“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”

　　That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth（光滑）and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass ball is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.

　　All children soon learn what “Don't touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it.

　　There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to（习惯于）them!

　　Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

　　Family should sit down and discuss the problems before buying a dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog, the parent are the ones who are really responsible（有责任的）for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. If you don't know much about dogs, it's a good idea to go to the library for books about different kinds of dogs, as well as books about how to train a young dog. Dogs of different kinds change in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd（牧羊犬）. This is because it provides protection. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children. If your house is not big, a toy dog may be a good choice（选择）.

　　Women's fashions（时装）change more quickly than men's. In the early 1990s, all women wore their skirts to the ankle （踝）. Today some women wore even longer than before, but some are very short. Women's shoes have also gone through all sorts（类别）of changes in the last ninety-five years. For example, boots for women were very common at the beginning of the century. Then for years, they were not thought fashionable. Today they are back again in all colours, lengths（长度）. and materials（布料）.

　　In fact today's women can wear all types of clothes in any occasion（场合）. While all of these changes were taking place in women's fashions, men's clothing remained（保留）almost the same as it was a few years ago. And in fact, most men are still dressed in the kinds of clothes they used to wear.

　　If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers（青少年）. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt, and sugar. People often call this kind of food“junk food”.

　　But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don't have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don't have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey（调查）at one school, scientists found that over two-thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy diet（饮食）. They didn't like vegetables, and many of them didn't like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat.

　　· Teenagers shouldn't eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure（高血压）in the future.

　　· Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins（维生素）and have little fat.

　　· Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.
