We know the famous ones—the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells—but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldn't we know who they are?
Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who”invented“what”， however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the“why” and “how” questions. According to McLean，“When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”
Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention，”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major，“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.”Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.
So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well，Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City.The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights，so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield，she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built­in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A．Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J．Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?
大制造家与重要的制造当然令人兴奋，但生活中也离不开小制造，本篇文章鼓舞年轻人要擅长把握制造的契机。
9．By mentioning “traffic light”and “windshield wiper”，the author indicates that countless inventions are________.
A. beneficial，because their inventors are famous
B. beneficial，though their inventors are less famous
C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous
D. not useful, though their inventors are famous
答案：B。细节理解题。由文章最终一段，特殊是第一句“Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.”可知信号灯和雨刮器等这些小的制造使我们受益。第一段最终一句“Shouldn't we know who they are？”意思是“莫非我们不该知道他们(制造者)是谁吗？”可知制造者不怎么出名。
10．Professor Joan McLean's course aims to________.
A. add colour and variety to students' campus life
B. inform students of the windshield wiper's invention
C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D. prepare students to try their own inventions
答案：D。细节理解题。由其次段内容，特殊是最终一句“...‘When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.’”可知D项最佳。
11．Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was______.
A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D. not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures
答案：B。细节理解题。由第三段中Tommy Lee的话“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention...I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.”可知他的制造是由于受到雨刮器的制造故事的启发。
12．Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?
A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?
B. How to Design a Built­in Device for Cleaning the Window?
C. Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?
D. Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?
答案：C。主旨大意题。全文叙述一些重要的制造，虽不为人知，却格外有益，借以鼓舞年轻人要擅长把握制造的契机。其他选项都比较片面。
