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!

How do clouds form?
The sky can be full of water. But most of the time you can't see the water. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}They have turned into water vapor (蒸气). As the water vapor goes higher in the sky, the air gets cooler.
