A Seasonal Guide to Copenhagen
With each season offering a new range of experiences, there's never a bad time to visit Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.
Winter
Winter in Copenhagen is a great time to search for the abstract Danish feeling of "hygge", which roughly translates to an atmosphere of warm and comfortable companionship. The Copenhagen winter can be freezing in a very literal（字面）sense, but that just means it's time to search out some fun in the great indoors.
Spring
It's easy to spot when spring has arrived in Copenhagen—just look out for all the Danish people out in the streets！The Scandinavian winter is generally pretty rough, so when that warmth is felt in the air the locals can't help but celebrate. The funfairs（游乐场）and parks of Tivoli Gardens reopen. May sees temperatures rise enough for carnivals and street parties in true Danish style.
Summer
A busy schedule of festivals, events and markets typify the season, and the parks and watersides of Denmark's capital will be packed with people almost every day. At the height of summer, Denmark's Midnight Sun means your explorations of Copenhagen can go well into the evening, with many attractions and bars staying open until the sun begins to set.
Fall
There's one very good reason to visit Copenhagen in the autumn, and that's because winter is coming. The autumn months are the last chance to enjoy everything the city has to offer. Tivoli Gardens throws a three-week Halloween extravaganza and October's Night of Culture showcases the best of Danish art, music and literature. The autumn weather also means splendid sunsets that bathe the city in a soft orange glow—a painting by nature that you won't soon forget！

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I have a friend who is afraid of spiders. This isn’t very unusual；a lot of people are afraid of spiders. I don’t really like spiders much myself. But my friend isn’t afraid of spiders in any normal way. She isn’t just afraid of spiders，she is totally，completely and utterly terrified of them. When she sees a spider，she shivers all over and sometimes she freezes completely—she can’t move at all because she is so scared. Sometimes she even faints.
She decided to do something about her terror，so she went to visit a doctor. After knowing my friend’s situation，the doctor got out a small spider from his desk. It wasn’t a real spider. It was made of plastic. Even so，my friend screamed when she saw it. “Don’t worry，”said the doctor. “It’s not a real spider. ”“I know，”said my friend. “But I’m afraid of it just the same. ”
“Hmm，”said the doctor. “A serioos case. . . ”He put the plastic spider on the desk. When my friend stopped screaming，the doctor told her to touch it. When she stopped screaming again—the idea of touching the plastic spider was enough to make her scream—she touched it. At first she touched it for just one second. She shivered all over，but at least she managed to touch it. “OK，”said the psychiatrist. “that’s all for today and you can go home now. ”
My friend went back the next day，and found the plastic spider was already on the doctor’s desk. This time she touched it and held it for five minutes. Then the doctor told her to go home and come back the next day. The next day she went back and the plastic spider was on her chair. She had to move the spider so she could sit down. The next day she held the spider in her hand while she sat in her chair. The next day，the doctor gave her the plastic spider and told her to take it home with her. After a deep breath，she agreed.
Paragraph1
The next day，she went back with the plastic spider and then she had a shock. . . a big shock.
