    Heinlein's first published stories appeared in the action-adventure magazine Astounding   Science Fiction in 1939.Under his influence writers started to examine how technology might   affect the everyday lives of ordinary people,and society in general.

    Heinlein produced fifty novels and collections of short stories during his career.One of his best-known works is the novel Stranger in a Strange Land,published inl961.A few years later it was adopted by the"Peace and Love"generation,and became the most successful       science-fiction novel ever published.Glory Road(1963),written in the tradition of Edgar Rice   Burroughs's Mars stories,is another of his most popular works. 
    Within the framework of his science fiction stories,Heinlein repeatedly addressed such   social themes as the importance of self-confidence and the duties each person owes to the   society.In his fiction,Heinlein coined words that have become part of the English language,including"grok"and"waldo".He also described a modern version of a"waterbed"in his novel The Door Into Summer and several of his works have been adapted for film and television.

10.Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels,yet no one knows exactiy when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for.we do know,however,that they existed over 5,500years ago in ancient Asia.
The oldest known.Transport wheel was discovered in 2002in slovenia.It is over 5.100years old.Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while,though.this couid be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.
But it could also be because of a difficult situation.while wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces,roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them.Eventually,road surfaces did become smoother,butthis difficult situation appeared againa few centuries later.There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design.
In the mid-1700s,a Frenchman came up with a new design of road-a base layer(层)of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones.A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong,lasting road surface became a reality.At amund the same time,metal hubs(the centrnl part of wheel)came into being,followed by theWheels were invented in 1967,sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(泊油路).As wheel design took off,vehicles got faster and faster.

    Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me,and they did!I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me.I hadn't turned 5 yet.

    In 1950,we moved back to Coeur d'Alene,but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.
