What do you need for an invention to be a success?
To begin with, good timing is very ____45____ . You can have a good idea which the public doesn't want yet. Take Giovanni Caselli as an example. He invented the first fax machine in the 1860s. Though the quality was excellent, his invention quickly ____46____ . The fax machine did not become a necessary piece of equipment in every office until the 1980s.
Money also helps. The Frenchman Denis Papin had the idea for a steam engine almost a hundred years before James Watt was born. Denis never had enough money to ____47____ one.
You also need to be patient. It took scientists nearly eighty years to invent a light bulb. ____48____ , you shouldn't be too slow. In the 1870s, Elisha Gray developed plans for a telephone. Gray saw it only as "a beautiful toy". When he finally sent details of his invention to the Patent Office ( 专利局 ) on February 14th, 1876, it was too ____49____ . Almost the same designs had arrived just two hours earlier. The young man who sent them was Alexander Graham Bell. He is remembered as the inventor of the telephone.
Of course what you really need is a wonderful idea. If you haven't got one, a walk in the countryside and a careful look at ____50____ can help. The Swiss scientist, George de Mestral, had the idea for Velcro ( 粘扣 ) when he found his clothes covered in sticky seed pods after a walk in the countryside.

Most polar（北极）bears could disappear by the end of the century because of global（全球）warming, scientists say.
According to a study in Nature Climate（气候）Change, the number of most polar bears will_ 21_rapidly by 2080. There are two reasons. One is that the sea ice is melting（融化）. Polar bears catch seals（海豹）to eat on the ice. 22ice, they have to stay on land. But there is no_ 23food on land to support so many bears. The animals could die from hunger. The other reason is that mother bears may not be fat enough to _ 24milk for their babies, so some bears could stop having babies.
Polar bears are_ 25_land animals that eat meat on the planet. They help control other kinds of animals. Losing them would break the balance of their living place.
The Arctic（北冰洋）is the_ _26_to about 25, 000 polar bears. Arctic sea ice usually melts in spring and summer, then grows in winter. But now, the 27is taking longer to grow back. Scientists say the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planets.
The study also shows 28it is possible to slow Arctic melting. Greenhouse gas（温室气体）could lead to climate change. In order to avoid creating greenhouse gas, the world should try to stop burning coal and riding in cars.
Saving the bears is _ 29us. Holland, one of the writers of the study, says, "I believe there is hope, but humans need to act 30to make that hope come true. "Let's take action to protect our earth and save polar bears.
