Peoples mail got wet whenever it rained, so Goodyear was trying to make a canvas bag that was covered in rubb

11、er. But the rubber always fell off easily since it was either too soft or too hard. Discouraged by his failed attempts, one day Goodyear shook a spoonful of sticky rubber, and a small drop of it landed on the hot stove. When he got the rubber off the stove, he realized the heat had changed it. The r

12、ubber was now strong and flexible. Goodyears discovery not only helped him make his canvas and rubber mailbag, it also led to the invention of canvas shoes with rubber soles（鞋底）that we call sneakers.When a new brand called Keds hit the market in 1917, the name “sneakers” was born. Other shoes at thi

13、s time were still clunky, so they made a lot of noise as people walked. But the rubber soles on Keds made it possible for people to walk very quietly. Wearing these noiseless shoes, a person could pass by without being heard.For many years, people wore sneakers only when playing sports. Sneakers bec

14、ame part of the youth culture. A famous actor named James Dean was photographed wearing sneakers, jeans, and a white T-shirt. Teenagers everywhere wanted to copy the look. Wearing sneakers was a way for young people to express themselves. Pretty soon, sneakers werent just for the playing field or th

15、e tennis court. People wore them just about anywhere: to school, the office, and even parties.21. Why was it difficult to make a waterproof mailbag? A.

That young woman who just waited on me, he said, pointing to an employee of the fast food restaurant

18、where we were eating, had to call someone over to help her count change. The cash register (收银机) showed her I needed 99 cents, but she couldnt figure out how to count out the coins.” I understood Mikes concern. What we have done is to create several generations of individuals most of whom have no id

19、ea how to reason; how to do simple math; how to do research; or, finally, how to be creative. The reason for this is our overuse of information technology: video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computers. Information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think

20、about it and let us perform operations without understanding them. It is time we took a hard look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids cant tell time if the clock has hands. They can use calculators, but cannot add, subtract（减）, divide, or multiply. V

21、ideo games have taken the place of active, imaginative play. Although most of them are technically educated, they choose not to read.

Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, lets concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy reading books. Students must see how things work and ho

27、 Lyons largest technical school, La Martiniere.Antoine was often up to date with the latest developments in the photography industry of those times.

31、irregular movement of a sewing machine, as it would allow each frame to be stationary （停止的）just long enough. To achieve this, he created tiny holes along the sides of the film strip（胶卷）, and using a short thin piece of wire, he fastened the film to the machines motor. A continuous display of frames

32、would then give the illusion （错觉）of movement.Their first film was Workers Leaving the Lumire Factory, which showed workers at their factory leaving at the end of the day.
