“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.

All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.

If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

请阅读 Mary 写给 Dr. Know 的一封信。

Dear Dr. Know,

I am busy and unhappy these days. Classes begin at 7:00 every morning and I have to get up at 5:30 because my home is very far from my school. It takes me an hour to get to school by bike. So I'm sleepy in class every day. Dogs are very cute. And I want to keep a dog as a pet. But my mom doesn’t think dogs are good pets for us because we don't have enough time to walk a dog every day.

Spring comes and it is warm and sunny. I want to go out to exercise every day, but my mom says study is the most important thing in my life. How terrible!

What are you doing now? What's the weather like in your city? Are you happy every day?

Mary

Albert Einstein was born on 14th March,1879 in Germany. He was a special person since he was born. Einstein wasn’t able to speak a word until three. He was interested in everything and full of creative ideas. He loved watching things carefully and asked a lot of questions about them. His questions were often hard to answer for teachers.

Einstein started school in 1885. Though he did well in math and science, he failed in many subjects like history, geography and languages. He was not the teachers’ favorite. He didn’t enjoy going to school. Einstein finished high school in Switzerland and entered a university in Zurich. He graduated as a teacher of math and physics in 1900.

After graduation, Einstein worked at the Patent (专利) Office. He spent much time studying physics. By 1909, Einstein had become a top scientist. Though he became successful in the field of science, he still put great effort in scientific research. Finally, he won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.

Einstein kept at his research until he died in 1955. Scientists studied his brain after his death to see if there was anything special about it. However, there was no answer.

Today many famous scientists still think Einstein is the smartest man in the world.
