Kayla was excited. She was beginning a pottery（陶瓷）class. Kayla was interested in pottery. She had seen pictures of American Indian pottery at school. That was when she decided she loved it. So now she was going to learn how to make pottery herself.

During the first class, Kayla and the other kids leaned about safety. There were several sharp tools in the classroom. There was also a kiln, or over, that got very hot. So everyone had to learn what the safety rules were. Then, their teacher showed them how to work the clay（粘土）. For the next few classes,Kayla and the other kids practiced different styles of pottery.

Finally, it was time for the students to make their own pottery. Kayla decided to make a matching plate and cup. She got the clay she needed and used a tool called a potter’s wheel to fashion the clay into the shape of a plate and a cup. Then, Kayla used some tools to give the plate and cup their final shapes. She made a handle for the cup, too. When the cup and plate were shaped, they were left to dry.

When the plate and cup were dry, it was time to paint them. Kayla used paints for clay and created her picture. When Kayla was finished, the paint was allowed to dry. It was then time to fire, or bake, the plate and cup in the kiln. This would take some time, so the teacher said that they would see the pottery at the next class. And it was! Kayla’s cup and plate turned out beautifully, and she couldn’t wait to show it to her parents.

【1】Kayla was interested in drawing pictures of American Indian pottery, wasn’t she?

【2】According to the next, write one safety rule for the pottery class.

【3】What tool did Kayla use to fashion the clay into the shape of plate and cup?

【4】What did Kayla do after she painted and dried the plate and cup?

【5】How did Kayla feel when her pottery was completely finished?

【6】What does the writer try to tell the readers with Kayla’s story?

You move every day. Every time you sit down, walk, ride a bike, or eat your food, you are moving. You e【1】 move while you are sitting in a chair. What gets you moving, keeps you moving, and helps you to move the way you want to move?

One force that helps you move is gravity. Gravity pulls you toward Earth. Why? Earth is bigger and h【2】 than you are, so you’re pulled by Earth’s gravity. How does that help you? When you take a step, gravity pulls on your foot. That pulling helps you put your foot down. Then, you can move your o【3】 foot. Do you like to play baseball? Gravity makes the baseball fall after it is h【4】. Then, as gravity pulls the ball toward the ground, and can catch the ball.

Friction also helps you move. Friction happens when two o【5】 rub against each other. How does friction help you move? When you walk, friction keeps your feet from slipping. When you hold a pencil, friction helps keep it in your h【6】. and friction makes the brakes on your bike work. too.

Inertia also helps you. Inertia is a sort of rule: it tells us two things; Things that are in movement will remain in movement until something stops them; and things that are at rest will stay at rest unless something moves them. When you ride your bike, it will keep going until you stop it, and when you sit down to read, you will stay where you are until you are r【7】 to move.

Next time you move, think about gravity, friction and inertia. All of them help to get you where you want to go.

① gravity n. 重力 ② friction n. 摩擦力 ③ inertia n. 慣性
