You may not think it is big news, but for us it is. It has been very hot and dry since the last time I wrote to you. In fact, it has not rained for about twelve weeks. I heard on the radio that it has been the driest winter since they started keeping records of rainfall (降雨量) in 1887. Everything is very dry. In the city, people have let their lawns（草坪） die, and the ground is very dry. In the country, the farmers cant grow any plants, and their animals are dying. The farmers have to buy grass for their animals to eat because they havent been able to grow any themselves. So you can imagine how happy people are when it is raining at last. Of course, a few hours of rain will not be enough, but it is certainly helpful. I like the rain. It makes the air smell different. Everything looks and smells clean and fresh. I like the sound of the rain, too. Thats all the news from here. Please write to me soon. Your friend, Jason( ) 16. What does Jason talk about?A. His city.B. His family. C. His school.D.
