            AProper Care and Use of a Microscope

    A microscope is a useful instrument for observing small objects. It shows people the details that are undetectable when they observe with their own eyes. Before using the microscope, please read the instruction below. 

Caution: 

Microscopes are both delicate and expensive, and must be handled with care. 

1.Always carry the microscope with two hands—one supporting the base and the other on the arm.

2.Keep the stage clean and always use a glass slide for specimens, the things tested or examined.

3.To avoid pressing the glass slide when focusing, begin with the lens (镜头) close to the specimen and gradually back off to focus.

4.Keep the microscope covered to prevent the buildup of dust while it is being stored.

How to Use the Microscope: 

1. Plug in the lamp.

2.Place a specimen on a slide.

3.Adjust the mirror so it reflects light from the room up into the objective lens.

4.Place your slide with the specimen directly over the center of the glass circle on the stage. If it is a wet slide, be sure the bottom of the slide is dry. 

5.With the LOW POWER objective lens placed over the slide, use the coarse focus knob to lower the lens to the lowest point. 

6.Look through the eyepiece with one eye while closing the other eye. Slowly raise the lens until the focus is relatively clear.

7.Use the fine focus knob to make very small changes to the focus. 

8.Without changing the focus knobs, switch to the HIGH POWER objective lens. Once you haveswitched to HIGH POWER, use only the fine focus knob to make the image sharper.

When using a microscope, you should use a glass slide for specimens to ______.

                                 Gift Idea

    The other day I was shopping for Grandma when I realized I had no gift ideas at all. It was not a birthday gift or anything like that. It was simply sort of a hello gift. That is how we do things in my family. We don’t really give gifts for special occasions. Instead, we occasionally just give presents to each other to tell other people that we are thinking about them. 

    That was why I wanted a gift for Grandma. But it was like my imagination had dried up. I have gone through all of the gift ideas in previous years, fruits, wines, cheeses, little handmade crafts, and anything else that you can give to a grandmother. I had even given her gift watches, and CDs. What else was there? 

    I have always found gift ideas for men a little bit easier than for women, because for men, you can always get the usual things, such as video games, power tools and things like that. With a woman’s gift idea, however, you have to know more about her. You cannot just get someone a book or a CD. You have to know all about her taste in movies, music, and literature. 

    My grandmother likes to read a lot, but what she likes is always pretty popular. I didn’t want to get her a book that she might not like, but I was running out of time. I needed a gift idea for this weekend and went to visit her. After all, I hadn’t seen her for a long time. I wanted to give her a gift so she would not feel ignored. 

    Finally, I came up with the perfect gift idea. I made a collection of all the stories I had written in the past year. It wasn’t a typical gift idea like a bunch of flowers, but it really worked in the situation. You see, I am a writer and my grandma has always been my fan. Anyway, I had been learning about bookbinding recently, and had pretty much mastered the art. I figured that I would add a little bit of handmade artwork to the stories, bind it altogether, and give it to her. It took hours to complete, but it was well worth the effort. She absolutely loved it.

The writer chose a gift for Grandma to _____.

    Dogs already guide blind and disabled people and now they are to be trained to help people with dementia. The idea developed by some university students will now be put into practice by Scotland Medical Center. The research is meaningful, for there are 670,000 people in Britain who have dementia and by 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.

    Dementia can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water. The dogs would be trained to help to guide them through the day. Joyce Gray from Scotland Medical Center said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help them to maintain routine.” For example, people with memory loss will tend to forget to take medicine, “but if a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, there’s a greater chance of them taking it.” Ms. Gray also said dogs were perfectly suited to remind their owners to eat. “Dogs have an ability to say ‘it’s my feeding time’, so there would be a note in the cupboard next to the dog’s food reminding the dog’s owner to eat too.”

    The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks. “It gives a reason for the owner to go out into the community,” Ms. Gray said. “We did a test with an elderly person walking down the high street on his own. Then we gave him a dog on a lead and he did the exact same walk. That time people would come up to him, chatting or smiling and making eye contact. We hope we’d see this with people with dementia too.”

    There is one more advantage of using the pets as companions. Since conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with dementia, dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. Ms. Gray said, “We have found that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. People light up when they see animals. There is a speechless bond between the dog and its owner.”

    Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls’ sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. Actually, competitive cheerleading is a sport. 

     A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent, governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants.” Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.

     Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn to tumble(翻滚). They perform lifts and tosses. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. 

     Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.
        Competitive cheerleaders’ goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation, first place is out of reach.
        Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because they do not wear protective gear. While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliers must remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely. Also, because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space is available. More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.
       So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? Some people argue that cheerleaders are just “flirts in skirts” with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes.
       Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.

  What does the underlined word “bases” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
