What is the most important invention of all the time?Is it the written word that helps us to record information?Is it the telephone that lets us talk to people from all over the world?Is it the car that lets us travel at great speeds to meet others?Umberto Eco,an Italian writer,thinks it is something quite different.He says the most important invention might be right in front of your eyes.He is talking about a simple pair of glasses.
Modern eye glasses were invented around 1,000 years ago.They were more than just a convenient way to read.Before glasses were invented,writers,scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything.After about ten years of poor eyesight,they could not remember well enough and could not work.Glasses meant that people could work in their old age. People who wanted to remember some information could write it down and read it.Eye glasses are one of the world's greatest inventions and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephone and car.

VIII.阅读表达。
A powerful windstorm swept through North China this week,turning skies orange and making trees dance like crazy.According to weather reports,winds reached over 130 km/h(as strong as a tropical( 热 带 的 )storm)in mountainous areas of Beijing and Hebei, while flat areas experienced winds of 90-110 km/h.This kind of storm is very unusual for April,and it lasted for more than 48 hours,knocking down street signs and forcing airplanes to cancel flights.
Besides strong winds,the storm carried thick sand and dust from Mongolia and China's northwest deserts.The thick sand and dust darkened the sky,making it look like nighttime during the day.In cities like Beijing and Tianjin, the air pollution reached the worst level possible (Air quality indexes 空气质量指数500).People had to wear masks not only for health protection but also to avoid breathing in dirty air.Schools closed,
23
parks shut down,and delivery services received many orders as people stayed indoors.
The storm caused many dangers,including:
*Falling signs
*Flying trash and branches
*Tipped-over trucks on highways
Experts warned that the wind was strong enough to lift small vehicles.At the same time, heavy snowstorms in Inner Mongolia made the situation even worse.
How Did People Stay Safe?
Scientists gave the following advice:
☆ Close windows tightly
☆ Stay indoors
☆Move loose items inside
