What’s that smell? Do you hear that noise? Taste this! Look at me! Feel this, isn’t it soft? When you hear, or even use these phrases, you probably don’t stop to think about why we use them. Well, it’s because of our senses. Without us even knowing, our sense organs (nose, eyes, ears, tongue, and skin) are taking in information and sending it to the brain for processing. If we didn’t have them, we would not be able to smell, see, hear, taste, or touch anything!
Senses are the physical means by which all living things see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Each sense collects information about the world and detects changes within the body. Both people and animals get all of their knowledge from their senses, and that is why senses are so important.
All senses depend on the working nerve system. Our sense organs start to work when something stimulates（刺激） special nerve cells, called receptors, in a sense organ. Once stimulated, the receptors send nerve impulses along sensory nerves to the brain. Your brain then tells you what to do. For example, your sound receptors are often attacked by billions of sound waves. When these signals reach the part of the brain called the cerebral cortex（大脑皮层）, we become conscious of the sounds.
Our group really learned a lot about the senses while creating this website. We hope that you are able to get just as much out of it. Please feel free to comment about anything on the site by e-mailing us. Also, don’t forget to sign the guest book! Thanks for visiting our site. Come back soon!

During the years of depression(萧条), food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other.  

One day I was   36   some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily   37   a full basket of   38    green peas. Then I was  39   to see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas   for just a marble (弹球).

Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby,    40   and told me that Mr Miller loved to  trade with the three boys in the village for peas, tomatoes, and other things  41   he didn’t really need any marbles. I left the stand, smiling to myself,   42   by this man.

   Several years went by. One day I learned that Mr Miller had died. I took part in the funeral(葬礼),  43   three young men . They came over to Mrs Miller, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke with her and moved on,   44   their eyes.

Our 45   came to meet Mrs Miller. I mentioned 46   she had told me about the 47 . She told me,“Those three young men above were the boys I told you about. They just told me   48  they appreciated the things Jim‘traded’with them. Now, at last, they came to pay their debt.”  

 “We’ve 49   had a great deal of the wealth in this world,” she added, “but right now, Jim would consider himself to be the  50   man.”

Then she gently lifted the   51   fingers of her husband. Resting underneath were three red marbles.

At that time I realized that we would not be  52    by our words, but by our kind  53  . It is said that it takes a minute to find a    54   person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to  55   him.

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be   36    Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d  37   ?" Just when I started to    38   that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women   39    at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of   40    that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t    41. Somebody had thought    42   of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my   43   Christmas there special and memorable, I   44   remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of   45   for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I    46   a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies,  47   with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were   48 .  Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I    49   them that they couldn’t open their presents    50   every child had come forward. Finally the    51   they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three. Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles   52   up the room. The    53    in the room was obvious, and   54   wasn’’t just about toys. It was a feeling — the feeling I knew   55  that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

Years ago in Scotland, the Clark family had a dream. Clark and his wife worked and saved,   21 plans for their nine children and themselves to   22   to the United States. It had taken years, but they had finally    23   enough money and had gotten passports and reservations for the    24    family on a new liner to the United States.
The entire family was    25    with excitement about their new life. However, seven days before their   26   , the youngest son was bitten by a dog. The doctor sewed up the boy   27   hung a yellow sheet on the Clarks’ front door.   28    the possibility of rabies (狂犬病), they were being quarantined (隔离)for fourteen days.
The family’s dreams were dashed. They would not be able to make the trip to America   29  they had planned. Watching the ship leave    30   his family, the father, filled with disappointment and anger, cursed both his son and God for their    31    .
Five days later, the tragic news spread    32   Scotland---the mighty Titanic had sunk. The  33  ship had sunk, taking hundreds of lives with it. The Clark family    34  have been on that ship, but because the son had been bitten by a dog, they were left    35      in Scotland.
When Mr. Clark heard the news, he hugged his son and thanked him for    36  the family. He thanked God    37 saving their lives and turning what he had left was a tragedy into a    38   .
Although we may not   39  understand, all things happen for a     40   .
