　　　 “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 hand, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heave the glass 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(硬币)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!

1. By touching things,______.

Thirty years ago, lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life . Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish. The lake water is polluted is in a color of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.

　 How did this happen? First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains ,water comes into the Lake from around. In the past , there were forestsall around Lake Ponkapog, so the rain water was clean.

　 Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals(化学品) in the gardens .They used other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning or killing insects(昆虫).There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in the machines or shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains , the rain water picks up all the chem. icals from homes and businesses and then carries them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.

　 Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.

　 People in Hartwell are worried. They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at homes and at work. They must also be careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn’t use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people’s lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again
