There have been many great inventions, which have changed the way we live. The first great invention was 1 that is still very important today—the wheel(轮子). This made it easier to 2 heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have as much 3 as the wheel. Then in the early 1800’s the world started to 4 . There was little unknown land in the world. People did not 5 to explore any more. They began to work so as to
6 life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. 7 them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big 8 of our life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great 9 : the helicopter in 1909; movies with sound in 1926; the computer in 1928; and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time 10
a new material was first made. Nylon came 11 in 1935. It changed the 12 of clothes people had been wearing.

Man began looking for ways to go into 18 . Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, 19 China and Japan have made their steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a 20 thought. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.

Swimming and other water sports can be great fun． Yet 1 people can not swim． Many are 2 water． They have no confidence (信心) in their ability (能力) to learn to swim well．
A few years ago, scientists to find out how people learn new skills． They found that, 3 ,the first time a person tried a task determined whether or not he would ever be any 4 it． For example, if a child tried to rollerskate (穿四轮鞋溜冰) for the first time and did it well, then he would probably become 5 rollerskater． If he did it badly, then he would probably never good． For this reason, it is important that a person's first step at swimming should be successful．
Scientists also know that a 6 experience will do harm to a person's confidence． For example, if a nonswimmer (非游泳者) is 7 deep water in fun, it will take him a long time to regain (恢复) confidence in the water．
So learners-swimmers (初学游泳者) should take each step 8 ． The first thing to do is to gain confidence in the water． Never jump in at first． Sit on the side． Better still, walk slowly down the steps into 9 water． Try to walk along the side of the bath． Duck (猛然低下) your head under the water, keeping your eyes open 10 ． Lift your feet off the bottom and let your body float to the surface． You will soon be ready to learn to swim．
