information? Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world? Is it the car that lets us
travel at great speeds to meet others? Umberto Eco, an Italian writer, thinks it is something quite
different. He says the most important invention might be bright in front of your eyes. He is talking about
a simple pair of glasses.
Modern eye glasses were invented around 1000 years ago. They were more than just a convenient way
to lead. Before glasses were invented, writers, scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to
memorize everything. After about ten years of poor eyesight, they could not remember well enough and
could not work. Glasses meant that people could work in their old age.
People who wanted to remember some information could write it down and read it. Eye glasses are one
of the world's greatest inventions and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephone
and the first car.

Most supermarkets in China provided free plastic bags. It was convenient for people to do shopping,
but things changed. To protect the environment, supermarkets all over China stopped providing free plastic
bags from June 1, 2008. If you don't want to pay money to buy them, you'll have to bring your own
shopping bags.
What can we use to hold things we buy from shops? Students at Qing-shan Middle School had some
good ideas. One idea was making different kinds of eco-shopping bags. 54 students at that school made their
own eco-shopping bags. They held an eco-shopping bag show last Friday afternoon. Many students made the
bags with used clothes. They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them. Some bags were made of used
materials like used paper, old newspapers. Some were made of eco-materials like bamboo.
A boy student, Wang Lin, made his bag with several old newspapers. We asked him whether the bag was
strong enough. Wang Lin said it was."No problem. I took six bottles of water in the bag from the shop to my
home yesterday evening," he said."I think it's strong enough to hold even ten bottles of water."
Fang Yuanyuan, a girl student, had a more traditional way to make her bag-a bamboo basket."It was a
hard job," she said. "With my grandfather's help, I spent a whole afternoon making it."
The students also asked their parents and friends to use eco-shopping bags instead of plastic ones. Next
Saturday afternoon, the school will hold another eco-shopping bag show to help shops and stores get ideas
from the students' work.
