Man has made many interesting inventions since the beginning of time. Some of these inventions like numbers, words and radios have certainly changed history.
One of the most important inventions is the computer. It has changed all our lives.
People built the first computer at Harvard University in 1944. It was as large as a room and quite difficult and slow to operate.

People can make computers smaller than books. And computers are getting smaller and smaller all the time.
The computer can do a lot of work. It is very useful to us. Firstly, it can keep a lot of news and messages. Secondly, the computer can operate very fast -- thousands of times faster than a man, and it won’t be tired. Thirdly, people can build computers into other kinds of machines, like radios, cars and planes.

Seeing Mr. Hunt sitting on the branch, he stopped and said, “Excuse me, but if you keep sawing(继续锯树)the branch like that, you will fall down(倒下)with it.” He said this because Mr. Hunt was sitting on the branch and cutting it at a place between himself and the trunk(树干)of the tree.
