Spring cleaning is a tradition in America. People clean up and tidy up their houses in springtime.
Before the invention of the electricity(电)，people used a lot of coal and wood in winter to heat their houses. Those things left behind a lot of dust(灰尘)on everything in the rooms. At that time,people always welcomed spring because when the weather started getting warmer, they could stop using coal and wood and get everything cleaned up. Later spring cleaning became a tradition.
Nowadays we don’t use coal and wood so at the end of winter our houses are not dirtier than they were in the past. People don’t need to remove a lot of dust.However, they have a new problem---clutter. Today the spring cleaning for most family is mainly about tidying up some useless things at home.

Now, in springtime,people clean up their houses, yards and gardens. At the same time, they spend much time in looking for the things that they don’t love any more or they don’t use any more.

Little stream(小河） ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties.I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing(消失)into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze(微风)can cross the desert,so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”
“That’s because you stick to what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No!No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this,the little stream went into the open arms of breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.
