Great inventions change the world. Ancient China had four great inventions: papermaking, compass, gunpowder and movabletype printing.
Before papermaking was improved by Cai Lun, people wrote on heavy bamboo or expensive silk. Cai Lun made paper from fishing nets and ropes. Papermaking spread to other countries quickly. The compass helped sailors find directions when they sailed on the sea. Gunpowder was first used in fireworks and later used in wars. Bi Sheng’s movabletype printing made it easier to spread knowledge around the world. These four inventions speeded up the development of human society.

“Need is the mother of invention.” Most great inventions are born from reallife problems, but the road to success is always full of failures.
Shi Guangyin is a great fighter against deserts. In the 1980s, sandstorms troubled northwest China seriously. He and villagers planted many young trees. Unluckily, terrible sandstorms killed most young trees after a few years. Instead of giving up, he asked experts for advice and tried again. Finally, he made large areas of deserts turn green.
Bi Sheng’s movabletype printing is another good example. Before that, block printing wasted lots of wood and time. When there were mistakes on the wooden board, the whole board was useless. Bi Sheng created clay movable characters. People could reuse them for different books. It greatly helped knowledge spread across the world.
Inventions are not magic. They come from seeing problems bravely and keeping trying after failures.
( )36. Most great inventions come from ________ according to the text.
A. nice dreams B. reallife problems
C. old storybooks D. rich people’s wishes
( )37. What trouble did Shi Guangyin meet at first?

B. A good idea means quick success.
C. Only ancient people can make inventions.
D. Honours mean no difficulties any more.
