Newspapers have been published in the 　7　world for about four hundred years.　Most of the newspapers 　8　today are read in Europe and North America.　However,　　9　they may be read in all parts of the world，　10　to the new inventions that are changing the techniques of newspaper 　11　.?

Electronics and automation（自动化） have made it 　12　to produce pictures and texts far more quickly than before.　Photographic（照相的） copying doesn't 　13　to use type（铅字） and printing machines.And fewer specialists（专家），　14　type?setters，are needed to produce a paper? or magazine by the 　15　method.　Therefore，the publishing of newspapers and magazines can 　16　more money.　Besides，photocopies can be sent over great 　17　now by means of ?television　channels and satellites such as Telstar.　Thus（因此），　18　can be brought to the public　more quickly than before.?

Machines that prepare printed texts for photocopies are being used a great deal today.　Film，　 19 　 light and small，can be sent rapidly to other places and used to print copies of the text 　20　they are needed.　Film pictures can also be projected（投影） easily on a movie or television screen.?

　　An idea ? ? ? David one evening. If only his mother's cane didn't slip on the ice. “What if I ? ? ? your cane to a nail coming out of the bottom” he asked his mother.

　　“ ? ? ? the sharp end would scratch(划破) floors,” Susan said.

　　“No, Mom, I ? ? make it like a ball-point pen. You take your hand off? the button and the ? ? ? returns back up.” Hours later the cane was finished. David and his father ? ? ? as Susan used it to walk 50 feet about the ? ? ? . Happily Susan cried out, “It ? ? ? !”

In July 1999, David was? ? ? national winner for the "INVENT AMERICA". David began to make public appearance. Thus he was forced to communicate ? ? .Today, David is nearly free of his speech problem, and his cane is becoming well accepted.

　　A scientist who developed a way to calculate(计算) how much water is used in the produciton of anything form a cup of coffee to a hamburger was awarded the 2008 Stockholm Water Prize.
　　Professor John Anthony Allan of the University of London in Britain won the award for introducing the idea of "virtual water(虚拟水)",a calculation method that has changed the nature of trade policy and research.
　　Allan has written seven books and published more than 100 papers.
　　The Stockholm International Water Institute said this idea is now embedded(埋藏) in the production of foods and industrial products.The institute said Allan's work had made a big effect on global trade policy and research,especially in water - scarce(缺水) regions.
　　"The improved understanding of trade and water management issues on local,regional and global scales are of the highest value for the successsful and sustainable(可持续的) use of water resources,"it said.
　　"People do not only use water when they drink it or take a shower,"the institute said. "Behind the morning cup of coffee,there are 140 liters of water that was used to grow,produce,package and ship the beans."That is about as much water as a person in England uses on average for all daily drinking and household needs.
　　"For a single hamburger,about 2,400 liters of water are needed.In te USA ,the average person uses nearly 7,000 liters of virtual water every day" It said that was more than three times the average use of a Chinese person.
