As we know, weather and climate can affect people in a number of ways.
Farming and climate Farming is directly linked (联系) to weather and climate. For example, wheat needs dry, warm and sunny weather to grow while rice needs wet, hot and rainy weather. Farmers have to decide what to grow according to the weather in their area. When there is a sudden change in the climate, it will affect farming and food production around the world.
Climate and people’s health A change in weather will also cause changes in food, air and water qualities. So it will have a deep effect on people in the future. Changes in weather and climate can cause infectious (传染的) illnesses to spread among people because germs (细菌) can be easily spread through air and water.
Climate and water resources A climate change would influence the water system across the world. For example, in North America there is so much rain that towns and cities are often flooded. However, in North Africa, people can die of thirst because of being short of water.
In recent years, as a result of global warming (全球变暖), we suffer a lot from extreme (极端的) weather each year and it is the duty of the whole world to control the climate change and save our own planet – the earth.

What is your zodiac（生肖） animal? According to the Chinese lunar calendar（农历）, 12 animals mark 12 different years. It is the basis of the Chinese zodiac. Nowadays, Chinese zodiac animals have worldwide fame and are increasingly popular among western people.
The zodiac is an important part of Chinese culture. People believe that the characteristics of a zodiac animal influence the personality of every person born in that year. For example, people born in the Year of the Tiger are considered powerful and brave.
Zodiac animals also have some social functions. When people think it is not proper to ask: “How old are you”, they may change their question to “What is your zodiac animal?” With this question, you can figure out roughly which year someone was born and the person’s age.
Zodiac animals are not special to China. Many countries share a similar zodiac culture with China. For example, in the Japanese Zodiac, a wild boar（野猪）takes the place of a pig and the Vietnamese（越南的）zodiac has a cat instead of a rabbit.
But have you ever wondered how these 12 animals were chosen to represent each year? According to legend, the Jade Emperor（玉皇大帝）invited all the animals to join him for Chinese New Year. Only 12 animals went to see him. As a reward he named a year after each one in the order they arrived. The ox would have been the first to arrive, but the rat sat on his back and jumped off just before they arrived to come in first place.
