The students were having their chemistry (化学)class. Miss Li was telling the children what water is like. After that, she asked her students, “What's water? ” No one spoke for a few minutes. Miss Li asked again, “Why don't you answer my question? Didn't I tell you what water is like? ”

    Just then a boy put up his hand and said, “Miss Li, you told us that water has no colour and no smell. But where to find such kind of water? The water in the river behind my house is always black and it has a bad smell.” Most of the children agreed with him.

    “I'm sorry, children,” said the teacher, “our water is getting dirtier. That's a problem.”

    A Clock and a Watch

    We can tell the time by a clock or by a watch. A clock is big; it is usually on the wall or on the table. A watch is small; we can put it in the pocket (口袋), or wear it on the wrist（手腕）! A clock or a watch usually has a round face. It has two hands, a long one and a short one. Tom's clock can speak and call him to get up every day. His watch has a picture of a lovely dog on the face. He likes it very much.
