Ice pops(冰棒) shaped like local landmarks(地标) or historical treasures(瑰宝) are getting popular on Chinese social media. Tourist sites(景点) make them because they want to make visitors learn more about their history and culture.
Chinese tourist sites are trying their best to attract visitors. The idea of cultural products(产品) like ice pops is sure to be a great way. In the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan province, ice pops in the shape of “Bronze mask” catch the eye of visitors. They come in two flavors(味道): matcha and chocolate. The Temple of Heaven in Beijing also made ice pops shaped like the ancient building last year, and lots of tourists had fun taking pictures of the site together with the ice pops.
“A number of young people are interested in cultural products like the ice pops,” Zhou Yunqing, a professor at Wuhan University told Xinhua. “It is also a sign of China’s growing cultural confidence.” We believe there will be a quick increase in Chinese cultural tourism. As we can see, more and more people are talking about these special

Think about things around you when you get up in the morning: the alarm clock, toothbrush, toilet, coffee maker, and shower heads … ▲ YES! They are all inventions. They come in all shapes, sizes, and varieties (种类).And their inventors were from different backgrounds. Sure, many scientists have made discoveries and turned those discoveries into inventions. However, that doesn't mean you must be a scientist to be an inventor.
We often hear that necessity is the mother of invention, and it means that people often identify one of their needs and then try to meet that need. Sometimes the only way to meet that need is to invent a new product!
Think about all of the musical instruments in the world. Now think of all the products that go along with those instruments. Instead of scientists, many of those products were invented by musicians. They discovered a need and then invented a product to satisfy it. They may have thought scientifically about the product. They may have had help from a scientist, but many people have shown that inventors can come from any background.
Non-scientific approaches (与科学无关的方法) can help develop new inventions. Although thinking scientifically is often a necessity, it can also be helpful to think out of the box. We often get used to doing things the same way and thinking that some ideas won't work, which makes us stop thinking about new things. But if we keep thinking, we might discover something amazing. That is why some inventors can come from a variety of non-scientific backgrounds. For example, a poet (诗人) and an astronomer (天文学家) both look at the sky, but they see it differently. The poet might have ideas about a problem the astronomer would never consider.
See? You don't have to be a scientist to be an inventor. Somehow, everyone can invent something.
28. What's the best sentence for“ ▲ ”in Paragraph 1?
A. What can you do with these things? B. What do you love about these things?

①music is important in our lives ②necessity is the mother of invention

30. What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A. It is not important for people to think scientifically.
B. People need to get used to doing things the same way.
C. People need to think about things in new, different ways.
31. By writing the passage, what may the writer want to tell us?
A. We should take a look at the sky. B. Inventors don't have to be scientists.
C. It's not easy to write a piece of music.
