They help us live a better life.
Of all the inventions， I think the mobile
phone is the greatest and the most useful invention.
The mobile phone has many functions. We can make phone calls to our
family or friends anytime and anywhere. We can surf the Internet，
listen to pop songs and watch films on it. What’s more， we can use it to
take photos. I almost use it every day. It’s really convenient. Without it，
I feel uncomfortable.
I think it makes our life better and better.

We all know that paper-making， gun-powder， the compass and
printing are the four great inventions of ancient China. But have you heard
of another important invention—the abacus（算盘）？
It’s said that Li Shou invented the abacus. 1 Some researchers
believe the abacus has a longer history than the other calculators（计算器）
in the world. In China， people used abacuses to do calculations for
thousands of years before using electronic calculators in daily lives.

2 It has many beads（珠子）. Each bead above stands for five，
and each bead below stands for one. By moving the beads up or down， one
can do all kinds of calculations.
It is a joy to watch a skilled person use an abacus. Fingers move， beads
knock， and after a few seconds， the result comes out. 3 So it was
taught in many schools. Wherever there was a need for calculations， an
abacus would come into sight.
一
二
三
Today， because we are used to using electronic calculators， we don’t
have many chances to see an abacus in our daily lives. 4 However， the
abacus still plays an important role in certain situations.
The abacus is one of the most important inventions in Chinese history. It
used to make a big difference to Chinese people’s lives. 5 It is our
national treasure. It is one of the reasons why we are proud of China.
