Question

以下英语阅读理解请帮忙解答.

The climate of any place is the kind of weather it usually has over a long period of time. The house we live in, the clothes we wear, even the foods we eat depend on the climate of the place where we live.
Climate is a pattern that is not nearly as simple as we think, it is affected by many factors. The distance to the North or South Pole to the equator (赤道) really matters a lot. If you live near either of the Poles, you live in a cold climate, for the place where you live does not get as much or as direct sunshine as a place farther away from the poles. In places close to the equator, the climate is very hot, for they are the parts where the sun shines almost straight down.
The amount of rain or snow falls makes a great difference to the climate. In hot, dry desert, little rain fall, but in a hot rain forest, the amount of rainfalls is far larger than that in a desert, for there is a heavy rain almost every day, even several times per day.
Though a rainforest and a desert may be the same distance from the equator, their climates are rather different from each other.How much rain or snow falls are determined by the winds, the surrounding mountains and the currents (水流) in nearby seas and so on. In short, it is a very complex natural phenomenon (现象). (本题分数：10 分。)
