    There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today--the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
    For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect(影响) as the wheel. Then in the early 1800's the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore(探测) much anymore. They began to work instead to make life better.
    In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.
    The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.
    By this time most people had a very good life, Man has a desire to explore again, the world was known to man but the stars were not.  Man began to look for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.
    In 1969, man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

    On May 17, 2009, according to the plan, Mike Good and I would take a space walk to the Hubble Space Telescope to repair an instrument. The power supply on this instrument had failed, so it could no longer be used. I would be the person doing the repair and Mike my assistant.

    Working in space is more difficult than you can imagine. As there is no gravity, you can't stand and any slight push can result in tragedy -you can be pushed into space, never be back.

    We got to the telescope. Before we could replace the power supply, we would have to remove from the telescope a handrail fixed with four screws. Having taken out the first three, I found the fourth stripped. I realized that the handrail would not come off, which meant we could no longer be able to replace the power supply and repair that instrument, which meant scientists could no longer look at the universe and find life on other planets.

    I tried all kinds of things, and nothing worked. Then Houston, the control centre on the earth, called up and told me to use the tape to tape the bottom of the handrail and pull it off the telescope. They said it was going to take about 27 kilograms of force for me to do that.

    I knew what it meant: The handrail could be completely pulled off and the safety tether might break, and I might therefore be pushed into space.

    Mike was next to me in his space suit but he could not take over my role. I turned and looked into the cabin where my five crewmates were, and nobody in there had a space suit on. However, I knew they were all looking at me. "Come on Mass, we are all behind you." The telescope must be repaired.

    "Bam!" The handrail came right off. The rest of the walk went well. We finally got the new power supply in. They tried it; turned it on from the ground. The instrument came back to life.

    At the edge of darkness, after about eight hours, I turned around and saw the Earth from our altitude at Hubble, 568 kilometers up. I saw the huge round pure blue globe home planet. It's the most beautiful, magnificent thing I've ever seen. It's like looking into heaven. It's paradise.

According to some old Chinese stories, there once was  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ancient emperor named Shennong.  At  that time, people could not tell the difference between medicinal (药用的) and poisonous (有毒的) plants.  When they got sick, there was no medicine to treat their illnesses.  Many sick people could only wait for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (die). 

To save his people, Shennong decided {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (find) and test out different plants.  He and his followers {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (set) out on a journey in search of medicinally effective plants.  Once, they saw a large forest on a high cliff (悬崖) from a distance.   {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  there must be many different kinds of plants, they couldn't find a way to the cliff.   {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (sudden) , they saw some monkeys climbing along the vines and trees hanging down from the  cliff.  Shennong was inspired by the scene.  He asked his followers to cut down the tree trunks and vines.  Together they built a scaffold (脚手架).   With its help, they climbed to the cliff and collected many {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (value)

plants. 

Each time the team found a new type of plant, Shennong would taste it  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (he).  Some plants made him sleepy.  Some caused him to suffer pains in his stomach.  Some made him tremble ( 颤抖) all over.   {#blank#}9{#/blank#} searching and testing over a long period of time, he and his followers managed to discover hundreds of medicinal plants. 

One day, Shennong tested a poisonous plant by mistake, and passed away later.  People covered him with thousands of flowers.  From then on, Shennong {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (call) the "Emperor of Medicine".

 When shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well. To me, if it zips, it fits. My mom, however, usually tells me I need a bigger size.

 When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size made it impossible. When mo m told me something didn't suit me, or I needed a bigger size, all I heard was that my body was wrong.

 To avoid arguments, we stopped going shopping together. This continued until  I got engaged(订婚) last year and needed to buy some clothes. When I tried on a blouse. my mother looked at me, and I knew what was coming." You need a bigger size," she said.

 There was no bigger size. I tried to hold back my tears. Maybe I could buy it alone, of course, but my mom is my favorite person to hang out with The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just as scary as taking her with me.

 And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress. I saw tears in my mom's eyes. " You look beautiful! " she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.

 This one didn't zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn't say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. In that moment, all the argument s in the past ended. We didn't buy a dress that day.

 We decided to see more, which I would never have predicted.

A few weeks later, we found the perfect dress. We both loved it as soon as I put it on. And during those few weeks, mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shopping relationship.

 One day, Mathilde borrowed a diamond necklace(钻石项链) from her friend Forestier for a party. 

 The night arrived, Mathilde was a great success. She was prettier than any other woman. When Mathilde got home, she took off her coat before the glass to see herself once more when, suddenly, she cried, "I have—I have—I' ve lost the necklace!"

 Her husband Loisel stood up, "What! How? Impossible!"

 They looked everywhere, but found nothing. Loisel said to his wife, "We must think about how to replace that necklace. "

 The next day, they found a similar(相似的) necklace. They could have it for 36, 000 frances. Loisel had 18, 000 francs, which his father had left him. He finally had the money after borrowing the rest here and there. 

 Mathilde was afraid that Forestier would open the box when she gave her the necklace. Luckily, she didn't. 

 After that, the Loisels were going through a hard time. Mathilde washed the dishes and tried her best to save money. Her husband worked every day and night, in hope of making more money. This life lasted ten years. In the end, they had paid off all debts(债务). But Madame became what she once hated: strong and rough. 

 One Sunday, Mathilde saw Forestier who was still young and beautiful. She went up. "Good-day, dear. " Forestier didn't recognize her, "Madame! I don't know you. You must have mistaken. "

"No. I'm Mathilde Loisel. "

"Oh! How you have changed!"

"Do you remember that necklace you lent me?"

"Yes. Well?"

"I lost it, so we bought another exactly like it and it took us ten years to pay for it. You can understand it was not easy for us, who had nothing. But I'm very glad because we' ve done it. "

 Forestier looked at her pitifully, "Why? My necklace was a fake! It cost only 500 francs!"
