The Invention Blog: a place for people to Share Opinions
Today’s question is: What do you think is the most useful invention of all time?
By George on Saturday, June 7
The most useful invention of all time is surely the Internet. We can now reach people and do business faster. I own a clothing store in Mexico City and I also have a website. Now, people from all over the world can buy my clothing on my website. I can send e-mails to my friends and family in Mexico and around the world it’s faster than the usual mail and cheaper than the phone.
By Wang Lin on Sunday, June 8
George, I also think that the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion, there is an “invention’ that is even more important, and that’s electricity. Of course, this isn’t a man-made invention, but people like Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta learned how to use it. Without electricity, many of the world’s most important inventions would not work.
By Wendy Liu on Monday, June 9
There are many—the train, the car, and the airplane are useful machines, but these are not my choices. For an everyday useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner. I live in Hong Kong, and during summer the temperature can be 35℃or more. Without an air conditioner, people here cannot work or study. A lot of people might also get sick without cool air.
41. George says that the Internet helps him to ___p____.
A. play computer games with friends B. keep in touch with his family and friends
C. make phone calls easily D. buy clothing from around the world
42. Why does Wang Lin think electricity is the most useful?
A. Because it isn’t really an invention.
B. Because people love Alessandro Volta very much.
C. Because Benjamin Franklin learned how to use it.
D. Because many inventions cannot work without it.
43. For Wendy, the air conditioner is the most useful because ___p____.
A. she has to work a lot B. she lives in a very hot place.
C. she often gets sick D. she studies very hard

Last weekend after a quick lunch at a snack bar, I still had some extra time before going through security(安检) to catch my flight to Los Angeles, not knowing what to do. I then decided it was the perfect time and place to look for an act of kindness to do.
Outside security there was a girl having flowers for sale. I told her that I’d like to buy flowers for sometime else, and she could decide who to give them to. She looked a little confused, so I suggested perhaps she should give them to someone who looked a little sad.
That was because he or she might need some cheering up.
At first, the girl answered. “That’s crazy” But then I explained a little more about the idea of doing something kind for a stranger, and she understood
“I’ll never know how it turns out,” I said, “but you will have the chance to make someone’s good day,” At that time, she started to seem excited about it.
She went to take the flowers out of the water they were sitting in, and I explained. “It’s fine to leave them in there until the person who you want to give them to comes.”
At that point, I think she was between surprised and happy. Because it might be her first time to meet a customer like me. I paid for the flowers, and goodbye, and joined in the security line.
What a nice day I had!

Born in Ghana, West Africa, in 1989, Freddy Adu has become one of the most promising young soccer players in the world. Soccer fans have been crazy about him since 2003, when he became the youngest player to join a professional sports team in the United States. The next year, he became the youngest athlete ever to play in an all-star game, a match in which the best players from many professional teams compete.
As a child, Adu did what many children in Ghana love to do— play soccer. His mother recognized her son’s talent and encouraged it by providing soccer balls, which were expensive for them. Since he had soccer balls, other children always came looking for him and played together.
Education was very important to Adu’s mother, and she wasn’t sure that her son could receive a good education in Ghana. So she tried hard and moved to Maryland, U.S. In 1997, when he was eight years old. His new school friends soon noticed his talent for soccer, and the parents of one friend encouraged him to join a soccer club. This was his first time playing organized soccer, and he helped his team from the Potomac Soccer Association win a tournament in Italy in 2000. One professional Italian team was so impressed by Adu that they offered him $750.000 to play for them. Adu’s mother refused the offer and thought that her eleven-year-old son needed to finish school first.
Adu did finish high school at the age of 14. Nowadays, he is playing professional soccer and living with his mother in a house he bought for her. His salary with the D.C. United team is $500.000 a year, and Adu is also paid to advertise products such as sports shoes and drinks. Adu is happy that his mother no longer has to work at two jobs, and his fans are happy that they can watch him play their favorite sport for many years to come.

If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent(聪明的) person.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons did much patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo(舒缓的节拍)
“Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system(神经系统) and these changes may improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study, “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together,” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better emotionally(情绪上) and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.
Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart’s violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
52. What does the underlined word enhance mean?
A. Produce B. Provide C. Improve D. Impress.
53. It can be learned from the last paragraph that ___p____
A. you are supposed to follow your parents’ words.
B. you have some good reasons to join in an intelligence test.
C. good marks depend on listening to music and exercising
D. exercise to music might help you get higher grades in tests
54. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Music helps volunteers get better from heart disease
B. Exercise is used for people with head hurts.
C. Exercise causes no changes in health without music.
D. Music can help you relax and feel energetic.
55. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Exercise to Music B. Music and Study
C. Importance of Music D. Studies on Exercise
