Have you ever rubbed(擦) your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction(摩擦). Friction happens when two things that aren’t very smooth rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction (and heat) you can make. Let’s discover friction!
●________1.__________
Soap Water Your hands
●________2._________
(1). Make sure your hands are dry.
(2). Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.
(3). Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery(滑的).
(4). Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.
(5). Please write down what has happened.
●________3.__________
Friction is an energy that happens when two things rub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won’t make very much friction and your hands won’t get so hot.
●________4._________
(1). Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.
(2). Ancient people made fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction happened though they didn’t know it.
●_______5.________
Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car. If it is not too hot, touch the tires(轮胎) of the car before and after a short drive to see how much warmer they get from friction.

Have you ever noticed ads which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on?
1. The only language that is easy to learn is the native language. And think how much practice that gets! Before World WarⅡpeople usually learned a foreign language in order to read the books and newspapers of the country.

Some people try at home with books and records or tapes, some use radios or television programs, others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a language at school.
3. However, most people can’t afford this, and for many it is not necessary. 4. For example, scientists and doctors only need to be able to read books and reports in foreign languages.
Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. 5.
A. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.
B. Of course, it never happens quite like that.
C. What we can do is to try our best to learn it well and wisely.
D. How do they do it?
