     Many years ago when people had no thermometers (溫度計(jì)), they usually touched a thing to see
how hot or cold it was. The following experiment shows how easy it was to make a mistake (錯(cuò)誤).
     Take three glasses: the first one with hot water, the second one with very cold water and the third
one with water at room temperature. Then you put a finger of one hand in the hot water, and a finger
of the other hand in the cold water. You hold your fingers in the two glasses for a minute. Then you use
the two fingers, one after another, to see how hot or cold the water in the third glass is. You will find that
the water is warm to the finger that was in the cold water before, but the finger which was in the hot water will feel cold in the third glass of water.
     You will often make a mistake if you take something that seems to you for a real fact. That is why
you must always find the temperature in a scientific way. You must not try to tell the temperature as it
seems (好像) to you.

     As a student, you must read a lot of interesting books. Most of the books come from the school library,
I am sure. Perhaps you also get books from the public (公共的) libraries in your city. Maybe your parents
and friends have given some books to you as presents. And if you like reading and want to learn more, I am
sure that you will buy books yourself. Do you know how books are made? Well, a book passes through the
hands of many different workers. Each of them works very carefully, for there mustn't be any mistakes in
the book. Different people read the book many times before it is finished.
     Millions of books are printed (出版) in our country every year. So people can get more books to read.
Now may I ask you a question? Have you taken good care of the books?When you buy yourself some new
books, will you cover the books with some pieces of paper? Sometimes new books will be broken if you
open them suddenly in the middle.
     Try to turn every page of a book with care. If somebody loves reading very much, he will love the books,
too.
