Umbrellas have a long history. People in different parts of the world began to 35 umbrellas at different times. The Chinese had them more than 3,000 years ago. From there, umbrellas 36 to India and Egypt. In Greece and Rome, 37 wouldn’t use them. They believed umbrellas were only for women.

Inventions make our life easier and better. A big invention makes us feel it all the time. There are also small inventions around us which are 41 and interesting.
Do you ever find it annoying to look for the TV remote Are you tired of 42 shoes when playing different sports Don't worry. Students at Clayton Middle School in the US might be able to 43 you.
Dylan Glick, an 8-grade student, thought 44 the idea of a "retractable remote(可伸缩遥控器)". The remote has a rope to connect with its resting place. 45 people push a button on the remote, the rope will give the remote back to its resting place.
"It is something that I would use, and I'm sure 46 parents would use, too." said Glick. He said that sometimes at night when he wants to go to bed, he needs at least ten minutes 47 the remote. So he came up with the 48 .
Allison Bicking, also a student in Grade Eight, had 49 similar idea. Bicking is a soccer player. She 50 spiked shoes when she practices running. If she plays soccer after she runs, she has to change her shoes.
To solve the 51 , she designed many kinds of shoes. Finally, she invented "speedy spikes(钉鞋)" after three months' hard 52 . The spikes are retractable with a small button on each shoe. If you push the button, the spikes will come out or go back into the shoe 53 , making the shoes suit different kinds of sports. It seems that inventing something is not 54 . Inspirations(灵感) always come from your daily life, so keep your eyes open. Maybe the next great 55 who will make a difference to our life is you!

The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes (the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached (连着) to the face Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he/she just has high blood pressure (高血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.

Mr. White is sixty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and often says that life used to be better than nowadays.

How I study English
I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject—English. It was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs. The songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary (词汇) . Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!
Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.

七、任务型阅读
Reading is a wonderful habit to develop. It is a great thing to do when you are bored. Here are some ways to develop the habit.
Start by reading a few minutes every day. Read every day, even if it is just for 10 minutes. Read when you get up early or before you go to bed. If you can, read at the same time every day. This will make your brain regard it as “reading time”.
Read what you are interested in. Reading can be a trouble if you do not like the book. Reading books that you enjoy will help you stick to (坚持) your habit and become a reader. Once you have great interest in it, it’s hard to put a book down.
Carry a book everywhere. Books can be heavy and big, which used to make it hard to read everywhere. Now you can read books on a smartphone. When you are waiting for a bus or waiting in line at a store, open your book app and read. If you cannot read on an app, find a book that is easy to carry with you.
Set a reading goal. A goal is something you are trying to achieve. Maybe your goal will be to read 5 or 10 books this year, or you even try to read 100. Setting a goal will remind you to read every day. Reaching it will make you feel good and make reading even more fun.
78．How often does the writer suggest readin (不超过5个词)
79．What is the advantage for people to read books that they enjoy (不超过15个词)
80．What will remind you to read every day (不超过5个词)

86．例文
Mobile phones are without doubt one of the most useful inventions. It was invented by an American called Martin Cooper in the 1970s.
I should say that the mobile phones have really changed our lives. First, it's more convenient to communicate with others by using the mobile phones. Second, people are used to taking photos with mobile phones instead of cameras. And we can even go shopping, listen to music and watch movies on the phone. Third, we can easily learn something useful by surfing online. In this way, it helps us study.
In my opinion, we teenagers should be allowed to use mobile phones, but not on weekdays. And it's necessary to use them in the right way with the help of our teachers and parents.
