There are often dark clouds, grey sky and cold rain in England in autumn; and most students from warm countries do not like this. But snow is different . Though it is cold, it is also beautiful. Perhaps, after several(几个) dark mornings, the student wakes up one day, and there is a lot of light in his room. He thinks “Is it so late?”and jumps out of bed. But no, it is not very late. He looks out of the window and there is the snow on the ground and on the houses and everywhere. The light of his room comes from clean, beautiful snow.根据短文内容,选择最佳案1.
