     There have been many great inventions  that changed the way we live.  The first great invention was
one that is still very important today - the wheel. This invention made it easier to carry heavy things and
to travel long distances.
     In the early 1800s the world started to change.  There was little unknown land in the world. People
began to work to make life better.
     In the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the cameras and the light
bulbs. There were more great inventions  in the early  20th  century,   such as  the  helicopters in 1907,
movies with sound in 1910 and jet planes in the 1930s. This was also a time when a new material was
first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.
     By this time most people have had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore more.  The world
was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made
the first step. Since then other countries, including the United States and China,  have made their steps
into space.
     In 1969 man took his biggest step. An American first walked on the moon.  This  is certainly just a
beginning. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.

     As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up.  There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its
simple beauty,  it was very happy.  Around it were other dewdrops,  some on the same leaf and some on
other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
     Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
     The  wind  blew  and  the plant began to shake,  tipping  (使倾斜)  the leaf . The  dewdrop  became
