As a country strong in math, China has many folk games filled with math wisdom. You may have played many of them before. Let's take a look at two of them.
| Luban Lock Luban Lock was first created by Chinese carpenter Lu Ban about 2,000 years ago. It is said that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It's hard to separate the six pieces. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban Lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban Locks made up of nine or more pieces. |
| Huarong Pass Huarong Pass is a traditional Chinese block-moving puzzle. Every block is named after a character in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

Remember we used to see many fireflies(萤火虫) shining in the grass on summer evenings? Now we are lucky if we see one. Fireflies have become fewer and fewer all over the world because the lights at night keep them away and because there is too little land for them to live on. To bring these little flying friends back into our lives, we can: 1. Keep the grass taller and grow more plants. Fireflies like to live over tall grass or near the high points of plants. 2. Leave dry leaves or dead plants in the garden. Small animals like slugs, snails, and worms live under them. They are fireflies' favorite food. 3. Turn off lights in the garden or by the window. When it is too bright, fireflies don't know if the light is from other fireflies or from lamps. So it is difficult for them to find each other. 4. Build a pond in the yard and keep the water clean. Fireflies like to live around clean water. Let us know if you have any questions. The National Science Center: 123-4567.
