There is a special “line”in China——the Qinling-Huaihe Line（秦淮线）. 16 It divides（划分）China into two parts：the northern part, known as northern China,and the southern part, known as southern China. There are great differences in weather between the two parts. Let's have a look!
17 In northern China，the coldest month often comes in January.Temperatures in some provinces can drop to as low as -30°C, while the southern most cities enjoy temperatures of around 20°C——even in January. Many northern Chinese like spending winter holidays in the southern cities, mostly around Sanya.
During the winter months, the northern provinces experience cold weather for a long time.The ground freezes（冰冻）. 18 It's like a fairy tale world（童话世界）from movies. People often build snowmen and have snowball fights（打雪仗）to enjoy the happiness of winter. 19 Snow seldom falls, and the rivers do not freeze.
20 People often wear hats,scarves，down jackets（羽绒服）and gloves outside. But when they return home, they only need a T-shirt. In southern China,however, people don't enjoy heating. They often use air conditioners or electric heaters（空调或者电暖气）to keep themselves warm during winter.
Some places are covered in snow. It runs from the Qinling Mountains in the west to the Huai River in the east. Heating（供暖）is important for northern Chinese. But in southern China, temperature seldom falls below 0°C. In general, northern China has a cold and dry winter, while southern China is known for its cold， humid（潮湿的）weather in winter. It’s very interesting to live in northern China.

But do you really know pumpkins Here are five things you may not know about pumpkins.
Pumpkins are not vegetables.They may not be juicy like an apple, but since pumpkins grow from a flowering plant,they are actually a kind of fruit from the squash or gourd（葫芦）family.
Pumpkins aren't always yellow or orange.While known for their deep orange or yellow colour, they can also be green,red, white and blue. The reason why many pumpkins are orange is that they have carotenoids（类胡萝卜素），the same thing that gives carrots their orange colour.
There are many kinds of pumpkins.You may only see two or three different kinds of pumpkins in the supermarket, but there are about 45 kinds of pumpkins grown all over the world.
Pumpkins are one of the oldest domesticated plants（驯化植物）.People have been growing pumpkins for thousands of years. The oldest pumpkin seeds （种子）ever found were discovered in Mexico and they date back to around 7000BC. It is thought pumpkins came from North America and Central America.
It takes long time to grow a pumpkin.If you want to grow pumpkins at home,you need lots of patience（耐心）for this slow growing fruit. Once you have planted the seeds, it could take up to four months before the pumpkins are ready to pick.

Dear Tom,
How's it going I'm glad to receive your letter.
I have visited many places. But the most unforgettable one was the trip to Mount Huangshan with my parents last summer vacation.
We climbed the mountain and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way. There were lots of strange rocks, sea of clouds and beautiful wild flowers. It was really tiring during the climbing, but we kept on climbing until the end. When we reached the top of the mountain and saw the amazing view, all the hard work was meaningful . We took a lot of photos and left many wonderful memories.
China is a country full of beautiful scenery and rich culture. I sincerely invite you to come to China and enjoy delicious food.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
