Unit 7 A Little Science Works a Lot of Magic 小科學大妙用 Reading Things often have more uses than you could ever imagine. Some common items that we use every day can seem to perform magic when you know how to use them. Take sugar cubes, for example. You can add one to coffee or tea to make the drink sweet. However, most people don’t know that there’s another thing that sugar cubes can do—keep cookies crisp! 東西的用途經常超乎想像。有些日常用品，若知道其用途，幾乎像會變魔術一般。以方糖為例。你可在咖啡或茶中加一顆方糖增加其甜度。然而，大部分的人不知道方糖還有其它用途保持餅乾的脆度。Just prepare two jars of cookies, and put several sugar cubes into one of the jars. After two weeks, you will find that the cookies in the jar with the sugar cubes in it are crisper than those cookies in the other jar. 只要準備兩罐餅乾，一罐裡面放幾顆方糖。兩星期後，你會發現有方糖的罐子中的餅乾比另一罐的餅乾脆。It’s an easy way to keep cookies crisp, isn’t it?

Have you ever stained your desk with markers or correction fluid by accident? When you have difficulty removing the stains with tissues, rags, or even your bare hands, what else can you do? Try using some oil or citrus peel! 如果你的朋友對方糖的神奇之處印象不深刻的話，試試下面這個把戲：利用油或柑橘果皮來去除馬克筆或立可白造成的污漬。你曾不小心將馬克筆或立可白劃到書桌上嗎？當你無法用衛生紙、抹布、甚至徒手去除這些污漬時，你還能怎麼辦？試試用一些油或柑橘果皮吧！Believe it or not, baby oil, medicated oil, or even oil from potato chips can help remove stubborn stains effectively. Just follow these steps. First, prepare some baby oil. Then, put a few drops of the oil on the stain. Two minutes later, gently wipe up the oil and the stain with some tissues. Amazingly, the stained
