Mostly， inventions happen because someone works to solve a problem． Kids are natural inventors．They often create amazing thing from simple ideas．Here are a few examples that might make you wonder，"Why didn't think of that？"
Popsicles
Popsicles were invented by 11﹣year ﹣old Frank Epperson in 1905． He forgot a drink of juice and left it with a stir（搅拌） stick in it outside on a cold night． The next day it was ice． Because of this he couldn't drink it any more， but he could eat it． It tasted good! These ice sticks became popular among kids at school in summer because they were delicious and helped them stay cool．
More than a hundred years later， popsicles are sill one of the best summer treats!
Crayon Holdans
When 11﹣ year﹣ old Cssidss Coldstein 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（管子）at home．Although the tiny tube were usually filled with water to keep flowers fresh， she found that they fit tightly （紧紧地） around the crayons． She was now able to hold them easily．This is how she invented Caryon Holders．
Wristies
When snow gets in kids' gloves and their hands get wet， they feel uncomfortable.10﹣year﹣old Kathryn Gregoary decided to do something about it．She created the wristies as she wanted to keep her wrists（手腕）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 wristie． And she still runsit today．
All these inventions have one thing in common﹣the kids were trying to solve problems in their lives． When you meet problems， what would you do？ If the kids can do it ，you can do it， too!

Every fall we travel to see the children．We usually fly， first to California to see our son Scott and spend a week or more with him trying to catch up on everything we've missed．Then， usually in November， we make the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and our grandchidren，who were about their twenties．

They say that"travel is the best teacher"and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake （1587﹣1641）． His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake， not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography．
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family， Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel． When he was 18， however， Xu's father died and so， it seemed， did his travelling dreams． He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60﹣year﹣old mother as tradition required．
But his mother had different ideas． Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences， this modern﹣thinking woman refused to keep her son at home． She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year， when there was less farm work．
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support， Xu set off for the first time， leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well． He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years． During this time， he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom， carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary This diary， which once had over 500，000 words， would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake．
Although rich， Xu avoided comfortable travel， preferring to go almost everywhere on foot． This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world． Many of his trips were to hard﹣to﹣reach mountain areas， and through wild forests where few people lived． His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however． Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick， robbed and beaten during his journeys．
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey， a 4﹣year trip through the Southwest of China． He died in 1641， soon after returning to his hometown for the last time． When his diary was finally printed years after his death， much of it had been destroyed or lost． Although incomplete， it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world．

People often think of the North Pole（北极） and the South Pole as similar frozen（冰冻的）
wastelands．They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there．However，the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine．
The North Pole has no land，only thick ice．Temperatures seldom go above 32°F，at which water turns into ice．Most of the time，it stays below zero．In winter temperatures are usually as low as﹣30°F．
Although conditions were very poor，people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole．About 100years ago，two men，Robert Peary and Mathew Henson，were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties．They reached the North Pole on March 8th，1909．It was really a hard trip for them．
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic（北极圈） on foot．People who stayed there may face many problems：very cold temperatures，sudden storms，and even hunger．Most of the area is uninhabited．Few people can live in such a difficult place．
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year，the ice would be thick and hard．However，this is not true in the Arctic．The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface．Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water（水道） called"leads"．Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes．

We often hear stories of animals rescuing people．But now someone has managed to return the favor．
The event took place one snowy January morning．Thomas Smith was walking his dog，Jack，in the park．"As I was walking，I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle，and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out，"said Smith．He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog．"someone else told me the lake was only one﹣meter deep，but it was at least twice that．I had to break my way through the 6﹣cm ice．Finally，I got Jack by the neck，and pulled him out．I don't think I have ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land．And when we got there，everyone was asking if Jack was okay﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣no one was particularly worried，about me!"
A neighbor，Julie Brown，saw it all happen．"The dog went onto an icy lake．All of a sudden，it started to go under．There were crowds of people around，and they were all shouting and screaming．Before I knew it，the owner Smith was in the water forcing his way through the ice．I can't begin to imagine how cold it was．Everyone was very nervous，but he was as cool as a cucumber﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣he just crawled back out，put the dog on its lead，and went home．"
Many regard him as a hero，but Mr．Smith is quite laid﹣back about it．"Most dog owners are the same as me．They would do what I did without a second thought．But in the future，I'm going to make sure he's on lead near any ice ponds，Pets are members of our family．Would you do the same for them？

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year．Networks have been part of our life．Probably everyone with a portable device （移动设备）has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it，while they are having a coffee，on a train，in a shopping mall or at a hotel．However，is this kind of public WiFi network safe？
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption （加密）methods are used．Therefore，they are safer than others．But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected，including addresses，emails，birth dates，phone numbers，passwords and so on．These open WiFi networks are really not safe，because it is very easy for hackers （黑客） to break into the operating system and get people's private information．
Most smartphones and laptops，by themselves，search and connect to WiFi networks．They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before．Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks．When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real，hackers can easily steal their private information．
So next time，when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks，please think it twice or take safe measures before using them．
42．Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network？
A．Because it can provide useful information．
B．Because the owner of the network is polite．
C．Because it is free．
D．Because it is safe．
43．We can learn from the passage that

Students at a primary school in Fuzhou，Hast China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits．But some parents are strongly against the idea．They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores （杂亊）．They think that the school should provide students with a proper education，not the chance to be school cleaners．
In fact，parents，schools and society play an equally （同等地）important role in developing the character of students．It is good for schools to give students such tasks，because few of the students will do them at home．Their parents want them to do homework only．
In recent years，some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools．Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools； some even challenge the schools'teaching methods and management．As a result，many primary schools，especially those in big cities，do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks，fearing that they might get hurt．This is bad for the development of students'best qualities．
What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising．Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students'minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork．Also，it can make students'in﹣school experiences more meaningful．
