Have you ever seen or used a saw, or ju in Chinese? Do you know who invented it?
The inventor was Lu Ban. He was born in the state of Lu in ancient China more than 2,500 years ago. That is where Qufu lies in the east of Jining.
Lu Ban was the greatest carpenter (木匠) in his time. Once the king ordered him and his team to build a palace in a very short time. They would be punished if they missed the deadline (最后期限). They had only axes, or fuzi in Chinese, to cut the trees and prepare the wood for the palace, so the work went very slowly.
One day Lu Ban rushed up the hill to see how things were going. Suddenly the sharp teeth of a leaf cut his hand. Then a bright idea came into his head. Soon he made a tool with teeth along the side of a long iron bar (条状物). With this tool, work became much faster, and they completed the work before the deadline.
That is how the saw was invented.
Lu Ban invented many other useful tools for carpenters and interesting toys for children. The Wooden Bird, for example, could stay in the air for three days!

A. Use only axes. B. Build a palace quickly.
C. Cut down the trees. D. Prepare the wood.

When I was in Grade 8, I had a heated argument with my classmate, Tony. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.
I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what color the object was. “White,” Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking.

A. He would forget the arguments.
B. He would sit in the front of the class.
C. He would stand in other people’s shoes.

In my mind, the greatest invention is the Internet. It helps us talk to friends and family far away, learn new knowledge, and find fun games and videos. With the help of it, our lives become so much easier and more interesting.
Inventions are very important for our lives. They help us do things faster and better. For example, the washing machine lets us clean a whole basket of clothes in just half an hour, saving hours of hand-washing. With smartphones, we can take beautiful photos, chat with our friends and pay for shopping in seconds. These inventions make our lives more convenient and help us stay connected. Without inventions, life would be much harder and less fun.
