　　Many years ago when people had no thermometers(溫度計), 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．

　　Take three glasses： the first one with very 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 each finger, 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 same glass of water．

　　That is why you must always find the temperature in a scientific way．You must not try to tell the temperature as it seems to you．

　　You will often make a mistake if you take something that seems to you for a real fact．For example, when you are going to an Amusement park by bus and you want to get there very quickly, it seems to you that your bus is going very slowly, slower than the other buses．But if it is Sunday and you have much free time, it seems to you all the buses and cars are going very fast．

　　Good evening, ladies and gentlemen．Welcome to the nine o’clock Mystery(神秘)Hour．Today we'll show you two British stories．We hope you'll enjoy them．

　　About 900 years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England．Their eyes and skin were green and they spoke a strange language．They were very tired and weak, so the people of the village looked after them．The boy died a year later, but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there．And her skin colour turned back to normal day by day．Scientists say that sometimes people don't have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can even turn green．

　　Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland．It's a very deep and cold lake．For hundreds of years, people have talked about a monster(怪物)called Nessie which lives in the lake．About seventy years ago, two people saw something moving in the lake．They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in the water．Since then many people say they have seen the monster．Their descriptions are always the same．It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head．It has a big bump(包，腫塊)on its back．People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear．Scientists don't know whether there is a monster or not．Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish．Some think it's a snake．Others say there's nothing at all-nothing but people's imagination．Maybe we'll never know what's in Loch Ness．

　　You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best．" What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation．It's not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person．A home is more than a roof and four walls．It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside．And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed．

　　Homes look different in different countries．They also have different things inside．For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it．In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors．

　　We asked some people about their homes．

　　How often do people move house in your country''．

　　"In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long lime．They

　　often move every ten years or so．"

　�。瑿hery, Boston, USA．

　　What are features(特征)of homes in your country?

　　"In Britain, even in town, there's always a garden．We have separate bedrooms and living rooms．But we don't often have balconies(陽臺)．The weather isn't warm enough! "

　　－Pat．Exeter, England

　　There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school．For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully．We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops．We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands(品牌)。We need to know how to make a choice when we shop．

　　Knowing how to make such choices is a “l(fā)ife skill”, and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives．

　　Some of these choices are small．For example, will I take an apple or a pear for lunch? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important．For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day．

　　We have to realize that the choices we make can affect the rest of our lives．Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people．The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this：who else does your choice affect?
