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.
②Chemistry helps to make products for use.Something as simple as toothpaste has at least three chemicals that keep your teeth clean.Other things in your daily life are created by chemistry,such as hair products and soap.Without chemistry,we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes.
③Chemistry also helps us understand the world around us.Thanks to chemistry,we know bleach (漂白剂) can't be mixed with vinegar (醋),because the mixture can produce harmful gas.
④Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation.Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change.That is why cooked food often tastes different from uncooked food.Too much or too little of any chemical material makes a difference to the result of baking (烘焙).For example,the cake can be too soft or too hard.
⑤Chemistry isn't something that just lives in a laboratory,it's something that you meet hundreds of times in life.Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the life.

Thousands of years ago, Shennong, who had an ox(牛)head and human body, lived in the south of ancient China. Seeing that local people were suffering from disease, he built ladders(梯子)and houses on a high mountain to store medical plants. To remember him, people named the place Shennongjia.
The story makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. Traveling there is a quite different experience, as you can see sceneries(风景)of the four seasons from different height."When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice," local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.
Shennongjia is also home to 5,000kinds of animals and plants. Many rare animals live there, such as the golden monkey and the Asian black bear.
One intersting thing about Shennongjia is its story of wild men. Some people said that they saw big foot marks. Yet so far, scientists haven't proved(证实)it is true and some say they are just bears.
