A
Stained Glass (彩色玻璃) Artwork
Sainte Chapelle, France
While many say that Paris' must-see cathedral (教堂) is Notre Dame de Paris,
Sainte Chapelle should also be high up on the list. Louis IX ordered it to be built in
1239 to house the Crown of Thorns, a famous relic from Constantinople. Within the
ceilings of the church are fifteen of the world's finest stained glass windows.
Unfortunately, as a result of the French Revolution, one third of the stained glass had
to be replaced.
The Chicago Cultural Centre, USA
While the Windy City might not house the nation's winningest sports teams, it
does have one of the world's most eye-catching displays of stained glass. Today's
Chicago Cultural Centre, which was designed as a library in 1887, has a 38-feet-tall
Tiffany glass dome (圆屋顶), which is said to be the largest Tiffany dome in the world.
Erawan Museum,Thailand
The Erawan Museum, built in 1994, houses ancient, priceless Thai artworks, all of
which are displayed within the building's three floors, said to symbolize the three
levels of the universe. The shiny stained glass is on the second floor, which museum
owner Khun Lek Viriyapant considers to be the human level. Designed by German
artist Jacob Schwarzkopf, the stained glass artwork shows five continents, with the sun
delivering light, and therefore life, into all.
Saint Vitus Cathedral, Czech Republic
While the Czech church whose doors many travelers pass through every day was
built way back in 1344, its amazing display of stained glass is a 20th-century donation
from well-known Czech Art Nouveau artist Alfons Mucha. The artwork is nothing if
not fitting for Prague, the city in which the stained glass is displayed. After all, it is the
modern-day Czech Republic from which dreamy Bohemians came.

B
Tom could hardly wait for morning. Snow was falling quickly. By morning he
expected that there would be enough snow to make a great snowman. Tom had never
made a snowman before. He had just moved to Indiana from Alabama, where it hardly
ever snowed.
The next morning, Tom's mother shook him gently. “No school today,” she
said. “There is too much snow for the school bus to go through.”
Tom let out a loud cry. He jumped out of the bed and pulled on his snow clothes.
Tom's friends, Herb and Addie, were already outside. “Hey, Tom!” called
Addie. “We are going to Warwick Hill in a little while. Do you want to come?”
“No, not now,” Tom answered. “I'm going to make a snowman.”
Herb shook his head. “It's not snowman snow. It's too dry and soft.” Herb pushed
his gloves into the snow and picked some blew on the snow and it flew away
like dust.
Tom looked down at the ground. “Snow was snow,” he'd always thought. How
was he supposed to know there were different kinds? “What kind of snow is this?”
He asked.
“It's sledding (滑雪橇) snow!” laughed Addie. “That's why we are going to
Warwick Hill. All the kids will be there, and you should come, too.” Addie held a sled
