Slowly but surely, Amy and her grandparents were making progress. Boxes of all sizes were placed on top of each other throughout the house. Amy's grandparents had lived in the house for years and they had collected many things.
The dining room was foil of memories. Amy's grandfather kept many fine dinner plates (盘子)from his hometown. Amy remembered that they ate from the red, yellow, and blue plates during important holidays.
After carefully wrapping up (包裹)the plates and putting them into a box, Amy lifted it up and moved it out of the way. But the box was too heavy. It suddenly fell from her arms and dropped to the floor. All three of them heard the plates shatter.
"I'm sorry!" Amy apologised.
"It's okay," her grandfather said quietly. "It was an accident? "
They opened the box and, sure enough, many of the plates were broken. Only a few remained whole. Looking at the small pieces, Amy felt really terrible. She knew these plates were passed down from her great grandparents and ...
“Don’t worry,” her grandmother said, patting her on the back. Carefully, they put the broken pieces into a rubbish bag.
They continued packing for a little while, but Amy still felt very sorry. She was trying very hard to think of a way to make it up for her grandparents.
Soon, Amy’s father came.
"I have to go," she said. "Dad is here to pick me up."
She kissed her grandparents both, picked up the bag of the broken pieces and left.
“What's that?” her father asked, as Amy climbed into the car.
Amy looked at the bag in her hands as an idea came to her, "This," she said, "is an art project?,
The following day, Amy went to an art store and bought everything she needed. Then she started to work. She used a thin board as the base. Then she took out the colourful plate pieces and glued them in a creative way on the board. When it was dry, Amy wrapped it up.
A few days later, Amy's family had a big dinner at her grandparents’ new house. She handed her gift to her grandparents.

①Chemistry is everywhere in our daily life.Sometimes it's easy to see.At other times,it can be very hard to see the everyday chemistry at work,but nearly everything you touch has some chemicals(化学物质) in it.
