Max's Good Habit
Max reads more than anyone he knows．He loves to read during all of his free
time．His friends laugh at him because he would rather read than play video games，but his parents and his teachers are proud of him They say reading is important，and it will help him learn about the world around him They also tell him it is a good habit to read on a regular basis．
One day Max was reading a magazine article about volcanoes．He told his friends all about volcanoes and what causes them to erupt（爆发）．The very next week，his class was told to do a science project．It was to create a poster board with information about volcanoes and to build a volcano model．Guess who everyone wanted in their project group？Max's friends weren't laughing at him anymore．Max ended up being in a group with Liz，Anna and Josh．
Max made copies of the magazine article about volcanoes so his project partners could read about them too．They also went to the library to look for more information about volcanoes．
The group met at Anna's house that night to organize the information．They all asked Max what he thought was most important．Then they discussed and decided on the information they wanted to put on the poster board．
The next night they met at Josh's house to build their volcano．They used cardboard and modeling clay（黏土）．
First they made a volcano shape with the cardboard，and then they covered the shape in brown clay．They also fixed red clay to the top of the volcano to make it look like it was erupting．
The volcano looked great．Max，Liz，Anna and Josh were very proud of their hard work．When they tamed in their project，their teacher was proud，too．Thanks to Max's good habit，they got an A+on both parts of the project
