We know the famous ones—the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells—but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)? Shouldn’t we know who they are?

Joan Mclean thinks so.In fact,Mclean,a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range,feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic.In addition to learning “who” invented “what”,however,Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why’’ and ‘‘how” questions.According to Mclean,“When students learn the answers to these questions,they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.’’

Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean’s statement.“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper’s invention,”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major,“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.”Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.

So,just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well,Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar.Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield,she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a built—in device for cleaning the window.Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham,Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions.One of her ideas,a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.

Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.It’s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan’s traffic light.It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?

1. By mentioning “traffic light” and“ windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are _____.

A.beneficial,because their inventors are famous

B.beneficial,though their inventors are less famous

C.not useful,because their inventors are less famous

D.not useful,though their inventors are famous

2.Professor Joan McLean’s course aims to _____.

A.add color and variety to students’ campus life

B.inform students of the windshield wiper’s invention

C.carry out the requirements by Mountain University

D.prepare students to try their own inventions

3.Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was_____.

A.not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer

B.inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper

C.due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm

D.not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures

4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

A.How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers

B.How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window

C.Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper

D.Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities

There are some strange driving laws in different countries.

Countries

Laws

Vietnam

If you’re in Vietnam without a Vietnamese driver’s license, you risk a prison sentence of up to three years.

Russia

In Moscow, if your car is dirty enough to draw dust art, you will be fined about 2,000 rubles (about US 55 dollars). Worse yet, it’s illegal to wash your car by hand in public places – forcing you to take it to one of the few car wash facilities.

Thailand

Drivers – male or female – can’t drive shirtless whether it’s a car, bus, or a tuk-tuk cab.

My first visit to London was one and a half years ago. It was a wonderful trip. I stayed in the city for three weeks, and I had many impressions. I visited all the famous places. I'd like to tell you about some of the places I visited in this beautiful city.

First, I went to the Tower of London, and I want to say that it is a very interesting historical place. I found out that a long time ago, it was a prison. Later it became a castle for the royal(皇家的) family. Or maybe it is the reverse; I'm not sure, but later they left this place and lived in Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.

I also enjoyed visiting the House of Parliament and Westminster Abbey, two very popular places for tourists. They are very old and beautiful. The Abbey is built in a kind of Gothic style; it is fantastic.

In London, you can also enjoy nature. There are many parks such as Hyde Park, Green Park, and Holland Park. These parks are wonderful green, quiet places where you can relax and escape the noise of the city.

Trafalgar Square is a popular place for students and other young people. You will find lots of pigeons(鸽子) there. If you have time, you can feed them and they will be very happy. You can buy special food for them, but be careful! Tons of birds are going to surround you if you feed them.

Another very special place in London that I like is St. Paul's Cathedral which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. I also was impressed with the museums in London. They're very popular. I found them interesting because you can learn about the history of England.

I had a wonderful time in London. I really liked it because it is a city that is rich in history.

People who have the habit of texting (发短信) while walking tend to develop a robot-like posture, lose their balance, and involve themselves in traffic accidents, according to a research from the University of Queensland. Researchers said that text-walkers are in danger of walking into traffic and train tracks among others. They suggest pedestrians(行人)stop aside, type a text and then continue walking.

For the study, the researchers tracked body movements of 26 young men and women while walking in a straight line over a distance of about 8.5 m ---once without a mobile phone, once while reading a text message and once while typing a message.

They found that participants’ body movements were greatly changed when they used their phone. The difference in their posture was more prominent while sending a text than while reading a message. They further said that when those people began texting while walking, they slowed down their pace, went off course and moved their necks less than when reading a message.

“We found that they ‘locking’ their arms, trunk and head together walked with a posture that was robot-like, all in aid of keeping their phone in their field of vision. So there is less movement between each of their body parts.” Researcher Siobhan Schabrun said, Daily Mail UK reports.

“In recent years, there have been many reports of people involved in traffic accidents because they were texting while walking. The number of pedestrian accidents is rising and texting has been blamed,” Schabrun said.

Despite such repeated accidents, only few studies have analyzed the impact of texting on body language. If more studies concentrate on walking styles adopted while texting, their findings can be used to lower whole accidents.

While a few U.S. states have introduced laws on texting while driving, Fort Lee, a New Jersey town, went further ahead and recently fined some walkers an $85 for catching them texting. It is hoped that other American states and countries will follow.

1.How did the researchers carry out their research?

A. They called on most pedestrians.

B. They tried texting while they were walking.

C. They followed some pedestrians in the street.

D. They showed pedestrians the danger of texting.

2. The underlined word “prominent” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.

A. obvious B. important C. uncertain D. puzzling

3. When texting, the pedestrians walk in a different way to _____.

A. avoid losing their balance

B. attract other people’s attention

C. keep their eyes steady on the phone

D. take part in the study with the researchers

4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that texting while walking ______.

A. is not popular with many people

B. will make each American fined $85

C. will be punished in some states of America

D. has been forbidden in most American states

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Negative effects of texting.

B. Texting and traffic accidents.

C. Texting and people’s health.

D. Ways to avoid traffic accidents.
