　　Take any long piece of paper. Now glue(粘合) the ends of the paper together. You have made a ring.

　　Take a second long piece of paper. Twist(扭转) the paper once and glue the ends together. Now you have made a Mobius band(带). For people who study math, this band is unusual.

　　This band was first made in the 1800s by a German man named August Mobius. Mr. Mobius studied math. He wanted to find a way to show how this band works with math. Believe it or not, this band has only one surface. You can find this out for yourself.

　　If you draw a line on the surface of the paper before you twist and glue it, the line is only on side of the paper. The paper has two surfaces. But if you draw a line after you make the Mobius band, you can follow the line around all sides of the paper. In other words, the Mobius band must have only one surface.

　　It’s a kind of fun to see what happens when you cut the band. If you cut the Mobius band in half once down the line you draw, you don’t get two Mobius bands. Instead, after you cut the band, it turns into one large twisted ring. Then, if you cut the band again, you get two connected(联结)Mobius bands.　 Try it!
