One evening，Grandad said，"I once had a friend called Day.His first name was Henry，but everyone called him Happy.Happy Day made a very good living.He had been to many places and when he came to a place that he liked，he opened a pet shop and began selling African Ghost Fish.

"According to Happy，these are the world's only invisible fish，and they're especially good pets because they don't need any food.Once a year，the female Ghost Fish lays eggs.Immediately after that，and if everything is completely quiet，she becomes visible.But in a blink（眨眼）of an eye，she's gone again.If you see her，you're extremely lucky for she's the most beautiful creature alive.

"When Happy told his customers this story，his tanks of fish sold very quickly.When they were completely sold out，Happy usually left for another town. "

"Was that because his customers were not satisfied？" We asked.

"Not at all， "Grandad said. "His customers were completely satisfied.Many people told him that they got great pleasure from their invisible fish.It was so relaxing.A few even claimed that they had seen a female Ghost Fish，and it was truly unforgettable.Yes，Happy was a clever man."

"Can you tell us some more about him？" We said.

"Not now， "said Grandad. "I'm tired，and I want a nap（打盹）.Why don't you children go and watch the tank of Ghost Fish in my room？Remember，if you sit quietly and watch really closely，you might even see a female. "

As we rushed excitedly from the room，I heard Grandad whisper， "Thank you，Happy. "

I wonder what he meant.

As we know，museums are buildings where many valuable and important exhibits （展品） are kept so that people can go and see them．For example，art museums are places where people can learn about （1） v 　　 cultures．More and more popular "design museums" that are opening today，however，perform quite a different role．Unlike most art museums，the design museum shows exhibits that are easily found in our daily life ，such as fridges and washing （2） m 　　．

   The advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits．Being different from the art museum visitors，design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled．This is partly （3） b 　　design museums clearly show how and why mass﹣products （批量产品） work and look （4） a 　　 they do，and how design has improved our lives．Art museum exhibits，on the other hand，would most probably （5） f 　　 visitors with a feeling that there is something out of their understanding．

Several new design museums have opened their doors in recent years．Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public' s （6） g 　　interest in the field with new ideas．

London' s Design Museum，for example，shows a collection of mass﹣produced exhibits （7） f 　　electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish﹣tins．The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than （8） t 　　 to art museums，and visitors may also （9） s 　　humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and （10） u 　　attractive（有吸引力的）toys collected from our everyday life．

Have you ever had dreams about building a robot？Or putting together a spaceship？Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate？Done．All you need is a 3﹣D printer．

The possibilities of 3﹣D printing seem endless （无穷尽的）．All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in．The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass，sugar and even skin!When the user presses （按）﹣print，the 3﹣D printer spreads the materials layer （层） by layer and like magic the object is produced．

The first 3﹣D printer was invented in 1986by American，Charles Hull．But 3﹣D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use．Designers now use 3﹣D printing to create unusual things．The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges．

And doctors have used 3﹣D printing to print human body parts!The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man﹣made ear．But like a lot of new technologies，if 3﹣D printing gets into the wrong hands，it can be dangerous．

In 2011a group of four men in the US used 3﹣D printing to Produce ATM skimmers （提款机盗刷器）．These were placed on an ATM and stole over ＄400，000from users of the ATM．It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3﹣D printer to print a gun．But for better or for worse，3﹣D printing has been put into use．In a few years，you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3﹣D printer!

When people talk to each other，write letters or make phone calls，words of the spoken form or the written form can send any message they want to pass on．

But besides words，do you know any other ways you can use to communicate with people？Rich expressions on your face can be one of them．A smile on your face shows that you are happy．Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad or excited．Body languates can do the same job．When you put your hand up in class，the teacher knows that you want to say something or you may have some questions to ask．You shake your head from side to side and people know you are saying"no"or refuse others'requirements．When you nod，people will understand that you are saying"yes"or agree to others'opinions or suggestions．

Other forms can also carry different message．For example，a sign at the bus stop gives passengers instructions on which bus to take．The flag language made by soldiers can pass different orders．Sound from the school bell tells the students and the teachers when to begin or end a class．A photographer can use the photos he has taken to tell others about what he thinks of the world around him．Music and films also conveythe feelings and ideas of the musicians and the directors．So next time when you see a piece of art or listen to some music，take it as communication with its creator and try to get the meaning behind it．

In China, more and more people have realized the seriousness of climate（气候） change. Many young people have been living a low-carbon（低碳） life.

Zheng Xiyu is one of them. She has been trying to reduce her carbon footprint. Every morning, she takes a bus to her office and it takes her about 40 minutes. But Zheng has been thinking of changing this. She wants to try a different means（方式） of transport—cycling. Riding a bicycle to work, the lady says, takes about the same amount of time as taking a bus. “However, it’s better for the environment and my health.” she says.

Professor Li Lin has also been leading a low-carbon lifestyle. Her office uses energy-saving lights. These lights go off themselves when they are not needed. This has saved a large amount of electricity. Another way to save energy is to double-print the paper. Professor Li says small actions like these are important for protecting the environment. “Let’s say you have saved one ton of paper. That’s about two and a half tons of CO2.” Professor Li says.

Lin Hui always chooses products with a longer life when he shops. He says this helps to reduce waste. Two years ago, Lin and his friends set up an environment website, where he wanted to give some advice on saving energy and protecting the environment.

It’s easy to change to a low-carbon lifestyle. Everybody can do this and make a difference.

Use words with proper meanings and grammatical rules to fill in the blanks.

(Only one word for one blank.)

（1）In China, more and more people have realized climate ________ is becoming ________ .
