　　Many years ago when people had no thermometers(溫度計), they usually touched a thing to see how hot or cold it was．The following experiment shows how easy it was to make a mistake．

　　Take three glasses： the first one with very hot water, the second one with very cold water, and the third one with water at room temperature．Then you put a finger of one hand in the hot water, and a finger of the other hand in the cold water．You hold your fingers in the two glasses for a minute．Then you use each finger, one after another, to see how hot or cold the water in the third glass is．You will find that the water is warm to the finger that was in the cold water before, but the finger which was in the hot water will feel cold in the same glass of water．

　　That is why you must always find the temperature in a scientific way．You must not try to tell the temperature as it seems to you．

　　You will often make a mistake if you take something that seems to you for a real fact．For example, when you are going to an Amusement park by bus and you want to get there very quickly, it seems to you that your bus is going very slowly, slower than the other buses．But if it is Sunday and you have much free time, it seems to you all the buses and cars are going very fast．

閱讀理解。
     I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard
University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company "Microsoft" and make
his own software. But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost
all computers now use Microsoft software. The program "Word" is used from Britain to China!
     Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success.
Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says
that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new
software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their
programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and
stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
     He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of
many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.
