We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(嫉妒) my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. And when we look back it seems too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends--or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the meaning behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “you are a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy (家伙),” or “You’re a lucky gal(姑娘),” that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog” there is a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself .But bringing in the “dog” puts you down a little. What he is saying is that he doesn’t think you are worthy of your luck.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person’s talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says fit in with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态)? The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

We’re surrounded by chemistry in everyday life. Sometimes it is easy to see, like when your science teacher does a big experiment in class. At other times, it can be pretty hard to see everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch or use has some element of chemistry in it.
Something as simple as toothpaste contains at least three chemicals, if not more. It is the mixture of them and its chemical reaction that keeps your teeth clean. Other things you use every day are created by chemistry, such as hair products, shampoo and soap. Adding detergent (洗涤剂) to water involves chemistry. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes or skin. Chemistry not only helps us make products for use, but it also helps us understand the world around us. Chemistry helps us understand what the ozone layer (臭氧层) is and how it protects us. Chemistry also gives us sunscreen to protect us from the sun. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can’t be mixed with vinegar(醋), because it can produce poisonous gas.Without chemistry, we wouldn’t have fireworks displays on important days.
Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is why cooked food often tastes different from raw food. Baking is a great example of chemistry. Too much or too little of any ingredient(成分,尤指烹饪) makes a difference to the result of baking, for example, the dough (面团) won’t rise or the cake will be flat.
Chemistry isn’t something that just lives in a lab; it’s something that you meet hundreds of times every day. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the science behind some of the simplest-looking things.
