“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.
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 as we might buy:food, clothes.To see something well, wo have to touch it.
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 every thing on show.If we want to see better, reach out and touch.Then you will really see.

When asked to point out of or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.
A true friendship carries-a-long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected.It is a treasure we should prove it.Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements.And the sult can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.First, don’t let your pride get in your way.Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open.Second, apologize when you’re wrong–even if you’ve been wronged.Over the course of friendship, even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes wrong.Third, see things from your friend’s point of view(观点).And finally, accept that friendships changes as our needs and lifestyles(生活方式)change.Making friends can sometimes seem easy The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the nature ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships.My suggestion:Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培养).
