Peoples mail got wet whe
11、never it rained, so Goodyear was trying to make a canvas bag that was covered in rubber. 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 st
12、ove. When he got the rubber off the stove, he realized the heat had changed it. The rubber 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 - 3 -rubber soles（鞋底）that we call sneakers.When a new
13、brand called Keds hit the market in 1917, the name “sneakers” was born. Other shoes at this 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 witho
14、ut being heard.For many years, people wore sneakers only when playing sports. Sneakers became 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 p
15、eople to express themselves. Pretty soon, sneakers werent just for the playing field or the tennis court. People wore them just about anywhere: to school, the office, and even parties.21.

18、ho just waited on me,“ he said, pointing to an employee of the fast food restaurant 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
19、 we have done is to create several generations of individuals most of whom have no idea 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
20、computers. Information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think 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
21、 hands. They can use calculators, but cannot add, subtract（减）, divide, or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play. Although most of them are technically educated, they choose not to read. They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination
22、to stay - 4 -interested in a book. Therefore, we must do something to help our children. If we dont, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn even basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity. Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, lets concentr
23、ate on good old-fashioned literacy reading books. Students must see how things work and how processes lead to results, and they must also stretch their imagination.25.

Within a year, the - 5 -Cinematographe was born. It was much smaller and could be viewed by larger audiences.Louis came up with
31、a new design for moving the film inside their Cinematoscope. He was inspired by the 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
32、of wire, he fastened the film to the machines motor. A continuous display of frames 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. Another film The Arrival of a Train showed th
