The bicycle is one of the simplest (最简单的)yet most useful inventions in the world.

Those things  were not produced  2   long after he died．

A person riding a bicycle use  3   energy(能量)to make the bicycle move, and there is no pollution at all when you are riding. Even so, m developed  4  , most people don't travel to  work by bicycle. It is not because the bicycles are expensive or people feel   5   if they ride to  work. It's because  6   cars on the roads becomes larger. It certainly becomes  7   to ride a bi-cycle. As a result, more people put their bicycles away and go to work  8   their cars and, in this way, the situation(情形)is made more serious.  9   the best way to make riding safer and more popular is to create paths(开设通道)only for bicycles, and to make  10  so difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bicycles．

    Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet，but what is it?

    The Internet is many different networks around the world. A network is a group of computers put together. These networks joined together are called the Internet．

    Maybe that doesn’t sound interesting. But when we’ve joined the Internet, there are lots of  things we can do．We can find lots of interesting information on the World Wide Web(www)．We can use the Internet instead of a library to find all kinds of information for our homework.

Unit 10 When was it invented?（参考答案）

  Unit 10

 1. We can see many inventions around us every day. Some of them have already changed our life and made our world more beautiful.

  Paper is a kind of useful invention. There was no paper for people to use a few thousand years ago．A lot of inventors in China wanted to find a new way for people to make a thing that could be written on．It must be cheap and light enough．A kind of paper has already been invented at the beginning of Han Dynasty, but it was too thin and soft, so most authors preferred to use the heavy bamboo rather than to use this kind of paper．

    At that time, there was a man named Cai Lun. He was very familiar with the technique and then he made a new kind of paper which was based on that. This new kind of paper was made of wood，used cloth and something that was very cheap and quite easy to get. As a result, people now in the world are still using the paper which is made by the way that Cai Lun began to use．
