①Have you ever wondered why we can't control those"achoo" moments? Welcome to the unusual world of sneezes(打喷嚏). Here is some interesting knowledge about it
②First, it all starts with a tickle(痒). Whether it's dust, pepper, or a simple ray of sunshine as long as your body thinks it might be something harmful, your brain gets a warning that it's time to sneeze. It's like the first sound in a sneezing concert. What's more, a sneeze is like a small pop. It can travel up to 100 miles per hour (160 km per hour)! Imagine your sneeze going past at the speed of a raving can. It's your nose's way of saying," ▲ "
③After a sneeze, we often say"bless you". It's believed to stop you from evil spirits who' re trying to get into your body during a sneeze. So, every bless you' is like a mini exorcism(驱邪) for your nose. Also, one sneeze can start a chain(连锁) reaction. Sneezes are a bit like a kind of illness which can spread from one to another. For example, once one person starts, it's hard for others not to join in. It's the social side of sneezing!
④Finally, did you know that some people else their eyes without thinking anything when they sneeze? It's like a built-in part of your body, and scientists aren't sure why it happens.
⑤All in all, after knowing the unusual world of sneezes, we should let it be. The next time you feel a tickle in your nose and the feeling to sneeze, just accept it. It's not just a sneeze. Instead, it's an unusual, uncontrollable performance brought to you by the one and only, your fantastic nose!

In 1983, scientists recorded the lowest temperature ever: -89.4C! It's also the "wettest" place because 98% of Antarctica is covered in ice. But it's also the driest place because it never rains there – it only snows! |
