Winter is very cold and long, but it's a very important time! Plants and crops need short days and cold weather to rest. This rest is like sleeping. While they rest, they save energy in a safe, secret way. In the spring, they use this energy to grow again. If fruit trees do not get enough cold days, they will not have many flowers, and the flowers might be weak.
冬天很冷、很漫长，但冬天是一段非常重要的时间！植物和农作物需要短暂的白天和寒冷的天气来休息。这种休息就像睡觉一样。在休息时，它们会以一种安全而隐秘的方式储存能量。春天，它们会利用这种能量再次生长。如果果树没有经历足够多的寒冷天气，它们就不会开太多的花，而且花可能会很脆弱。
People also need winter to guide their daily activities. We think better when the temperature is low. We sleep better too! When we go to sleep in bedrooms, our bodies cool down. It is easier to fall asleep when it is cool.
人们也需要冬季来指导日常活动。低温有助于我们思考。我们睡得也更好！当我们在卧室里睡觉时，身体会降温。天气凉爽时我们更容易入睡。
Winter is important for plants and people!
冬天对植物和人类都很重要！
