This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didnt have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter (直升飞机) was in 1909. Movies with sound were in 1926. The computer was in 1928. And jet planes were in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. By this time most people had a very good life, man has a desire to explore again. 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. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.31.

It acts like a mobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond (超出范围) the city walls, its useless.“Little Smart”, also called “xiaolingtong”, has always been compared to mobile phones. But in fact it is more like one of those cordless phones (无绳电话) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across a whole city.Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. Whats more, unlike mobile phones, theres no fee for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users.But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality. And there are not as many stations to pick up its signals as there are for mobiles. “I couldnt receive a phone call if I was on a bus,” said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. “It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.”Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more user-friendly (易操作的).
