22、Do you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? Can you think out of the box? If so, you could be the next great inventor. “But I’m just a kid,” you might say! Don’t worry about a little thing like age. Some of the greatest inventors in the world get their start as kids.

For example, Benjamin Franklin created paddles (桨) for his hands to help him swim faster when he was only 12 years old. His creation led to today’s flippers (橡胶蹼)!

You don’t have to be an adult, a scientist or a genius (天才) to be an inventor. One thing you need is: curiosity and imagination. Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways. Sometimes their understanding of things leads to great inventions!

Sometimes inventors come up with completely new things that solve a problem. At other times new inventions are only things that are changed or improved. Then they work better or serve a different purpose.

So what should you do if you have a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Ask them to help you create a working model of your idea.

Once you have a working model, you should test it. Sometimes after the test, you may find your idea is not as great as you thought. At other times you realize it is a good idea and your working model can help you work out how to make it better.

If you need some ideas, consider these kids and their inventions:

Frank Epperson invented Popsicles (冰棍) when he was 11. One night he mixed soda powder (苏打粉) and water with a stick. He left it outside all night. The next morning, he found that the stick had frozen (冻结) inside the drink during the cold night.

Chester Greenwood created earmuffs (耳罩) when he was 15. He found his ears got painfully cold when he was skating. He decided to solve the problem. He found a piece of wire (电线), and his grandma helped him pad (用软物填塞) the ends.

At the age of 15, Louis Braille invented the system that allowed blind people to read.

【1】The underlined word “unique” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A．strict

B．famous

C．unusual

D．popular

【2】We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．Benjamin Franklin made paddles for his feet

B．Frank Epperson spent many days making Popsicles

C．Chester Greenwood created earmuffs with his teacher

D．Louis Braille’s invention helped blind people to read

【3】The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．age is very important for inventions

B．kids inventors are geniuses

C．inventions should be completely new

D．a working model needs to be tested

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．Are Inventions Important?

B．Can Kids Be Inventors, Too?

C．What’s Your Favourite Invention?

D．How Can You Make Inventions Popular?
