. The snow looked so lonely falling down from the gray sky. It had a very cheerful part anyway. That was the sun was shining on it. The children who lived in a city had no wider place to play. They had to play in a little garden before the house.

The garden was divided by a white fence from the street and overshadowed (笼罩) by a pear tree and two or three apple trees. Some rose bushes were in front of the windows of the living room. The trees, however, were now leafless, and their twigs (枝条) were covered in the light snow. This made a kind of wintry leaves.
