Near the North Pole(北极)there are only two seasons：winter and summer．In winter，nights are long．For more than two months you can’t see the sun，even at noon．In summer，days are long．For more than two months the sun never sets and there is no night at a11．The temperature(温度)is very low near the North Pole．Even in summer the temperature is below 0℃．So people there wear warm clothes all year round．They make their clothing from the skins of animals．From the skins they also make coats，hats and even boots．
In the cold climate，plants cannot grow．So the people have to build their houses with skins，earth，stone or snow．When they go out to hunt something，they live in tents of skins．When they move，they take their tents with them．Sometimes，they build houses of snow．Now don’t think that these houses must be cold．In fact，they are very warm and safe．
The life near the North Pole is very interesting．

June, July and August are the winter months; September, October and November are spring; the summer is in December, January and February; and March, April and May are the autumn months. The north of the country is hotter than the south.
A very large part of this country has no rain at all. The east coast has rain all year, and there are no dry months. The southeast winds blow the whole year. They bring rain from the sea.
