Since I was born and brought up in a rural town，I have a great interest in nature.Using the chance of
studying abroad in my second year at college，I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the
beautiful phenomena there.So after I finished the study program，I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest
Territories.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife.Suddenly my host mother came to my room around
8 pm and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I was shocked and just stood there with my
mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night，whenever it was sunny，I went outside at night and looked at the sky.It was so cold
that I lost all feeling in my hands and feet.
As I took pictures of the northern lights，I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights.They
first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky.After
that，suddenly，they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while，which is the time when
the best northern lights can be seen.Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to
the middle of the sky，it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts，the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky.That’s because
they come about from the collisions (碰撞)between atmospheric gases and the solar wind.Much more solar
wind comes to the earth when the sun is active，which leads to the best northern lights.And the colors of
the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.

Most travelers face the language difficulty in Italy(意大利) nowadays.__1__There are a few things
that you should know before you step out of the airport.
There’s no such thing as “Italian food”．

know what’s produced locally and what’s in season，and you’ll be eating the freshest and best of what that

In Italy，after your meal is served，you may not see the waiter at your table again until it’s time to
clear your plates.This is not the waiter being rude.__4__
An empty restaurant doesn’t mean the place is bad.
Many times I’ve gone into restaurants in Italy at what I thought was dinner time only to find the place
nearly empty.__5__The dinner hour in many cities doesn’t start until at least 8 pm.Many restaurants in
bigger cities and towns will be open earlier than that，but the earlier opening time isn’t for the locals.It’s
for visitors.
