But in fact, almost everyone can invent. Its just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they dont let them slip away.For example, the inventors of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.Like Cochranes, most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem. Start by looking at what is wrong with things you see now and ask people around if they remember ever saying, I wish someone would invent something for. Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement. The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of many, varied, and unusual ways. You can often come up with a solution to a problem by looking at it from a different angle thinking about it in a new way.Most inventions are not completely new. They do not come out of nowhere, but of things or ideas that already exist. (存在). And the hardest part of inventing, even for a lot of inventors, is coming up with a problem and finding a solution. Once you have an idea, you can always get help building your invention.This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world?64. Can most people invent?65. When did Cochrane start to make the dishwasher?66. How can we often come up with a solution for a problem?67. What is the hardest part of inventing for inventors?68. What does the writer want to tell us?Key:64. Yes.65. When she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke.66.You can often come up with a solution to a problem by looking at it from a different angle thinking about it in a new way.67.The hardest part of inventing is coming up with a problem and finding a solution.68.

They are the beautiful half-human, half-fish creatures(生物).They have the head and body of a human and the tail of a fish. We also know that mermaids only exist in fairy tales. But where did all the stories about these creatures come from? If you have ever seen a manatee, then you might have an idea.Manatees, which are also called sea cows, are mammals(哺乳动物)that live in the sea. Since they are mammals, they have to swim up to the surface to breathe air. Many people believe that the story of the mermaid began with the ancient sailors who saw the manatees putting their heads out of the water to breathe. Because manatees are upright when they do this, it looks like they are standing. If a sailor saw a manatee doing this from far away across the sea, it is possible that the sailor would mistake the manatee for a creature that is half-human, half-fish.Mermaids are described as having very long hair. This is probably because manatees like to swim up to the surface of the water in areas where there is sea grass. Manatees eat all kinds of plants in the sea, including sea grass. The sea grass around the manatees heads when they eat could create a picture of long hair.Manatees also have powerful tails that are very similar to the fish-like tail of a mermaid. The sailors probably watched manatees come up for air and then swim back below the surface, using their paddle-shaped tails. This would explain why the sailors thought mermaid had fish-like tails.64.What are mermaids?65.Where do manatees live?66.Do manatees need to breathe air out of water?67.What do manatees eat?68.Why did the ancient sailors mistake manatees for mermaids?Key:64. They are the beautiful half-human, half-fish creatures.65. In the sea.66. Yes.67. They eat all kinds of plants in the sea.68. When manatees were seen from distance, their heads looked human-like, the sea grass around their heads looked like long hair, and they swam with their paddle-shaped tails.British band “Duran Duran” is going to be the first pop group to perform online concerts on the online game Second Life.Second Life is an online 3-dimensional, digital world, which is imagined, created and owned by the playerspeople all over the world.It is thought that 370,000 computer game players worldwide have Second Life characters that exist in the Second Life world, on the Internet.Earlier this year, BBC Radio held music festivals and played an interview from inside the game.In May of 2006, it held a music festival in Scotland, but also created a festival inside the Second Life game so that people all over the world could take part in their computers.One of the members of the band, Nick Rhodes, told the BBC News website: “When I first saw Second Life a few months ago, I couldnt believe my eyes. When I started looking at the people on screen, talking, walking around and doing normal things, I thought this is somewhere between a strange TV show, a strange experience and a video game. I wanted “Duran Duran” to be part of it.” Each band member has a 3-dimensional person and it is hoped they will do their first online concert soon. The audience will be able to join in and react (反应) while the band is on stage.Rhodes said new technologies like Second Life will become more and more important in the music industry in the future.The number of people joining the Second Life is growing quickly. Some computer experts said it probably would be the Next Big Thing in the future.64. Is Second Life an online game?65. What did BBC Radio create inside the Second Life?66.

This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather borrow than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students get passing grades in the class and also pass their state drivers exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, maths, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, clothes making and other classes. In some schools students are asked to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.The school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students take part in after-school activities. These activities include sports - especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, and photography and student government. (306)64.

They do / have / take part in after-school activities.68. School size, transport, subjects, and after-school activities. Some students like to translate when they practice speaking English. Translation is a very difficult exercise. During a conversation, we dont really have time to translate what we understand. When we use translation, we dont develop the necessary reflexes(反应力)needed to speak and understand a foreign language.It is important to build up reflexes right from the beginning. It will help you later when your skills are good enough to take a conversation.Then how do you build up reflexes when you only have basic words and grammar? Can it be done? Of course! Here is some advice for you.Relax!No one is checking you except yourself! Look at each communication experience as an adventure. Try to relax first when you speak English.
