What makes you ill It’s germs (细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t find them with your eyes but you can see them with a microscope (显微镜). They are very small and there could be hundreds of them in or on a very small thing. Germs are always found in dirty water. When you look at dirty water under the microscope, you can see them in it. Germs are found not only in water. They are also found in air and dust.

What will the future be like Almost every person has a picture of the future world in his or her mind. Then, how did people in the past dream of today’s world Did their dreams come true
Jules Gabriel Verne, a French writer, was a big dreamer. He was famous for his science fiction (科幻小说). His stories are very interesting. More surprisingly, he created so many wonderful things in his books, and those things have become a reality (现实) in today’s world.
In the book From the Earth to the Moon, Verne discussed the idea of taking a trip to the moon. He described so many things about how to take people to the moon. About one hundred years later, scientists made it possible. Not only that, but in his book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the characters go all around the world on an electric submarine (电动潜艇). He finished the book in 1870. The idea of the electric submarine was surprising as the use of electricity was not common at the time. Although Verne didn’t invent the submarine, his book helped some people come up with wonderful ideas to make submarines work better.
Many people are surprised at Verne’s creative mind. In fact, his creative predictions went hand in hand with his hard work.

As we all know, paper cutting is one of the traditional Chinese arts. It’s easy to learn this. People only need to use scissors and paper, so they enjoy doing it in their daily life. Paper cutting can be made in different shapes, such as figures, animals, flowers and Chinese characters with good meanings and so on. People often put them up on the windows, doors as well as walls. Paper cutting often appears at festivals or weddings because people think it can bring them happiness and good luck.
We should try our best to protect this traditional skill.
