The United States has many different kinds of climates (气候). On the northwest coast (海岸), the
temperature changes very little between summer and winter, but the north central (中部的) states have a
very different kind of climate. In those states, people wear light clothes in summer, and they need heavy
woolen clothes in winter.
In the southwest coast, the climate is rainy and warm during the winter, but the summer is dry and hot.
In the northeast of the United States, summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures.
Summer is usually hot, and winter is usually cold. Spring temperatures are warm, and fall temperatures
are cool.
Years ago, people in the cold parts of the United States didn't often get fresh (新鲜的) vegetables and
fresh fruits during the summer. Today, however (然而),trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very
quickly to all parts of the United States. In this way, Americans "send their climates" to people in other
states.
