Do you have bright ideas?Ideas for inventions that change the world or, at least, make life easier for somebody?P 1 we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a real thing.Recently, there was a competition in a country, which encouraged young people to make their bright ideas come true.There were t 2 groups in the contest:Group A was for school children under 16; Group B was for those o 3 16.And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.
Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was c 4 “Sunshine Superman”by one newspaper writing about his design.When people study the weather, it’s important to be able to record the sunshine accurately.We need to know how many h 5 of sunshine we have and how strong it is.Most sunshine recorders o 6 record direct(直接的)sunshine.Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power.Neil plans to keep inventing.
The ideas in the competition were so g 7 that we are surprised that the industry(工业界)doesn’t ask more school children for suggestions.
