第3版 Mini-world 万花筒
让我们来了解一下美式住宅的不同形式。 Homes in America In America, a home comes in many different styles. You can rent or lease an apartment. If you rent an apartment, you live in it month by month. If you want to move out, you must tell the landlord 30 days before you leave. If you lease an apartment, you sign a contract. If you leave before the contract ends, you must pay a fine.
You can buy a condominium and have an apartment of your own. But the public areas in the building are shared by all the people. If you live in a townhouse or duplex, you will share at least one wall with other homes and you do not have a big yard. And if you want to have a separate house and a big yard, you can live in a single-family home.

我们是不是只要用嘴巴就能分辨出食物的味道呢?我们是不是只要用嘴巴就能分辨出食物的味道呢? Taste without Smell We all know that some food tastes better than others. But how can we distinguish all these different tastes? Do we only need our mouth for tasting? An easy experiment tells the answer. ★ What do you need? A small piece of peeled potato. A small piece of peeled apple (same shape as the potato).
★ What to do? Close your eyes, pinch your nose and eat each piece. Can you tell us which piece is the apple and which piece is the potato? Wow, it’s hard to tell, isn’t it? ★ Why is that? Our nose and mouth are connected to each other. We taste and smell food at the same time. So it is hard to tell which food you are enjoying with your mouth only.
