Inventions
Phone
The first telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. It made communications easier. But the telephones were only fixed in post offices. People had to go there to make calls to faraway people and the fees were very high. Later, a cellphone was developed in 1973 in America. It was one of the most useful inventions. People can use cellphones to communicate with others much more easily. They can take them anywhere to make private calls, even vision calls (可视电话). Cellphones have many other functions, such as sending messages, taking photos and reading online.
TV
The first TV set was invented by an English scientist, John Baird, in 1926. The invention helped people watch films at home instead of going to the cinema as before. At first, TV sets only broadcast black-white pictures. Several years later, coloured TV sets made the pictures lively. However, they were heavy and thick, so it was difficult to move them. Then, digital TV sets came into being. They are light and thin. Many TV programmes are available (可获得的) at any time. At present, people can use the IPTV (网络电视) to record and replay programmes.
Computer
The first modern computer was invented in America in 1946. It was as big as a room. It improved the speed and exactitude of calculation (计算). In the 1950s, desktop computers were invented in the same country. They became smaller and could be put on the desk. Since then, they have become very important in many fields of work and leisure. Before the 1970s, the computers were single. It was the Internet that joined the computers into a big family, so they could share information with one another. Around 1985, laptops were developed in Japan. They were much smaller and could be put on people's laps. They were light and easy to take.

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车). But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford's. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.
The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In the 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modem engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one."
The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost ＄850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals, they considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.
26. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?
A.He made good use of ideas from others.
B.He produced the first car in the world.
C.He knew how to improve auto parts.
D.He invented the production line.
27. Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?
A.To show off his driving skills.
B.To draw public attention.
C.To learn about new technology.
D.To raise money for his new company.
28. "That sale" in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.
A.the selling of Ford cars at reduced prices
B.the sale of Model T to the mass of people
C.the selling of a car to a Detroit doctor
D.the sales target for the Ford Company
29. What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?
A.Producing cars for common customers.
B.Building racing cars of simple design.
C.Designing more car models.
D.Starting more companies.

30?. Many inventions have changed people's life. My robot cleaner is one of them.
It's a round smart appliance, just like a big cake/ UFO with wheels at the bottom of it so that it can move freely. It's as smart as a human being because it can clean the floor itself in a house. What's more, it works with electricity, so it will not pollute the air. Above all, it's more convenient for us to use it because we can control it by using our mobile phones.
In my opinion, the robot cleaner is a great invention and our good friend. It saves time and helps us live a better life. Why not have a try and buy one for yourselves?
