 The car was invented more than a century (世纪)ago. You may know all kinds of cars’ names,but you may not know who was the inventor of the first car.

The first car was not invented by an Englishman,but by an American whose name was Henry Ford.

Henry was bom in a poor family. He was the eldest of the six children. When he was a boy,he became interested in watches and machines. Then his mother died when he was twelve years old. So he had to work in a machine shop for two dollars and fifty cents(美分)a week,and another dollar a week for repairing watches in the evenings. The hard life made him strong and cap-able(有能力的).

At that time there was a dream in the life of young Ford. He wished to make a machine. Since this machine could run without horses,it was named a “ horseless carriage (马车)”.He overcame (克服)a lot of difficulties,and in April 1893,the “horseless carriage” was invented at last. It was the first car.

Later Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company (公司). He is always a great man in the world who has changed our lives.

Wood-block printing was invented sometime between the 4th and the 7th c 1    in China. The earliest book that we have was p 2     in 868 and was found in a Dunhuang cave. Wood-block printing took a long time because a new block was needed for every p 3     in a book. By the 11th century,printed books could be f 4     all over China. They included books of Confucius’ thoughts,dictionaries,and books on maths. In 1340,books could be printed with two c 5     , black and red.

A 6     the Chinese learnt about printing so early,printing was not introduced to other parts of the world for hundreds of years. It is thought that when the great Italian traveler Marco Polo visited China in the 13th century,he s 7     printed books. It is possible that Marco Polo brought that k 8     to Europe. But printed books did not come to Europe u 9      1450,when a German called

Johann Gutenberg i 10     a printing machine. Twenty-four years later,in 1474,an Englishman called William Caxton printed the first printed book in English. His second book was about the game of chess. Caxton printed about a hundred books,and some can still be found today in museums.

 Everyone talks about the “five” senses of man. And it is true that we get our information about the outside world from our senses of sight,hearing,smell,touch and taste. Researchers tell us that the sense of sight gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies, while the other senses,the hearing,the smell,the touch,and the taste,bring into our brains information about the other 20% of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we can’t get along without,though they are seldom noticed. These are the sense of balance about our own motion,without which we would act like a drunken man,and the kinesthetic sense,which

gives us our ideas about our own motion.
