Look at the pictures below. Do you know why these things were developed or invented

  A few years ago, Masaru Ibuka, the head of Sony, was at a company planning meeting. Suddenly he had an idea. He stopped the meeting and asked everyone what would happen if Sony took away the recording function(录音功能) and speakers and sold headphones with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was silly(愚蠢的). Still, Ibuka kept his idea and worked at it. The result, of course, turned out to be the successful Sony Walkman.

  Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making cakes for his son, he asked himself what would happen if he poured rubber into his cake iron(模具). Later, he tried it and the result looked something like the bottom(底) of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took this idea to several shoe companies, he was laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather disappointed, Bowerman went on to form his own company, making NIKE sports shoes.

  We know today, of course, that each of these ideas caused a successful thing that has changed the way many of us live. The best questions are usually open-ended and are often “silly”. Children aren't afraid to ask such questions, but adults(成年人) usually are. Think how different the world might be if people never asked “silly” questions!

[  ]

A.none

[  ]

3.Bill Bowerman got his idea from ________.

[  ]

A.they thought his idea was silly

B.they didn't know how to make sports shoes

C.his idea was hard to come true

D.it was difficult to pour rubber into the cake iron

The giant panda is one of the most popular animals in the world. A giant panda can grow up to 1.5 meters long and weigh up to 160kg. People think the giant panda is very lovely. ①So it is not surprising that the World Wide Fund for Nature chose the giant panda as its symbol. The WWF tells people about animals that they are in danger and raises money to save them.
The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. In the early 1980s, were only 1,000 left in the wild. The main reason why pandas are endangered is that the area where pandas can live has become smaller.
The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways that helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves(自然保护区). Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to make “corridors”. These are paths that lead from one reserve to another. No one may harm the pandas in these areas. The corridors let pandas move from one habitat(栖息地) to another to look for food. ②People are working very hard to make sure the giant panda does not die out.
