Try rubbing (摩擦) the tip of your finger backwards and forwards very quickly on your coat or a blanket. It should become hot. In cold weather we sometimes rub our hands together to make them warm. The rubbing of two together which causes heat is called \摩擦 力). In the same way, people who lived in caves rubbed a piece of wood shaped like a pencil on another piece of wood with dried leaves or grass packed nearby. The heat set the leaves or grass alight. This was a difficult way of making fire. Better ways were found by using flint(火石),but it was not until 1827 that the first matches were made in England.

Chemists made up a mixture and put it on an end of a stick or match. The mixture contained a small amount of phosphorous (磷),a chemical that bursts into flame when heated slightly. The other chemicals then caught fire and burned less fiercely until the wood was alight. By rubbing the end of the match, on sandpaper, the friction easily set the phosphorous alight. These first matches could also be struck on other rough surfaces, including the leather sole(底)of a shoe.

At the time, everyone thought this was a wonderful invention. Unfortunately accidents happened. A whole box of matches would suddenly catch fire if it was heated. Imagine this happening to someone warming themselves by a fire with a box of matches in his or her pocket! Even loose matches in a handbag or pocket could rub together and catch fire.

What was needed was a match that would only light if struck on a special surface. In 1852,the safety match was invented in Sweden. No phosphorous was used in the match head-it was put on the

outside of the matchbox instead. This made it impossible for the match to light unless it was rubbed along the box on the special surface which contained sandpaper mixed with a little phosphorous. 33. Why did people use dried leaves or grass to pack another piece of wood? A. The leaves or grass is easy to be alight. B. The leaves or grass covered the wood well. C. The leaves or grass help the air cause heat. D. The leaves or grass acted as the role of match. 34. What did the chemists make the match of in 1827? A. Leather sole, sandpaper and leaves. B. Wood, leather sole and sandpaper. C. Phosphorous, wood and sandpaper. D. Phosphorous , sandpaper and flint. 35. If we used the safety match, we could see A. loose matches could catch fire fiercely B. phosphorous wasn't needed inside matchboxes C. there were matches and sandpaper in matchboxes D. the special surface containing sandpaper and phosphorous
