But remember, the older you are, the more candles you have to blow out！ Candles are often used at parties and at other special times。 They give soft light at dinner parties。 They are also used at sad times after people die。 Years ago candles were burned to give light to homes. People making their homes in caves probably learned that animal fat could be coated on sticks and burned. Later just the fat was burned in holders to light up rooms. Next， people used long pieces of fat with a thin strip of cloth running through the center of each one, much like todays candles。 These old candles were made in different ways. Sometimes the strip of cloth or string was dipped over and over again into melted fat until the candle was the right size。 At other times the fat was poured over the string while the string was turned with the fingers。 At still other times the fat was poured into a form, or mold 模型 and the string was often pushed into the fat before it cooled. Today most candles are made in molds by machines. Many are colored. Some give off pleasant smells as they burn。 This is why some people like to use candles。 1.It is a_to make a wish and blow out the candles on ones birthday cake。 A）hobby B）custom C)useful D)necessary2。The second sentence in the first paragraph expresses a_。 A）factor B）fact C）truth D）belief 3。Candles are often used to_.

What causes it？ What can be done about a headache? What research is being done on headaches? The dictionary says simply that headache is a pain in the head. What most people mean by headache is a pain which lasts several minutes or hours. It covers the whole head， or one side of it, or perhaps the front or the back of the head。 Some other people would call any tight feeling in the head a headache. A headache is important because it can be the first warning of a serious condition which probably could be controlled if discovered early。 A headache is important also because it may produce a negative effect on normal， happy living. The worker with a headache does less work. He or she may make other workers or customers very unhappy, causing a direct or indirect loss to his or her organization. The mother with a headache suffers and puts family life in trouble. Her condition troubles the husband and children。 Rest， quiet, and fresh air stop many common headaches. Lying down and possibly falling asleep may help。Sometimes hunger may cause headaches. So its important to make a habit of having three meals a day at the right times.
