Our cities are busy and crowded. Sometimes they are not smart enough. As a teenager living in Dongguan, Guangdong, 13-year-old Wu Yuhang 1 this is a problem.
“Crossing the streets can be 2 . Drivers can’t see traffic lights (交通灯) 3 their cars are behind a bus. Some careless people can’t 4 their eyes off their phones. I once saw a big board fall 5 in a big wind and cut a tree in half. That was terrible,” said Wu. “I’m trying to find ‘smart’ ways to solve these 6 .”
To stop drivers from playing with their phones, Wu created a signal-blocking device (信号屏蔽装置) and put it at the crossing. He also 7 an assistant system (辅助系统) for traffic lights. Now it is much 8 for drivers to see traffic lights.
Wu has a big plan for his future—to be 9 engineer. “China still has a long way to go in computer science. And I will try 10 best to make our cities smarter.”

My name is Kaspar and I’m a child-sized robot. I can open and close my mouth and eyes and I can 1 show several feelings, such as happiness, sadness and surprise.
I was first made by scientists 2 2005. My job is to help children with autism (自闭症) understand feelings and language and know how 3 along with people. It 4 me twenty minutes once a week to talk and play with them. I often speak slowly to them, 5 they can better understand what I am saying. I like being touched by these children. However, if a child hurts 6 , I will hide my face in my hands and cry out, “Ouch! This hurts.” The child will then know it is wrong to hurt others. 7 clever robot I am!
I really helped some autism children. I remember 8 eight-year-old girl in the primary school. She didn’t like to be touched by others last year. But she can hug everyone now and make some friends after playing with me for some time. She is 9 than before.
As a robot for autism children, I hope 10 more helpful. I believe that scientists will make my wish come true in the future.

There are a number of animals that glow (发光) in some way—including several kinds of insects (昆虫) and fish. Some kinds of mushrooms (蘑菇) glow, too. 1 most plants don’t glow. Now scientists are working to change that.
Now, researchers at 2 Russian company, working with the scientists from 3 countries have come up with a new method of creating (创造) glowing plants. The plants 4 glow as long as they are alive.
Though mushrooms and plants glow very 5 , the scientists focused on an acid (酸) that was found in both plants and mushrooms. They added certain parts of the DNA from glowing mushrooms to ordinary tobacco (烟草) plants. In this way, the scientists 6 able to create plants that could make their own luciferin (荧光素) using this acid. The glow came from all parts of the plants—leaves, roots, and flowers. The scientists reported that the green 7 was about 10 times brighter (更亮的) than the light in earlier glowing plants. The glow was strong enough 8 easily recorded with an ordinary (普通的) camera, and it wasn’t bad 9 the health of the plants.
The researchers believe that glowing plants can help scientists learn more about the way plats work. But the researchers don’t think the plants will just be used for science. They think many people may want glowing plants for 10 beauty. The scientists have already shown that a few common flowers can be made to glow, such as roses.

Samuel Skotnikov, Changyoung Kim, and Eeshaan Prashanth are three high school students from Texas, America. Their good friend Aiden lost one of his legs in an accident and had to use 1 artificial leg. However, it was uncomfortable and difficult 2 . They noticed Aiden was having a hard time moving around with his artificial leg, 3 they decided to make him a better one.
They 4 work right away. It took 5 several months to finish their design, NeuroFlex. What makes it special is that it is controlled by (由……控制) the user’s brain, instead 6 his body. The brain signals tell NeuroFlex how the user wants to move and then NeuroFlex’s motors (发动机) support the movement. And the best part is that, compared to other artificial legs on the market, NeuroFlex costs 7 . It only costs about $1,000 to make it, while other artificial legs are at a cost of about$100,000.
Skotnikov, Kim and Prashanth attended an international science fair with their 8 , and they won third prize in the Gordon E. Moore Award.
“I can’t find the words,” Skotnikov said after winning the award, “At first, we just wanted to help fix our 9 problem. Later we found that we could help more people with NeuroFlex. 10 helping leg!

Lu Ban thought it was easy. He said to himself, “I will build enough pavilions (亭子).” So he spent the whole night 5 ten pavilions around the lake. He thought he was sure to beat his sister.
The next morning, when Lu Ban was talking proudly about his work, his sister 6 . She was holding something special in her hand. She opened it. It was round and made of silk and bamboo strips.

Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” The 1 inventions in history would be impossible without curiosity.
Curiosity can bring new discoveries. Benjamin Franklin is 2 great example. He was drawn to electricity and had a deep curiosity about its nature. He did lots of research to try to understand it. For example, he flew a kite 3 a storm. His curiosity led him to invent the lightning rod. Since then, this simple rod 4 thousands of buildings from lightning fires.
Curiosity can also make people brave. Just look at Wan Hu, the Ming Dynasty pioneer of space exploration. He was so curious about space that he invented a “flying chair”! He lost 5 life while testing this invention. 6 he failed, his dream has given ideas to many modern rocket scientists.
But curiosity is more than just taking risks. It also drives people toward certain 7 . Zhang Heng, a Chinese scientist and 8 , was curious about the world: how did everything in the world move? Night after night he was watching the stars while others 9 . Finally, he drew China’s first star map and invented the first earthquake detector. His curiosity continues 10 scientists today.
As Jacques Cousteau said, “What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on.” Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world.

An Explosive Invention
China is famous for the “Four Great Inventions”. Among them, gunpowder has perhaps had the biggest influence on the world. However, few people know that 1 original purpose was not for war.
In ancient China, many alchemists (炼丹术士) wanted to live forever. They tried 2 different natural substances to create a special medicine. During the Tang Dynasty, an accident happened. A mixture of sulfur (硫磺), charcoal (木炭), and saltpeter (硝石) suddenly caught fire and exploded. The alchemists were shocked. They realized 3 they had created a powerful new material.
At first, gunpowder was used for entertainment. 4 firecrackers became a popular way to celebrate the Spring Festival. People believed the loud noise could scare away evil spirits.
Later, the use of gunpowder changed. It 5 to make weapons like fire arrows and cannons in the Song Dynasty. The technology slowly spread to the Arab world and Europe along the Silk Road. 6 it arrived in the West, it completely changed the way wars were fought. Knights (骑士) and castles could no longer stop the power of cannons.
There is an old book 7 Wujing Zongyao. It records the earliest written formulas for gunpowder. Today, we still enjoy fireworks displays on holidays. 8 beautiful the colorful lights look in the night sky!
Gunpowder is a double-edged sword. It can bring joy, 9 it can also cause destruction. We should learn from history. People 10 love peace hope that such power will always be used wisely.

From Work wear to Fashion
Open any wardrobe (衣橱) in the world, and you will likely find a pair of blue jeans. They are 1 trousers on Earth. But did you know that jeans were originally invented for hard work, not for fashion?
In the 1850s, a man named Levi Strauss moved to California during the Gold Rush. He saw that gold miners needed strong trousers that 2 easily. Levi decided to make trousers out of denim (牛仔布), a tough fabric. He added copper rivets (铜铆钉) to make the pockets stronger 3 miners could carry heavy tools.
By the 1950s, jeans 4 a symbol of rebellion (叛逆) for teenagers. Movie stars like James Dean wore them in films. Suddenly, every young person wanted a pair. Schools even banned them at first! However, the trend was unstoppable. Jeans, which were once cheap work clothes, became a fashion item for everyone.
Today, jeans come in all shapes and colors. Making a single pair of jeans, however, requires a lot of water and chemicals. This is bad for the environment. Some companies are now trying to make “green jeans” by using less water. 5 jeans is easy, but making them sustainable is hard.
Jeans have traveled a long way from the gold mines. They prove that fashion 6 from the needs of daily life. No matter 7 styles change, jeans seem to last forever. They are comfortable, durable, and cool. It is hard to imagine a world 8 jeans do not exist. They are truly a legend 9 in blue. We should cherish this invention 10 changed the world.

Making the Night Bright
Before the late 19th century, when the sun went down, the world became dark. People relied on candles and gas lamps 1 . However, Thomas Edison, one of the greatest inventors in history, was determined to change this. He wanted to create an electric light that was safe and cheap enough for everyone.
Edison did not invent the first light bulb, but he made the first practical one. 2 part was finding the right material for the filament (灯丝). He and his team tried thousands of different materials, from cotton to bamboo. They failed again and again. Yet, Edison didn’t give up. He said, “I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways 3 won’t work.”
Finally, in 1879, he succeeded. A bulb using a carbon filament burned for 13.5 hours. It was a huge success. Soon, his invention 4 to the public. The news spread quickly in newspapers around the world. People were 5 that a small glass ball could turn night into day.
Edison’s success teaches us a lesson about persistence (坚持). Giving up was never an option for him. He believed that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration (汗水). Today, 6 we turn on a light, we should thank the man who lit up the world. 7 we have LED lights now, the principle remains the same. The light bulb is 8 important an invention that we cannot imagine life without it. It allows us to work and 9 long after sunset. It is truly 10 symbol of human intelligence.

Last month, a major scientific discovery in artificial intelligence 1 the National Innovation Prize. The invention—an intelligent learning system—didn’t happen 2 accident. A research team worked hard for over five years before they finally succeeded.
This system is designed to help students learn more efficiently. It can process 3 pieces of learning information and spread much knowledge in a more vivid and understandable way. For example, it uses virtual reality to 4 students to “travel” inside a cell or “walk” on Mars. Teachers can use it to make 5 easier to explain difficult concepts.
What’s more, the system encourages students to learn by themselves. They can imagine 6 their own science projects or doing experiments in a simulated lab. It offers 7 every day—maybe a challenging maths game or an interesting historical story.
8 encouraging it is to see technology changing education! This system is even 9 than we thought. It hardly leaves any student behind—whether they learn fast 10 need more time.
We’re living in a wonderful time full of creativity and discoveries. Maybe one day, you will also create something important that helps people around the world!
