Over the years，teens have invented excellent things that solve problems and have changed the ways people do things.Take fourteen-year-old Eliott Sarrey for example. He invented Bot2Karot，a gardening robot that can take care of a small vegetable garden. The robot is controlled by an app on a smartphone. It helps people grow and take care of vegetables. It also saves water and energy，and makes gardening easy for people who are very busy or have difficulty getting around. Brooke Martin is an animal lover who missed her dog when she was away. So she invented iCPooch when she was just twelve years old. The iCPooch lets pet owners check on their pets from anywhere in the world using a smartphone. It also allows owners to use their smartphone cameras to video chat with their pets.Fourteen-year-old inventor Robert Saunt was tired of buying or borrowing different video-game controllers for each game console(操控器 ) . So he invented a controller called Game Blox. It can be used with four of the most popular game consoles. His invention will save players a lot of money and space，and it will save 330 million kg of materials every year.Kids all over the world find ways to solve problems every day. Who knows?Maybe the next time you have a problem，youll come up with the next amazing idea!46 .

According to the passage，Robert Saunt _.Ais an animal loverBwas tired of playing gamesCinvented a controllerDhelps with gardeningSome inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post- it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there, are an example of such an invention.Post-it Notes were invented 20 years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Company. The idea came from a frustrating experience while singing. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it without damaging the pages.Around that time, Fry heard that his workmate, Dr. Spence Silver had created a new adhesive (粘合剂) which was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the top of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.Later, Fry realized that his new invention can also be used as a great bookmark. He came to this idea when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks” and attached it to a report he was going to give to a workmate. Soon, the workmate asked Fry for more samples of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.49 . The invention of Post-it Notes showed that Art Fry.Ahad a lot of knowledgeBwas very hard-workingCwas good at creative thinkingDloved his job in the church50 . In what way did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?AThey worked together and often discussed science.BHis invention of a special adhesive made Arts invention possible.CHe persuaded 3M Company to give away lots of Post-it Notes for trial use.DHe cooperated with Art by providing the new adhesive for Art.51 .

What does the underlined part mean?AThe products started to leave the ground.BThe products disappeared from the market.CThe products had even more uses.DThe products became popular very quickly.53 . The biggest advantage of Post-it Notes is that .Ait can leave no sign when removedBit is very cheap to useCit is good to write notes onDit is very thin and beautifulColoring is an activity that children worldwide have long enjoyed. With a picture already made for them, kids simply chose a crayon,pencil or marker of their favorite color and fill it in. Today, it also becomes more and more popular among teenagers and even adults, who are enjoying relaxing hours of coloring. In December, five of the top ten best-selling books in the United States were coloring books.They are fun,but are coloring books good for you?The good feedback(反馈)from customers is encouraging. Trina Lucida, a popular artist creating coloring books, says that many of her customers are buying the coloring books for others who are sick or going through a hard time. She adds that the big idea behind her latest book is to encourage people to do something creative.Lucida is right,according to Allan Rohan,a psychology(心理学)professor. Many customers think of coloring books as a new creative stage, he said in an interview,but whats more important is that people spend time coloring in order to reduce stress after a long day. Research shows that coloring can reduce stress by guiding people to focus on(专注)one simple task. When a person is filling in a flower with a light purple color,he focuses on the flower and forgets about all his troubles in life.Experts add that coloring may relieve a certain kind of pain. Doing the coloring helps people relax their mind and calm down. Also,coloring helps peoples brain in a healthy way. The shape of the drawing makes one side of the brain active, while the color of the drawing improves the other. Coloring can bring out your imagination and take you back to your childhood. Interesting,isnt it?Its very relaxing, said Susan Jackson,a big fan of Lucidas coloring books. Coloring frees my mind. And its not just to try to fill blank(空白的)pages. The pictures make me happy and there is just something about them. So Im saving the pictures I like best to the very end.54 .
