There have been many great inventions, which have changed the way we live. The first great invention was    1     that is still very important today—the wheel(轮子). This made it easier to    2     heavy things and to travel long distances.

For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have as much   3   as the wheel. Then in the early 1800’s the world started to    4    . There was little unknown land in the world. People did not    5     to explore any more. They began to work so as to

    6    life better.

In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. 　　7     them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big   8     of our life today.

The first part of the 20th century saw more great    9    : the helicopter in 1909; movies with sound in 1926; the computer in 1928; and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time    10 

a new material was first made. Nylon came   11     in 1935. It changed the   12     of clothes people had been wearing.

The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over   13    .

They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live    14     lives. By the 1960’s most people could    15     to live at least 60.

By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions    16     to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was 　　17    to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into    18    . Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries,    19     China and Japan have made their steps into space.

In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a 　　20     thought. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.

　　It is well known of the 　11　of a possible earthquake,and for centuries man has been making researches(研究) on earthquakes.More than 2000 years ago, 　12　,a Chinese scientist named Zhang Heng 　13 a machine which could detect(发觉) earthquakes,and this machine is still 　14　by scientists today to detect and measure the 　15　of earthquakes.Now we know much more about earthquakes and 　16　they happen,but we still 　17　tell exactly when and where an earthquake will happen, 　18 cannot stop it from happening.So earthquakes are 　19　the worst disasters(灾难)in the world.

　　No one can stop 　20　earthquakes.However,scientists can 　21　stop earthquakes destroying whole cities and causing too many deaths.In those 　22　where earthquakes often happen,they 　23　mountain temperatures and take 　24　from the air and if anything starts to happen ,they warn governments to be prepared for 　25　disasters so that emergency(紧急) plans are put into action to lessen(减少) the disaster,probably saving many lives.
