Many millions of atoms are contained in just one grain of salt, but despite their small size they are very important. The way everyday object behaves depends on what kinds of atoms are in it and how they act. For instance, you know that most solid objects melt if they get hot enough. Why is this? It is the effect of the heat on the objects atoms. All atoms move constantly. When they are hot, they move faster. Usually the atoms in an object hold together and give the object its shape. But if the object grows hot, its atoms move so fast that they break the force that usually holds them together. They move out of their usual places so that the object loses its shape. Then we say that the object is melting.1. The way an object behaves depends on the _.

I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middle March and Little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the Tsar (沙皇) with Anna Karenina. My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But I really lived, truly lived, somewhere else. I lived within the covers of books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself. I travel today in the way I once dreamed of traveling as a child-on airplanes and in trains. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home , surrounded by the family, friends and books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes reading. It turns out that when my younger self thought of taking wings, she wanted only to let her spirit soar.

When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total breakout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets, and factories.Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion.
