五、阅读理解。
请阅读下面的非连续性文本，按要求完成所给任务。
Glasses are one of the most important inventions in human history.They help people with eye problems to see clearly.However，it took a long time for glasses to grow into the form we know today.
The idea of using glass to see clearly was likely first suggested by a 10th century Arab scientist.His idea，though，wasn't put into practice until 300 years later.Italian monks in the 13th century developed glass that made letters look larger when placed before them.
The next important development came from glass makers near Venice.They placed two lenses in wooden rings and connected the rings together.Over time，glasses were made with different designs.But the most meaningful improvement came in the 18th century with the creation of glasses with temples and a nose bridge.These glasses rested on one's face and were much more comfortable and convenient to use.They also act just as much as a fashion.Different styles have appeared in modern times，giving people the ability to express a different look.
Glasses are also used to protect our eyes，like sunglasses.They protect our eyes from blinding light of the sun.Amazingly，there are glasses which help blind people see nowadays！These special glasses use smart cameras that send pictures to screens.They can even give blind people better vision (视力) than others around them，as users can control the color，brightness，and size of the images (影像) they see.
Why wear sunglasses
☆Sunglasses could prevent 98 to 99% of UV rays.
☆Polarized sunglasses (偏光太阳镜) make people see clearly.
☆Polarized lenses should be replaced (替换) every or two years.
☆About 40% of people wear sunglasses in the U．S. for health reasons.
☆Polarized sunglasses are popular for hunting，fishing，golfing，and driving.
From reading stones to modern day medical glasses，the history of glasses has been a long and interesting one.What's more，it is clear that our need for them will never disappear.
24．Why are glasses one of the most important inventions
_______________________________________________________________________
25．Who first put glasses into practice in history
_______________________________________________________________________
26．When did glasses with temples and a nose bridge appear
________________________________________________________
27．According to the passage，how do glasses help blind people see better
_______________________________________________________________________
Because they help people with eye problems to see clearly.
The Italians./The Italian monks.
By controlling the color，brightness，and size of the images they see.
In the 18th century.
28．What should you do if you have a pair of polarized sunglasses
_______________________________________________________________________
29．Would you like to wear a pair of glasses？Why or why not
_______________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
I should replace the polarized lenses every or two years.
Yes，I would.Because I have some problems with my eyes./Because I think it makes me look cool./No，I wouldn't.Because I can see clearly without them./Because I think it looks ugly on me.

Kids are smart
Mostly，inventions happen because someone works to solve a problem.Kids are natural inventors.They often create amazing things from simple ideas.Because the kids are trying to solve problems in their lives，they make some useful inventions.
Here are a few inventions from kids.
Popsicles
Popsicles were invented by 11 year old Frank Epperson in 1905.He forgot a drink of juice and left it with a stir stick (搅拌棒) in it outside on a cold night.The next day it was ice.When he ate it，it tasted good！These ice sticks became popular at school in summer because they were delicious and helped students stay cool.
Crayon Holders
When 11 year old Cassidy Goldstein needed crayons for a school project，she had a hard time because there were so many small or broken ones.She found some small clear plastic tubes at home.And she found that they fit around the crayons.She was now able to hold them easily.This is how she invented Crayon Holders.
Wristies
When snow gets in kids' gloves and their hands get wet，they feel uncomfortable.10 year old Kathryn Gregory decided to do something about it.She created the wristies to keep her wrists warm and dry.Wristies are long gloves with no fingers and they are worn under your coat.They help you when you work in the cold because your hands stay warm while you use your fingers.With her parents' help，Kathryn also opened a small shop where she sold her wristies.

An Adjustable Dustpan
This is my new invention—an adjustable dustpan.I think it can be widely used in our daily life.
I came up with the idea because of my mother.My mother is tall，so she always feels tired when she bends down to use the normal dustpan.After doing some study, I invented this adjustable dustpan for her.
It looks like a normal one but it has a special handle.It can be adjusted longer or shorter according to the users' need.
Without doubt，I think it is my best invention.I hope a large number of adjustable dustpans will be produced to help more people.

Cocoa beans (可可豆) were of great importance in the days of the Aztecs.They were often given as gifts during important festivals.The Aztecs also used the beans to make a chocolate drink.The chocolate drink was much different from the hot chocolate we know today.The Aztecs actually drank it cold with wine (酒) and peppers (胡椒).It was not sweet at all.
Chocolate was discovered and brought to Europe in the early 1500s.After it came to Spain，people began to make the drink hot and sweet，and without peppers.The Spanish kept the wonderful new drink a secret，and it was over a hundred years later that news of it began to spread in other parts of Europe.
When it came to London in the 1700s，chocolate houses became popular.The English started to add milk to their chocolate，and it was enjoyed as an after dinner drink.
It was until the middle of the eighteenth century that chocolate began to change.Cocoa powder (粉末) was first invented in Holland.It was much easier to mix cocoa powder with milk or water，allowing for more creations to be made.Then came chocolate as a candy by mixing cocoa，butter with sugar.In 1876，milk chocolate was developed.After that，chocolate became more popular as a candy than as a drink.
