A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years.Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs (时尚的设计) on them,such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars.And they are more comfortable to use.Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks.

Nigeria is a hot and dry country in Africa where electricity is not available to many homes.Most people grow and sell their own fruit and vegetables.Keeping them fresh in the hot place is a real challenge.Without a fridge,most fresh food goes bad in a couple of days.Throwing away the food means losing money for poor families.Eating the bad food causes serious health problems.
Local teacher Mohammed Bah Abba was worried about this problem and decided to solve it.As a boy born into a family of clay pot (陶罐) makers,Mohammed knew that these traditional clay pots could keep water even when it was dry.In the 1990s he used this traditional knowledge and his understanding of science to invent a cooling system (冷却系统).It worked as a “desert fridge”.
Mohammed’s cooling system is made up of two pots—a small pot inside a larger pot.In the space between the two clay pots,there is wet sand.People put the fruit and vegetables in the smaller pot,and cover it with a wet cloth (布).Then they leave the larger pot in a dry place.When water from the sand evaporates (蒸发),it causes the temperature in the pots to go down.This way the food in the smaller pot is cool.
With the pot-in-pot cooling system,food stays fresh much longer.Mohammed’s “desert fridge” has improved the lives of thousands of people.So in 2001 he won the Rolex Award for Enterprise,which is for the people who try to make the world a better place.

C.He helped to keep people’s houses cool.
D.He made a great invention in the 1990s.
( C )43.What was put between the two clay pots in Mohammed’s cooling system
A.Food. B.Water.
C.Wet sand. D.A wet cloth.
( C )44.Mohammed won the Rolex Award for Enterprise because he .
A.invented lots of things
B.was a successful businessman
C.made local people’s lives better
D.had great knowledge of science

One of the first bicycles was called the hobby horse.It was made of wood!People rode by (54) pushing (push) their feet along on the ground.

Then,the high wheeler was developed.It had a very big wheel in the front.This bicycle was not easy (56) to ride (ride) because the rider sat high up on it.The rider (57) could be (be) badly hurt.

Nature is full of great ideas.Many inventors watch nature for ideas to make some (61)useful things.For example,a new type of cane(手杖) was invented to help (62)blind people move around more smoothly.And the idea behind this invention came from the bat(蝙蝠).
How Bats Get Around
Bats make sounds (63)when they fly at night.These sounds can’t be heard by people,(64)but they help bats fly in the dark.
Bats send out sound waves(波) through their mouth or nose when they (65)fly .If these sound waves hit objects around them,they will be sent back as an echo(回声).The echo tells bats how far away things like trees are.It also helps them know where to find (66)something to eat.
A Batty Idea
(67)After watching how bats fly,the scientist who invented the new cane first built a lightweight cane,and then to improve it,he added the device(装置) that sends and receives the same sound waves as bats do while flying.(68)Finally ,he tested the cane.It worked out!
How the Cane Works
The cane sends out sound waves.When an echo is sent back,the top of the cane vibrates(震动).This helps the person hold the cane know how far (69)away an object is.They will also know how big the object is.
The invention of the cane shows that nature is really where great ideas come (70)from .

Tea and coffee are both great inventions in human history and are two of the most popular drinks in the world.However,people usually like one more than the other.These drinks also have very different uses.
Tea drinking started in China about 5,000 years ago and was invented by accident.Tea is made from leaves.These days,some people drink tea for health,using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight.However,most people in tea-drinking countries take tea as more than just a healthy drink.In fact,tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture.In Turkey(土耳其),tea is always there when people meet.Whether in someone’s home or a company,tea is always offered as a way of welcoming.In the UK,homes and offices usually have tea time.Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon.It is a way of relaxing with friends or colleagues.
Coffee came much later than tea,just over 1,000 years ago.Coffee is made from beans.Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active.Most people do not drink coffee to relax.Instead,they drink coffee to get going.Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up.Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day.Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends.However,many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.

Nigeria is a hot and dry country in Africa where electricity is not available to many homes.Most people grow and sell their own fruit and vegetables.Keeping them fresh in the hot place is a real challenge.Without a fridge,most fresh food goes bad in a couple of days.Throwing away the food means losing money for poor families.Eating the bad food causes serious health problems.
Local teacher Mohammed Bah Abba was worried about this problem and decided to solve it.As a boy born into a family of clay pot (陶罐) makers,Mohammed knew that these traditional clay pots could keep water even when it was dry.In the 1990s he used this traditional knowledge and his understanding of science to invent a cooling system (冷却系统).It worked as a “desert fridge”.
Mohammed’s cooling system is made up of two pots—a small pot inside a larger pot.In the space between the two clay pots,there is wet sand.People put the fruit and vegetables in the smaller pot,and cover it with a wet cloth (布).Then they leave the larger pot in a dry place.When water from the sand evaporates (蒸发),it causes the temperature in the pots to go down.This way the food in the smaller pot is cool.
With the pot-in-pot cooling system,food stays fresh much longer.Mohammed’s “desert fridge” has improved the lives of thousands of people.So in 2001 he won the Rolex Award for Enterprise,which is for the people who try to make the world a better place.

The car was invented just a little over a century ago.At first,the car was the toy of the very rich,but an American man,Henry Ford,changed that.
The eldest of six children,Henry was born into a poor family.Young Henry dreamed of making a horseless motorcar.He worked in a machine shop for 2 dollars and 50 cents a week.In the evenings he repaired watches for another dollar a week.The hard life made him strong and able.
Henry overcame a lot of difficulties and in 1896,the horseless carriage was finished at last.After this,Henry dreamed of making more motorcars that the common people could buy,too.
Later Henry founded Ford Motor Company and used an assembly line system to make more cars faster.He also paid his workers a high wage so they could buy a Ford car along with other things like houses.Other companies also had to follow his example.So it became possible for more and more working class people to own cars,houses and other things.
