NO1.---未来的汽车On a sunny day last January, people got together at a parking lot in Las Vegas to see small vehicles that looked more like colorful eggs than ordinary cars. These vehicles were electric, ran on two wheels instead of four and held only two passengers. Thanks to their tiny size, six of the vehicles would fit in a parking spot. If the idea of parking such a small car makes you nervous, don’t worry: these cars can park themselves. And they can return to their owners when controlled by a button on a cellphone.The vehicle is called the EN-V(Electric Networked-Vehicle). It is built by General Motors, or GM, arid it points to what future vehicles might be like. It is designed to be energy-saving, solve environmental problems and help ease traffic jams, parking and safety concerns. The automaker says its next concept car^概念车)will help drivers get whatever they want. According to GM, the company has also designed an electric vehicle named Lean Machine. However, it is a small three-wheeler and this single-seater vehicle looks like a motorcycle. One day, such small, electric vehicles might safely carry people around，especially in crowded cities.Scientists and engineers are finding new ways to make cars safer, smarter and more efficient, oruse less energy. New cars may help you keep track of your health by reminding you to take medicine. If it’s elec tric, your car may send you a message reminding you to recharge it. Cars will talk to other cars, your computer, your phone and your iPa d. They’ll help drivers s ave energy, watch out for other drivers and avoid walkers on the streets.This is the future of vehicles: safer, smarter and more energy-saving. Besides, they might even drive themselves down the highway or through a city. You can sit back and enjoy the ride.1.

Let it stand for a few minutes and watch what happens.What is happening?As the air inside the balloon heats up, it starts to expand. The molecules（分子）begin to move faster and further apart form each other. This is what makes the ba lloon stretch. There is still the same amount of air inside the balloon and the bottle. It has just expanded as it heats up. Warm air therefore takes up more space than the s ame amount of cold air. It also weighs less than cold air occupying （占据）the same space.

So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition（眼睛识另ij） programme is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy.Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! And machines can already tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprint （指纹）.But eye-recognition will replace other ways of finding out who you are. It is better, because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

阅读理解BPassage 1(2016广州)Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food(using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50­watt LED light for two hours —enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoain October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.1. What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?A. They are difficult to use and create pollution.B. They are expensive to buy and easily damaged.C. They are difficult to repair and produce little light.D. They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.2. The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from________．A. plant foodB. plant wasteC. the soil's heatD. the sun's energy3. What is true about the Plant Lamp?A. It can be made by local people.B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps.C. It can produce all the electricity the village needs.D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.4. The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be most helpfulfor________．A. rainforest communitiesB. carsC. poor people in citiesD. farmers5. What is the purpose of the passage?。

2018年中考英语试题分类汇编第二期--阅读理解（人物或故事类、科普或环境保护类或健康类、社会现象或历史文化教育类）有解析专题08 阅读理解（人物或故事类、科普或环境保护类或健康类、社会现象或历史文化教育类） 1.【2018年山东省青岛市】 Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened(威胁) by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that influences sea animals comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions(爆炸) , ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves. Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety five would have the same effect（效果）. Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit （限度）of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鲸鱼）. A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed. Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect thatnoise is a greater danger than they believed. It’s time for them to take action to help ocean animals. 22. Which of the following is not caused by human beings? A. The noise of industrial underwater explosions. B. The noise of ocean drilling. C. The sound of underwater earthquakes D. The noise of ship engines. 23. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A. The same noise measures differently on land and in the ocean. B. Different places may have different types of noises.C. The noises can cause humans to lose hearing.D. There are different kinds of natural sounds in the ocean. 24. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Powerful underwater explosions aren’t harmful to whales’ ears. B. Many researchers are against the noise limit of 120 decibels. C. Noises cannot cause whales’ death. D. The noise limit of 120 decibels would hardly influence the industrial research. 25. According to the passage, we can infer that scientists will probably . A. work hard to cut down natural sounds. B. stop industrial and scientific research in oceans. C. try their best to make no noise. D. protect ocean animals from harmful noises. 【答案】22. C 23. A 24. B 25. D 23. 根据Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land.和后文可知主要讲水下分贝测量和陆地不一样；故选A 25. 根据文章讲述了噪音污染对海洋生物的伤害，科学家研究怎么保护海洋生物不受伤害。

专项训练七　节假日活动时间：8～10分钟/篇 分值：2分/小题Passage 1(2018福州)In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non­working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed_up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.( )1. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ________．A. December 25thB.

A large wheel of cheese(奶酪)is rolled down Cooper's Hill. The festival is actually a racewhere people run down the hill after the rolling cheese. Thefirst person to cross the finish line at the bottom of thehill wins the cheese.Burning man — The United StatesThe Burning Man Festival lasts a week, it is from the Mondaybefore Labor Day to Labor Day(which falls on the first Mondayin September in America). The festival takes place in theBlack Rock Desert. The best part of the festival is theburning of a large sculpture of a man.Pouring water — ThailandThe Songkran Festival is the celebration of the New Year inThailand.

At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!Tony( )1.

It's a good chance to work on different activities that you don't have much time to do during the rest of the year.We asked about 2，000 people what they would do during the summer vacation. Most of the survey­takers agreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax.Alexis said, “At school, I'm really tired, so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many outdoor activities.”Amy is in high school. After school, she sometimes works in a cafe. She told us, “It's a chance to relax after a hard school year—sleep more, and see my friends more.”We also asked them if they would be too busy or kind of bored. About half (52%) of the survey­takers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax. And that is exactly how it should be.But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance (平衡) between being busy and relaxing. Many thought that they would be too bored.How bored or busy people feel during the summer vacation depends on how old they are. Survey­takers in their early teens were more likely (可能的) to be bored.

birthday gifts．And it's a two﹣way street．People who have pets tend to have lower blood pressure．They also have a lower heart ﹣disease risk．Scientists are finding more and more evidence that animals can also help improve mental health．Some clinics have been using "pet therapy"（宠物疗法）alongside traditional medicine．Here is a look at some of the cures．RabbitsIn one study，scientists told a group of stressed﹣out adults to pat a rabbit and a rabbit toy．The toy had no effect．Touching the living rabbit，however，reduced anxiety（焦虑）．Crickets（蟋蟀）Animals don't have to be soft and lovely to help．In a 2016 study，elderly people who were given five crickets in a cage felt happier after eight weeks．The act of caring of an animal seemed to make the difference．HorsesHorses are among the most﹣studied therapy animals．In Europe，they have been involved in medical treatment plans since the 1860s．Activities like brushing the fur of a horsehave been shown to reduce anxiety in people of all ages．FishOne of the study focused on people who had Alzheimer's disease（阿尔茨海默氏病）．When they dined in front of a tank of colorful fish，they ate more．DogsChildren who struggle with reading are less anxious when they read aloud to a trained dog．Their attitudes change and their skills improve．（1）About of pet owners in America buy their pets birthday gifts．A．one﹣thirdB.50 percentC.95 percentD．three quarters（2）The

remembering its name，its shape，its color or its size？Are you remembering what it is used for，or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard？Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain，such as language and the ability of sense．They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something with your senses．Then，messages are sent to different brain cells，which join together to form connections．A new connection goes into your short﹣term memory．It is stored there for about 30 seconds，and then it is either lost or stored in your long﹣term memory．Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in your long ﹣term memory．To do this，you need to keep your brain in good shape．Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil，fruit and vegetables．Laughter also makes your brain more active．Also，don't forget to exercise．So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house．Finally，get plenty of sleep．This will make your memories grow stronger．When you want to remember new information，you must pay special attention．Use your senses﹣sight，smell，hearing and touch﹣and keep repeating the information．To do well in your exams this year，turn off the TV，silence your mobile，and review your work regularly．To remember something special，use your imagination to create visual（视觉的）connections．For example，you need to take a pencil，an eraser，your ID card and chips to your next exam．Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal，the pencil its long neck，and the eraser its head．Your animal is hungry，so now imagine it eating a bag of chips．It may sound crazy，but it's fun and it works．Another way is to do something different to yourroom．Turn a picture upside﹣down，or tie a sock around the door handle to remind（提醒）yourself of something to remember!（1）At the beginning，the writer gives an example to．A．lead in the topic of the articleB．show the importance of chalkC．let readers remember the wordD．make readers know his favorite（2）How many ways are mentioned to have a good memory in Paragraph 2？A.2B.3C.4D.5（3）The main idea of the third paragraph is．A．how to do well in examsB．how to remember new informationC．why to review your workD．what to eat to make memories stronger（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．Memory has nothing to do with languages．B．Laughter can help to improve our memory．C．A picture of eating chips is the most useful．D．Our brain is difficult to keep in good shape．8．Nearly three﹣fourths of American teenagers own smartphones﹣many of them filled with all kinds of apps．Thirty﹣one percent of teens get in touch with friends they have not met in person，and thirty﹣two percent have communicated with a complete stranger online．An officer named Pamela Casey in the US is helping children know more about smartphone dangers．Casey joined "CBS This Morning" to discuss the risks and how parents can protect their kids by changing the settings （设置）on their phones．Casey's interest in the subject began with a phone call from one of her friends whosedaughter had been taking inappropriate （不适当的）photos．"She said she found them in a vault app．The app is like a calculator （计算器）but you put in a certain pass code．It took you to a vault that she had hidden all these photos that she had been sharing，" Casey said．The mother told Casey，"You've got to tell everybody．"（1）How

called vault．（4）What's the meaning of the underlined phrase "pass code"？A．地址B．密码C．通行证D．身份证9．3D printing is becoming more and more popular．We are now able to print things such as clothing，musical instruments and even cars．People and businesses are able to create the things they need very quickly and easily by using 3D printers．But can you imagine printing food？Some scientists are trying to change the diningexperience completely by doing this．They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as common as the blender or microwave．Scientists say that they are easy to use：you simply have to choose a recipe（食谱）and put the uncooked food "inks" into the printer to make the food you want．This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and healthy meals．Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment．There would be less need for traditional growing，shipping and packaging steps as food production would be a lot quicker and better．For example，tree leaves and insects could be turned into tasty products! Printing food could also help people who have a swallowing（吞咽）trouble．They could program the printer to print softer kinds of their favorite foods so that they would not have difficulty swallowing them．However，some people think that a future of 3D﹣printed food would be a disaster．It could take away many jobs，including those for growing，shipping and packaging food．Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes and structures could be printed from an uncooked "food ink"．Traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business，too．Also，there are worries about the healthy value of printed food：is it really possible to get what we need from food﹣based "inks" or something like that？As we know，cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity．It is hard to imagine a world where the pastime of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button．（1）The second paragraph mainly tells us．A．we can change our recipes by 3D food printingB．there are many ways of printing food on the 3D printerC.3D food printing has become very common in the kitchenD．some scientists are trying to make 3D food printing used widely（2）The writer gives the example in Paragraph 3 in order to．A．show us how 3D food printing worksB．tell us why we should use 3D food printingC．help us to know what we can use to print foodD．let us understand when to use 3D food printing（3）How many disadvantages of 3D food printing are mentioned from the last two paragraphs？A．Two．B．Three．C．Four．D．Five．（4）What is the writer's opinion about 3D food printing？A.3D﹣printed food is tasty and necessary．B．It is difficult to understand 3D food printing．C．Cooking food is more pleasant than printing food．D．It is happy to see the change of the dining experience．10．Every 14 days，another language dies．There are many reasons for this．Some people think more common languages have more economic（经济的）power．Because of this，young people choose to learn a common language as they think it is more useful．Another reason is that some languages aren't written down．Guujaaw is a leader of the Haida Nation，whose people have lived on the Queen Charlotte Islands，Canada，for more than 10，000 years．Their language is endangered．Traditionally，it wasn't written down，and，as a result，some people are worried that it will die one day．Guujaaw replies to this，"We talk to each other，listen，visit，and believe in the spoken word．Expressing yourself without writing is natural．" However，if Guujaaw's language and others like it are going to stay alive，writing may have to become part of their lives．When a language dies，a lot of knowledge dies with it．To begin with，language is a huge part of the culture of the people who speak it．Language allows speakers to say certain things：words that describe a cultural idea may not translate exactly into another language．Furthermore，many endangered languages have rich spoken cultures．Stories，songs and histories are passed on from older people to younger generations（一代）．Elizabeth Lindsey，a language researcher，emphasizes（强调）this．"When an elder dies，a library is burned，" she says．Also，language death affects our knowledge about nature．Local people often have a deep understanding of plants，animals，and the relationship between them．David Harrison，a researcher on endangered languages，reflects，"80% of plant and animal species（物种）have been undiscovered by science．But that doesn't mean they're unknown to humans．"Many languages are endangered．However，it's not too late．Children often grow up speaking two languages．"No one…becomes richer by giving up…one language to learn another，" Harrison said．If children feel both languages are important，they will use both．So，it is necessary that children realize how useful their local language is．（1）How many reasons are mentioned for endangered languages in Paragraph 1？A．2B．3C．．4D．5（2）What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph 2？A．How cultures are passed on．B．How cultures are discovered．C．Why languages are written down．D．Why languages are important to cultures．（3）The underlined word "affects" in the passage means ""．A．waits forB．depends onC．is different fromD．has an influence on（4）Which of the following is the writer's opinion？A．People need to use common languages more often．B．The spoken word is more important than the written word．C．Children are the hope to stop the local language from dying．D．Many animals and plants are in danger because of dying languages．11．Are You Right Handed or Left Handed？Which hand do you use when writing？About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed．They often have to use tools that are designed for right﹣handed people．So it is difficult for left﹣handers to use most tools．If you are right handed，try this experiment：Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces．Don't be surprised if you feel awkward（别扭的）．In the past，people thought it was strange to use the left hand．Young students looked down upon their left﹣handed classmates．Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write．But these days parents and teachers have accepted that．In almost every school in the world，left﹣handed students can use their left hand to write．What causes people to be left handed or right handed？Experts have searched long and worked hard on this．They concluded（得出结论）that left﹣handed people are left handed for the same reason that right﹣handed people are right handed．One out of every ten people just is a left﹣hander．It's simply like the color of our eyes﹣some people have brown eyes，while some others have black eyes．However，many researchers think that left﹣handers and right﹣handers are different in some aspects．Right﹣handers are more talkative and outgoing than left﹣handers．Many right﹣handed people understand spoken words better．For example，after they listen to directions to a supermarket，they can find it easily．Right﹣handers are good at organizing people，too．They are also better basketball guards．Just ask Yao Ming．Research shows that left﹣handers are creative and artistic．Many famous performers，like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney，are left handed．Many left﹣handers learn better visually （在视觉方面）．In art，both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed．In science，you find Newton and Einstein．The left﹣handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports．If you prefer one hand，but you are still good at writing with the other，you are mixed handed．Research shows mixed﹣handers can remember everyday things better than other people．What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago？If you're mixed handed，you can probably remember．（1）If right﹣handers cut up potatoes with their left hand，they will．A．get hurtB．give up cuttingC．feel uncomfortableD．change their tools（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？A．Causes of being left handed．B．Encouragement to left﹣handers．C．Punishment for using the left hand．D．Changes in opinions on left﹣handers．（3）According to the passage，right﹣handers．A．learn better visuallyB．are good organizersC．are better at single sportsD．give clear directions to others（4）From the passage，we can learn that left﹣handers．A．may be more talkative and outgoingB．are ordinary people like right﹣handersC．might remember everyday things betterD．no longer need to use right﹣handed tools12．An App for ParkingIs it very difficult for you to park your car when you go out？Don't worry．Parking Insider can help you．Parking Insider is a smart app with a mobile wallet．You can use it to help you park your car quickly and pay for the parking in a really short time．The app also invites users to earn free minutes of parking by taking pictures of free parking spaces．The app uses the photos to make a heat map．The map lets other users find open parking spaces more easily．If you want to use the app，you should be one of the clients（客户）of Deutsche Bank．As a client ofDeutsche Bank，you can have an account to pay for your parking through the app．You'd also need to drive Mercedes﹣Benz，a smart car or other Daimler products．To give better service，the makers of the app are trying hard to be partners with other banks and car companies．The app is very popular now，but it has to face plenty of competitions．Cities are making their own parking and paying apps．There are a number of companies already focusing on the issue，too，including Park Now and PayByPhone．（1）What is the Parking Insider？A．It's a car company．B．It's a mobile wallet．C．It's a smart app．D．It's a bank card．（2）What does the Parking Insider use pictures from users to do？A．To earn free minutes of parking．B．To give users better service．C．To make a map which helps

专项训练二教育故事时间：8～10分钟/篇分值：2分/小题Passage 1(2018随州)Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city.The building next door was only a few feet away from mine.There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty.Everything was unclear through the dirty window.I would say to myself，“I wonder why that woman doesn't wa sh her window.It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen.Her window was clean!Then I began to understand it.I had been criticizing(批评)her dirty window，but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me.How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings(缺点)?From then on, whenever I want to judge(判断)someone, I ask myself first，“Am I looking at him through my own dirty window？” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see others' world more clearly.()1.

I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But unluckily, I was refused every time.At one station, a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn't hire(雇佣) an inexperienced person and suggested that I try my luck at smaller stations. Following her advice, I went back to Dixon. There were no radio­announcing jobs in Dixon, and my father said a newly­opened store wanted a local sportsman to work for it. I applied for(申请) the job, but I was refused again.“Everything happens for the best，”Mom reminded me. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, Peter, told me they had already hired an announcer.I left his office, and felt totally disappointed. While I was waiting for the elevator, I heard someone calling. It was Peter. “What do you know about sports? Do you know anything about football？” Then he asked me to broadcast(播报) an imaginary game. Pleased with my performance, he offered me a chance to work there.On my way home, I thought of my mother's words, “If you carry on, one day something good will happen.

He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he discovered how the sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire, watching the lid of the kettle move up and down. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid. From that time he went on thinking and thinking. And when he became a man, he improved the steam engine(蒸汽机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses.James Ferguson was a poor boy. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he wondered. “Why should I not make a watch？” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring(钟表的主发条)? He soon found he could make it with whalebone(鲸骨).
