Water is a big part of our world. We use it every day for many things. We drink it, we wash in it, and we swim in it for exercise. But would you ever ① think of water as being something powerful?
②James Watt thought ______. Watt was a British inventor. He was born in 1736 and died in 1819. Here is a story from his childhood.

James' grandmother didn't listen. ③她正忙着做饭。James looked at the kettle and noticed it moving. “What's in the kettle, Grandma?” he asked.
“④Just water,” she told him.
⑤“But Grandma, there's something else ______. It's making the lid move.”
His grandmother stopped cooking and laughed. “It's steam. It's made by the water,”she said.
