3．（10 分）What do you think is the most important invention of the past 2000 years？The TV？ The printer ？ The telephone？ Or the computer ？ A report shows that these are not the only important inventions.Here are four other important ones.
Paper is one of the most important inventions.You can't have printing without paper.In 105 AD ， Cai Lun invented paper in China.Long before the printer and Internet ， Cai Lun's invention allowed us to write down information，stories and history.
One of the simplest inventions to save life is the toilet.Before toilet，waste ran into the

rivers from people's houses.Illnesses were common in big cities，and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another invention.Before the invention，most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in the winter.After hay（牧草）became a kind of common animal food，animals could live through the long winter.
Reading glasses is the fourth invention.People start getting farsighted from the age of

45.Glasses mean that anyone can read ， write ， and do "close work" after that age.Without glasses，the world would be difficult for people above 45.

type of computer.Along with his friend Steven Woziak，he designed the Apple I computer in his bedroom and actually built it in his garage.He chose the name "Apple" because it reminded him of a happy summer he once spent on an orchard in Oregon.
