I have tried many ways to be ill. I don’t wear a sweater when I should, and two days ago I walked in the rain without my shoes. But so far nothing has happened. Debbie once told me about a boy in her class who liked being away from school. He would rub (擦) the end of the thermometer (温度计) until it went up to 39 ℃. Then he’d put it in his mouth and his mother would think he was really ill.

This morning I tried doing that but it never went above 35 ℃ and I rubbed it for ten minutes. So I held the thermometer next to the light on my desk and it went up to 40 ℃. I thought I’d put it in my mouth and walk downstairs like that. Then my mother would take it out and she would be worried when she saw that I was rather ill.

The only trouble was I didn’t know the thermometer would be so hot. As soon as I put it into my mouth, it burnt my tongue! I spit（吐掉） the thermometer out. It fell on the floor but it didn’t break.

I will have to think of a better way to get my mother and father back together.

People make many different kinds of houses around the world. Weather tells us what kind of house we need to make.

In hot places such as south China and south America, the weather is warm so people can be outside most of the time. But they still need to keep themselves safe from the sun, rain and insects. Houses in such places can have screens on their windows and doors. They let the wind into the houses, but keep out the insects.

In Canada, north China and other cold places, houses need to keep out the cold and keep in the heat. These houses need thick walls. lf there is a lot of snow, the roofs(屋顶) need to let the snow fall off easily. These houses cannot have flat roofs. The roofs must also be strong, so they can hold a lot of snow.

What kind of house do you live in? Is it good for the weather you have?
