         Children actually are pretty smart and most people just don't give them enough credit. I bet another thing
    that you never realized is that children have actually invented several different things. I am going to list 4 of
    my favorites, but there are many more available.
    Toy Truck
         Can you believe that a 6-year-old boy invented it in 1963? His name was Robert Patch. He created a toy
    truck because he wanted a truck of his own that he could take apart and put back together. He first drew
    up a sketch of the truck on paper before he got help in getting a patent.
    Television
         We all know the first TV came out in the late 1920s. This is something that everyone has already known,
    but did you know the TV was invented by a 14-year-old boy? It took him several years to get the idea in
    motion, but he did it. A teenager came up with something every household owns today.
    Popsicle (冰棒)
         This is something that you may think a child probably invented, but you never knew for sure. Back in the
    early 1900s an 11-year-old boy named Epperson had an idea to make his own version of pop. So he worked
    outside on a cold day and he couldn't get his mixture right. He left his glass filled with his idea and stirring
    stick, and went to bed. When he came back outside it was frozen on the stick. The first Popsicle named the
    Epsicle came into being.
    Braille (布莱叶盲文)
         This is something that I find truly amazing. Louis Braille, born on January 4, 1809, came up with this great
    idea because he was blinded in an accident when he was three years old. When he was 15 years old he was in
    blind school and created what we all know as Braille. This is something that has helped millions of blind people.
    1. According to the author we learn that _____.
    A. parents always think highly of their children
    B. few inventions were created by children in history
    C. children's inventions were known to most people
    D. most people usually underestimate children
    2. What is the characteristic of the toy truck that little Robert invented?
    A. It is easy to operate and can run by itself.
    B. It is big enough for a kid to get into.
    C. It can be taken apart and put back together.
    D. It is just like a real truck and runs fast.
    3. What can we learn about Epsicle's inventing the first Popsicle?
    A. He invented the first Popsicte by chance.
    B. He put a glass of mixture outside on purpose.
    C. He put a stick in the glass to make a Popsicle.
    D. He made use of cold weather to make a drink.
    4. Which invention made by the young inventor is the earliest one according to the passage?
    A. Popsicle.
    B. Toy Truck.
    C. Television.
    D. Braille.
    1-4 D C A D

    Before World War Ⅱ Chicago, Illinois, standing at the southern end of huge Lake Michigan, had the reputation(名声)of being one of the toughest, most lawless and corrupt(腐败的) cities in the world. It earned its ill reputation largely from those who sold strong wine during the days of 1919 to 1933, when a law forbade Americans to make or sell strong wine in any form.

    Chicagoans have a great pride in their city. They say it is of great importance to the nation than New York. It is the center of American commerce(商业 ) and transportation. O’Hare Airport is the busiest airport in the world. 44 million passengers pass through it every year, and there are 2000 take offs and landings every day.

    Chicago is also a great inland port(港).It can send goods by oceangoing ships all the way to Europe-via the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence Seaway. It can send goods by barge(驳船),through water-way and canals, to the Mississippi and down it to the Gulf of Mexico.
