10、w the famous ones, the Thomas Edison and the Alexander Graham Bells, but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (刮雨器)? Shouldnt we know who they are?Joan Mclean thinks so.In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain

11、University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic.In addition to learning “who” invented “what”， however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions.According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to the

12、se questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree.One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLeans statement.“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers inventio

13、n，” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson

14、 came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City.The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a street car.Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there cou

15、ldnt be a builtin device for cleaning the window.Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions.One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.To

16、day we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.Its hard to imagine driving without Garrett AMorgans traffic light.Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine JBlodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible.Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?26By ment

17、ioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”， the author indicates that countless inventions are _.Abeneficial, because their inventors are famousBbeneficial, though their inventors are less famousCnot useful, because their inventors are less famousDnot useful, though their inventors are famous27Pr

21、elop Invention Courses in Universities?BScratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts. The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the fl

22、u (流感), and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart.Thats because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in.As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking overthecounter remedy, the sooner relief will come. The common cold and t

23、he flu are both caused by viruses.More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three virusesflu A, B and CThere is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the

24、 ALA.But if the flu does strike, quick action can help.Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for. Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever.On th

25、e other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages.And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms. The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and

26、preschool age children have the flu.It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flulike symptoms.Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with overthecounter medications as well.However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of th

27、e risk of Reye syndrome (综合症), a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold.But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.31According to the author,

28、 knowing the cause of the misery will help _.Ashorten the duration of the illnessBthe patient buy medicine over the counterCthe patient obtain cheaper prescription drugsDprevent people from catching colds and the flu32We learn from the passage that _.Aone doesnt need to take any medicine if he has a

29、 cold or the fluBaspirin should not be included in overthecounter medicines for the fluCdelayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous systemDoverthecounter drugs can be taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the flu33According to the passage, to combat the flu effectivel

30、y, _.Aone should identify the virus which causes itBone should consult a doctor as soon as possibleCone should take medicine upon catching the diseaseDone should remain alert when the disease is spreading34Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold?AA stuffy nose. BA high t

31、emperature.CA sore throat. DA dry cough.35If children have flulike symptoms, their parents _.Aare advised not to give them aspirinBshould watch out for signs of Reye syndromeCare encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccinationDshould prevent them from mixing with people running a feverCResearche

34、pley, the director of the British Antarctic Survey, which will run the 19 million pounds project.“You have your power supply, youve got your waste disposal (处理), and youve got your general maintenance (维护), your communication, and so on.”“Its an airport because our aircraft land there.Its a seaportw

35、hen the ship comes in, you have to take out the new materials and put the waste inside.Its a very difficult operation.”British scientists have worked on the sea ice at Halley Bay for almost 50 years.It was there that the “hole” in the ozone layer (臭氧层) was first spotted in 1985.The design competitio

59、hey should devote themselves completely to their jobs.All of these ideas are, of course, true to a certain degree but they are perhaps a little too simple.It is impossible for anyone to love everyone they know, and teachers deal with a great large number of students over the years.On the other hand,
