There have been many great inventions or things that change the way we live. The first great invention is the one that is still very important today—the wheel. This makes it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.

For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore much any more. They began to work in order 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 play a big part in our daily 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, jet planes in 1930. It was also a time when a new material was first made—Nylon (尼龙),which came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.

The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. 

By this time most people in developed countries had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire (渴望) to explore again. The Earth was known to man but stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia, United States, China and Japan have made their own steps into space.

In 1969, man took his biggest step away from the Earth. Americans first walked on the Moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamt of.

Now many foreigners like to pick a Chinese name for themselves. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Maybe they'd better know the following things about Chinese names first.

First, there is a big difference between a Chinese name and a Western name. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}A Chinese name puts the family name first and the given name last.

Second, Chinese given names usually have meanings. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}For example, "丽" shows that the parents want their child to stay beautiful; "健" shows that the parents wish their child to be healthy.

It's a good way for foreigners to pick a Chinese name that sounds like their Western name. But it would be better to use Chinese words that carry special meanings at the same time. For example, if a girl's name is Macy, she can pick "美诗" as her Chinese name. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Picking a right Chinese name is never easy. Do you want to show us your Chinese name? Would you like to pick a Chinese name for your foreign friend?

A. It sounds close to Macy and has a good meaning.

B. However, some of them have got really funny Chinese names.

C. One has to know something about Chinese culture (文化) and history.

D. A Western name puts the given name first and the family name last.

E. Most of the time, one's name carries good wishes from his parents.
