Atoms are all around us. They are the bricks of which everything is made. Many millions of atoms are contained in just one grain of salt, but despite（尽管）their small size they are very important. The way an everyday object behaves depends on what kinds of atoms are in it and how they act. For instance, you know that most solid objects melt if they get hot enough. Why is this? It is the effect of the heat on the object’s atoms. All atoms move constantly. When they are hot, they move faster. Usually the atoms in an object hold together and give the object its shape. But if the object grows hot, its atoms move so fast that they break the force that usually holds them together. They move out of their usual places so that the object loses its shape. Then we say that the object is melting.

After moving to a small town, I took several pairs of shoes to the shoemaker to be fixed. Within a week I picked them up and put them away in my closet.
Four months later my husband and I were invited out to dinner. I unboxed a pair of high heels（高跟鞋）. I hadn’t worn them since they were repaired. I put one shoe on my right foot, and then I put the other on my left. I took both shoes off for a closer look. They were exactly the same style, colour and size, but each was for the right foot.
I was puzzled, since I had worn the shoes on several occasions and knew I hadn’t worn two right shoes. Then I thought of the shoemaker. Although I was sure he wouldn’t remember me after such a long time, I telephoned him and explained to him the trouble I had.
