Many plants do not grow during winter. Some plants die. Snow and ice may cover the ground. It can be hard for animals to find food during winter. Animals get through this time in many ways. Birds and butterflies can fly. Many of them fly to a place with nice weather in winter and return home in spring. We call it migration. Another good way to be away from the cold is to sleep through it. Many animals hide themselves during the winter such as snakes, frogs and bears. They sleep and do not eat for the whole winter. We call it hibernation. Some animals store food in their homes. They save some food in summer and fall and live on them. This is what squirrels （松鼠） do. Other animals do not leave. They do not hide. Sometimes nature helps them out. Some animals grow thicker coats in the winter. Other animals change color. The arctic fox （北極狐） is brown in summer, but his coat turns white in winter.

Most people only lived to be twentyfive or thirty years old. 20% of people died before they were twelvemonths old and another 30% could not live to be five years old. Today, people can live much longer. One reason is that the water we drink is cleaner. Clean water does not cause diseases（疾?。? Besides, medical treatment is better today. More and more people live to be over eighty. Women often live longer than men. For example, in Japan, women usually can live to be eightyfive, but men can only live to be eighty. In the future, people will probably live longer than today. Here are many things we can do to help people live longer. For example, we can make sure that everyone has enough medicine to fight against diseases. Also, it is necessary for everyone to have enough to eat. Today many people die because they do not have enough food. （1）Thousands of years ago, 160
