How Does a Thermometer Work? A thermometer is a

gadget that measures the

temperature of things.

You can use it to tell the

temperature inside or outside

your house or inside your

oven, or the temperature

of your body if you're sick.

Many people use them

nowadays but not many

know how they work. Here is

a simple explanation.

There is usually a bulb at the

base of the thermometer

with a long glass tube

stretching out above it.

The red or silver line in the

middle of the thermometer

moves up or down depending

on the temperature. This

liquid is sometimes colored

alcohol but can also be a

metallic liquid called mercury.

Both mercury and alcohol

increase in volume when

heated and get smaller when

cooled. Inside the glass

tube of a thermometer, the

liquid has no place to go but

up when the temperature

is hot and

down when the

temperature is

cold.

Numbers that mark

the temperature are

placed alongside the glass

tube to match up with the

top of the liquid when

it is that temperature.

Thermometers measure

temperatures in Fahrenheit,

Celsius and another scale

called Kelvin, used mostly by

scientists.

What makes something Mexican and something

else completely British? How is culture defined? I

have been to both Mexico and the UK and believe

that culture is not only expressed through the art,

theater and music of a country, but through the

society’s attitudes, beliefs, food, annual public

holidays and special events. Culture defines a

country and breathes color and life into a place,

illustrating what uniquely makes the country its

own. Overall, culture in Mexico and the UK can be

summed up in their values, customs and beliefs,

which is shown through their annual celebrations,

food, art, religion and ways of living over a period of

time. While Mexico celebrates the Day of the Dead,

the UK celebrates Halloween, just as Christmas

presents are opened in the early morning of

Christmas Day in Britain, but on January 6th

(Epiphany) in Mexico. Our rituals and the way we

do things as a country define our culture.

Appreciation of both worlds is vital to truly absorb

and learn about a new place unlike your own.

1. The author believes Mexican and British culture are similar. T F

2. The author has visited both places. T F

26. Read and complete the sentences using the words from the box.

aggressive attitude authorities teachers victims

Bullies usually pick on someone because there is something different about their victim,

e.g. they may be physically different, wear different clothes or like different music.

There are several reasons why bullies pick on people:

• Some bullies are looking for attention, and they think bullying is a way to be popular. • Other bullies are insecure. They want to feel important, and when they pick on

someone else, it makes them feel powerful.

• Some bullies come from families where everyone is angry and shouting all the time,

and they think it is a normal way to act.

• Some bullies pick on their victims for no reason at all.

The good news is that bullies can learn to change their behavior: • Teachers can help bullies understand that their behavior benefits nobody.

• Other kids can set an example by treating everyone fairly and with respect.

• Schools can stop bullying by suspending or expelling bullies.
