Read the passage, then answer the questions.
- 0Summer and Winter
Summer and winter are opposite seasons. In summer, the days are long and warm. In winter, the days are short and cold.
In summer, children swim and eat ice cream. In winter, many children build snowmen or sit by a warm fire — though in places near the equator, winter may still be warm and rainy.
Both seasons give us something to enjoy, and both are important for plants and animals. Many animals store food in summer so they can survive the winter.
