Most people talk about the“five”senses of man．And it is true that we get our information about the outside world from our senses of sight，hearing，smell，touch and taste．Researchers（研究员）tell us that sense of sight-our visual（视觉的）sense-gives us up to eighty percent（百分比）of what we know about the world outside our bodies; while the other senses，the auditory（hearing），the olfactory（smell），the Iactile（touch），and the gustatory（taste） bring into our brains information about the other 20％of what is happening．But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without them，though they are seldom noticed．These are the sense of balance，without which we would act like a drunk man，and the kinesthetic （运动觉的）sense，which gives us our ideas about our own motion（行动）．

What does the word“home”mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Spanish? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means it often has no exact translation（翻译）．It’s not surprising really，because the idea of home varies from country to country，and from person to person．A home is more than a roof and four walls．It’s the cooking，eating，talking，playing and family living that go on inside，which are important as well．And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed．

But it’s not just that homes look different in different countries，they also contain different things and reveal（显露）different attitudes（态度）and needs．For example，in cold northern Europe，there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it．In the south，where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out，there are small windows，cool stone floors and often no carpets．
