He hoped to make a machine that 49 like a bird. Soon he took action and began to 50 birds carefully to learn how their wings worked.
Finally, he used what he had learned to build a plane. The body of the plane was made of two 51 side by side. The plane had a small motor (发动机) that sat between the two bikes. The back was shaped like a bird’s tail. The wings were 52 from those of a common plane. They could even be folded down like a bird’s wings. Amazing!
Victor wanted to help people with his ideas. His mind was like a motor that never shut off. He was always trying to make life better and 53 . He did not let any 54 stop him from making other things.

Some people think the greatest invention in the world is electricity, while others believe computers are the most 56 in modern society. But I think the invention of books is the greatest.
A famous person has ever said, “Books are the best 57 .” Exactly! That’s 58 I would like to say first. In the long history of humans, books have played an important part in spreading knowledge, and even today, the situation is 59 the same. Each year, millions of books are published (出版) in the world. Knowledge 60 our lives. People can make a difference by reading books. If a knowledgeable person wants to express some new ideas, he or she will probably choose to write a book.
Books provide us with 61 ideas. And we make our own decisions to choose any one that fits 62 . Or you may choose none of them, just like me, not following books' 63 .
Books are thought of as teachers without 64 . But how are books different from our real teachers I think the fact is that if a real teacher advises me to choose electricity or the computer as my topic today, you can imagine how much courage I will need to 65 . So don't you think it's more relaxing to choose books as your “teachers”

My love of building things began when I was a kid. It wasn’t until I 66 about Thomas Edison, though, that I really became excited about inventing.
When I was in fourth grade, our teacher gave us a 67 . We had to write to a company and learn about the products it made. I 68 the Thomas A．Edison Inc.
Soon 69 I wrote to the company, our postman sent a package to me. It contained (包含) a book about the life of Thomas Edison. How I 70 reading and rereading about his inventions! The ones that 71 me most were movies, recorded sound, and the incandescent bulb (白炽灯泡). Edison became my 72 .
My dad noticed my interest 73 inventing and he encouraged me. He showed me how to turn my ideas into plans and, finally, into new things.
Together, my dad and I repaired radios and televisions. Once, I made a (n) 74 to adjust (调整) the brakes (刹车) of our car. This surprised my dad so much. Later, we found a similar tool in a store. That’s when I learnt that 75 inventors often invent similar things. It is not 76 for this to happen. I also learnt that not all great ideas work. 77 is a common part of the inventing process.
As my father and I worked together, I began 78 that my dad was quite an inventor himself. 79 guiding hands, together with my interest in inventing, led me to become an engineer and inventor. But I am 80 to Thomas Edison, too, for first lighting that bulb inside me.

A long time ago, in a small town lived a boy named Chester. He loved skating in winter, but the 81 wind hurt his big ears badly.

Another 83 came to his mind soon. Chester searched through his drawer and found two socks. He tied them together with wire (电线). Then he tried on his invention. His ears felt warm, but when he skated, the socks kept falling off his ears. That didn’t 84 , either.
Chester then decided to make two wire circles and use smooth cloth to cover them. He realized that 85 would be perfect for keeping the ears warmer. Thinking of this, he asked his grandmother for 86 . She sewed (缝) the soft material on one side and the smooth cloth on the other. Chester was happy with the new ear warmers.
When Chester’s friends saw the new ear warmers, they 87 him. However, Chester didn’t mind. His ears were nice and warm though the wind was cold and strong. “Why not try them on ” he suggested 88 .
The ear warmers soon became 89 and everyone in his town loved them. Later, they called them earmuffs.

Another 96 is that she is a creative thinker. “After all, science is all about problem-solving,” Betty said.
Betty thinks the best part of her research is trying out an idea to see if it will work. Her heart is filled with joy when her idea is proved right and 97 by other scientists. But when things don’t go 98 as she plans, she feels no disappointment. She says mistakes may 99 a new idea.

What do you want your phone to look like Do you want a phone that looks like your school lunch 101 It seems that a lot of students are interested in getting one. It all 102 with a video on Xiaohongshu where an 18-year-old high school student called Liu Yiyang from Guangdong 103 his cool invention. Many people wanted to buy it from him or 104 a tutorial (指导).
Besides 105 music at school as his main subject, Liu is a “part-time inventor”.
“When I was little, I would watch invention shows with my grandfather,” he said. “I used to be 106 about making things. It was what I liked best.”
Liu also 107 a video online where he shows how he “puts” the lunch card chip (芯片) into his arm. He wondered whether it was really possible for chips to be put into human 108 in the future. “Seeing that everyone wanted a tutorial, I made one 109 and shared a video on my Xiaohongshu,” Liu said.
However, Liu found out that the idea could also have a 110 influence on young people. He once talked to a primary school student about the lunch card phone. The student planned to use one in class and hoped his 111 wouldn’t realize what it was. “I canceled all the 112 ,” Liu said. “I made a decision not to sell any of them. Now I only 113 the phones I have already made as a memory of my work.”
This situation made Liu reflect on the role of technology. “Every coin has two 114 . As inventors, we should consider not only the advantages of what we create, but also the disadvantages.” Liu said 115 . Now, Liu is working on another invention that he hopes can help the medical industry. He wants to make the world a more convenient place through his effort.

AI Predicts Forest Fires
Reshma first moved to California in 2018. At that time smoke from a forest fire made the air 146 to breathe. It was so bad that she had to wear a 147 for over a month! Firefighters put out the fire finally, but it got Reshma thinking—when there is 148 one

Then, she put together the weather data (数据), such as temperature, wind speed and humidity (湿度), with information about human activities. With the data Reshma made an Al system that could predict forest fires with almost 90% accuracy (准确度)!
Amazingly, Reshma’s AI system is now being used by firefighters in California! 151 her AI system, they 152 predict where and when forest fires will break out. They can 153 the scene of the fire more quickly, save more lives and cut down on toxic (有毒的) smoke that the fire makes.
Because of the AI system, Reshma 154 the Children’s Climate Prize 2021 and 8,000. “I think making the system into an app would be the next step,” Reshma says 155 . “Then people all over the world would be able to use it.”
