【推荐3】Did you know magnets (磁铁) are all around you? Magnets help you do amazing things! Keep reading! See if you think magnets have surprising uses.

Magnets Push or Pull

Look closely and you will see. Magnets can be found in a fridge. The magnet attracts or pulls the metal to make the door closed. Do you know how? A magnet pulls things made of metals called iron and steel. But it will not pull other things, such as a wooden pencil or a plastic toy, which means it does not attract all.

Magnets Have Two Poles (磁极)

You have shown magnets can pull some things to them. Why is this true? The two ends of a magnet are its poles. Every magnet has a north pole and a south pole. Have you ever played with trains that have magnets? Sometimes, you try to put two train cars together, but push away from each other. Then you turn one of the cars around. The two cars attract each other rapidly. When the train cars push away, two of the same poles are facing each other. However, if you put the north and south poles together, they will be together immediately.

“_____________________”

Scientists are using magnets in new ways. There is a new train that uses powerful magnets to travel more quickly. Magnets lift the train above the track (轨道) and push the train forward. The train appears to be moving as fast as wind! They are much faster than the trains we know. Besides, in medicine, the powerful magnet is used to help patients produce heat to kill cancer cells without harming their body. The powerful magnet can also be seen in varied fields, like space, industry, and teaching. So it plays an important role in our life.
