Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. 1      Sure. Zhang Heng,Bi Sheng. And every night,I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?

  Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago,and has been made from silk,cotton,bamboo,and since the 19th century,from wood. 2      Sure. Zhang Heng,Bi Sheng. Sure. Zhang Heng,Bi Sheng. But in those days,books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result,they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many books,few people learned to read.

3       When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11 th century,books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result,more people learned to read. 4      

Today information can be received online,downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books,and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.

Computers are already used in classrooms,and newspapers and magazines can already be read online.

5       No,I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!

  It has been more than two thousand years since we  began to use an umbrella on rainy days. However,people  often felt it not convenient to 1       an umbrella while working. Then the rubber raincoat was 2       by an;Englishman named Macintosh in 1823.

  In 1492,Columbus,a well-known Italian voyager, discovered the New World—the America. He brought a lot of things to Europe from South America. Rubber was \ one of them,but people didn’t know the use of rubber at  that time. In 1770,people found that the rubber could  I be 3       as erasers.

Macintosh was a 4       in an eraser factory in  Scotland. One day he spilled the rubber liquid over his j clothes carelessly when making erasers. He was too busy   to 5       it and went back home wearing the dirty  clothes. On the way home,it 6       heavily. Having no   umbrella,Macintosh had to run home quickly. When he — got home,he took off the 7       clothes. To his surprise, the area of the clothes with rubber wasn’t wet. “ Why not 1 make a rubber raincoat?” Macintosh thought. The next day he brushed the rubber liquid all over a coat. He           8        the “rubber coat” on rainy days and took a walk            in the field to test if it could really keep off the rain. \ Surprisingly,the clothes inside the rubber coat ” weren’t wet at all. The rubber raincoat was created in i this way by 9      

The rubber raincoats soon appeared on the market. However,they were sticky in summer and hardened in winter. Year after year,people kept on 10 the raincoats. Today raincoats are widely used in our daily life.
