A team of professional researchers were trying to learn more about the fish and other animals that live in this part of the sea. The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore(海岸) and we spent three days on a boat.The team used a piece of underwater equipment to collect information. This underwater equipment is called a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). The ROV could measure water depth and temperature and it also had a camera that sent live film back to the boat. The ROV was great fun. It was controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times.However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water. At first, I was quite frightened mainly because I couldnt see land in any direction. But as soon as I jumped into the water, I wasnt afraid anymore. It was amazing to see the colourful fish swimming around and I could see all the way to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 metres down.I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects. The team were very friendly and everyone was happy to explain what they knew about the sea. It was a great opportunity and it has made me think about my goals in life. The experience will surely encourage me to work harder to become a scientist.61.

But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather report before heading out should result in you getting wet. To protect people from the rain, he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella. The designer says he comes up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be all right to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said. The lampbrella is a street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella in need. Sensors(传感器)then make sure that the umbrella offers the walkers whenever it starts raining. In addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360 motion sensor on the street lamp which finds out whether anyones using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed. According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a low speed, so as not to cause harm to the walkers. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough protection for several people. Being fixed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of walkers. While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be fixed on my street where a lot of people walk. 64.

But in fact, most people can invent. Its just that they do not know that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they dont let them go away. For example, the inventor 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 started 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 use 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（解决方案）. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of many and unusual ways. You can often come up with a solution for a problem by 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 method can also work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relation 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.

Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why dont you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better, so farmers will have a good harvest.Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure(失败) cant be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic(乐观的) attitude life is easy and pleasant.
