On a hot day, the metal expands and if it 【B3】 to do this, the rails would bend 【B4】 shape.

    When a solid gets colder, it becomes smaller in 【B13】 We can make use of the 【B14】 that solids expand when they 【B15】 , and become smaller in size then they 【B16】 colder.
    For example, when an iron band has to fit tightly round a wooden wheel, first we make it 【B17】 than the wheel, then we 【B18】 it, so that it goes on 【B19】 . When it gets colder, it becomes smaller in size and 【B20】 the wheel very tightly.
