24、To most people of Norway（挪威），skiing（滑雪）is the best way to have fun in winter．Almost everyone can ski．Children learn to ski soon after they learn to walk． Long，long ago in Norway，there were no buses，trains or cars．The people had to find a way to walk over the deep snow．Skis were the right answer! And Norwegians（挪威人）have been skiing ever since．

　　Today most Norwegians ski just for fun．Most families-mothers，fathers and children，may go together on a ski trip across the snowy countryside．Some of Norwegian young men and women are among the best skiers in the world．They have won many prizes．

　　Although they love winter．the people of Norway are happy to see summer come．They enjoy the out-of-doors at any time of the year．In summer they swim and sunbathe（日光浴）near the oceans．Some people go hiking and mountain climbing．Sail-boats glide（滑行）down the sea during the warm sunny summer months．

　　The Norwegians，like people everywhere，find many ways to have a good time．During the long winter they also enjoy films．They like to read and enjoy books from the libraries no matter what the season is．Family life is very important to the people of Norway．
