If you want to see a thing well, touching can help you to “see” it 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 ball is. When you learn all these about the ball, you really see it well. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the differences between two different 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 that we might buy. 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 hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

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. 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 and the air on your skin. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

Iron Man suit

钢铁侠战衣

Have you ever imagined what fun it would be to fly to school? This Iron Man-style suit from a British company could make your dreams come true.

The suit allows users to fly just like Iron Man. Wearers can take off straight and fly through the air. It is powered by five mini jet engines— four are built into units close to the hands and one is built into a backpack. It can reach a top speed of 80 km per hour. There is a long way to go before this technology is available to everyone, as the suit is still quite expensive - one model recently sold for $ 440, 000 (about 3 million yuan). It is also very noisy. The inventors hope to improve it in the future.

住宅打印

Food, water and home are basic human needs. But there are 1.2 billion people in the world who don’t have a proper house to live in. The 3D printed houses made by ICON in Texas may help to solve this problem. The company can print a single- storey 60-square- meter house in just 12 to 24 hours. The walls of the house are made of a special cement(水泥) that looks like cream. Later, workers can make the walls stronger. The 3D-printed houses use less cement than normal houses, If all goes according to plan, 100 homes will be built for people in The Republic of Panama in Central America this year. Each house costs $ 10, 000 (about 69,000 yuan).
