A
Study up on African American inventors
We celebrate Black History Month in February, but you should be thanking these
African
American inventors year- round! Their innovative ideas helped change the world.
Thomas L. Jennings
was one of the very first black inventors to get a patent in 1821.

Jen
nings’s creation—
a dry-cleaning method
—
is just one of thousands dreamed up by
Americans. Here are some cool creations.
Levis Latimer
( 1848-1928) contributed to a better lightbulb in 1881 with an improved
type of carbon filament(
碳丝
). He worked with Thomas Edison.
George Crum
( 1822-1914) cooked up potato chips in hearing that his fries
were too thick, he sliced up a potato thinly and fried it .The flat fries were a hit ,and
chips were born.
George Washington Carver
(1864-1943) mixed up more than 300 products from peanuts. He
also found 75 uses for pecans.

Elijah McCoy
(1843-1929) was on the right track when he came up with his oil-dripping
cup. The device kept engines oiled so trains don’t need to stop to keep from overheating.

John Lee Love
was a
sharp guy. He invented a type of pencil sharpener so he didn’t
have to use a knife to perfect his pencil’s point. He patented the device in 1897.

Charles Drew
(1904-1950) came up with a great idea for saving lives. He figured out
a way to preserve blood .His idea for blood banks has helped countless people.
Patricia Bath
(1942-) created a device that made eye surgery(
手术
) safer and faster.
The first African American female doctor to get a patent also started an eye institute in
1976.
You’d better not forget
Madam C. J. Walker (1867-1919)! She dreamed up a product to
regrow hair .The dream cream made her millions of dollars.

passage is written_______ .
A. to introduce some important inventions .
honor of African Americans inventors.
remind readers to respect African Americans.
D. to tell readers how to come up with innovative ideas.
B
Known
as
“The
man
with
the
Golden
Arm”,
ne
arly
every
week
for
the
past
60
years,
James
Harrison has donated blood from his right arm. The reasons can date back a serious medical
operation.
At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units
(3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards.
The blood donations
saved his life, and he decided that
once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains
an antibody(
抗体
) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (
流
产),
retired
as
a
blood
donor
on
May
11.
Harrison’s
blood
is
valuable
because
he
naturally
produces
Rh-negative
blood,
which
contains
Rh-positive
antibodies.
His
blood
has
been
used
to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of Anti
-
D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the
Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved
millions
of
babies.
I
cry
just
thinking
about
it.”
Since
then,

Harrison
has
donated
between
500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his
right arm and 10 from his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was
time
to
stop
the
donations
—

and
they
certainly
don’t
take
them
lightly.
They
had
already
extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to
protect
his
health.
He
made
his
final
donation
surrounded
by
some
of
the
mothers
and
babies
who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160
·
5
·

donors
support
the
program,
and
finding
new
donors
has
proven
to
be
difficult.
But
Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out o
f the game.
Scientists
are
collecting
and
cataloging
his
DNA
to
create
a
library
of
antibodies
and
white
blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.

C
In today’s fiercely competitive business environment, companies need to communicate
information concerning a whole range of issues in a clear and precise manner to their
customers. This is particularly so in the case of companies do business in areas such as
manufacturing,
information
technology
(IT),
engineering
products
and
services
—

companies
whose products and services may not be understood by a customer not familiar with its
technical aspects.
These communication materials are prepared in a company these days by “technical
·

·

writers” —
people who can effectively communicate to an intended audience.
Technical writing and writing text- books have nothing in common. The former is aimed
at
those
who
do
not
have
an
in-depth
knowledge
about
a
product
and
therefore
should
be
direct
and easy to understand. Too many technical terms would only add to the confusion of the
customer. Technical writers first need to understand the technical information themselves
before trying to communicate it in easier language to the customers. Even graduates of
English
literature
are
often
found
wanting
when
it
comes
to
creative
and
effective
writing.
This
simply
means
that
thos
e
with
a
Bachelor’s
degree
in
English
Literature
along
with
a
diploma/degree
in
Journalism
and
having
a
Post
Graduate
Diploma
in
Computer
Applications
(PGDCA) are ideal candidates for being employed as technical writers.
A career in technical writing is seen as a good choice for women mainly because it is
widely held that women are more gifted in creative writing than men and the job does not
involve too much travelling or working at night.
28. What are “technical writers” supposed to do?

A. To write about
the company’s products or services in clear, easy language.

B. To write about the company’s products using correct technical terms.

C. To effectively communicate to an intended audience by writing letters.
D. To travel around to persuade people to buy the
company’s products or services.

29. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “wanting” in Paragraph 3?

A. being needed.









B. wanting to write.
D. lacking in ability.
C. hoping to be employed.

30. What would happen if many technical terms are used in technical writing?
A. It would sound too formal.






B. It would help engineers a lot.
D. It would produce a better effect.
C. It would confuse the customer.

31. Who would be the best candidate for a technical writer?
A. A man with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA.
B. A female with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA.
C. A male graduate of English literature with a diploma in Journalism.

In
the
future
those
who
are
taking
care
of
old
people
may
get
help
from
the
house
itself.
Over
the
last
few
years,
new
technology,
such
as
the
Internet,
Wi-Fi
and
flat
TV
screens,
has changed our homes and the way that we live. Now, another technology revolution is
happening. A new project at the University of Hertfordshire wants to create a home that
monitors people living in it who are elderly.
The researchers have developed a wristband device which helps us to watch the elderly
person who is wearing it. The device collects information to see if the person has fallen
or has wandered away from where he or she should be.
The
assisted-
living
project
is
part
of
the
university’s
wider
Interhome
project,
which
is
the
development
of
a
smart
house.
The
house
remembers
the
habits
of
the
person
who
lives
there and it uses very low amounts of energy. The Interhome team hope that offering this
service will help take care of the elderly. They say, “It’s very important that these
technologi
es are there to help and support and not replace any of the existing
services.”

The
Interhome
is
not
just
a
research
method.
It’s
also
a
way
for
students
from
different
scientific backgrounds to learn and develop technology. The university uses the latest
technology
to
help
students
get
experience
by
developing
new
hardware
and
software
themselves. The team includes design, engineering and computer science students working
together.
“We
are
working
on
a
smart
-home
project
in
Watford
with
some
companies
at
t
he
moment,”
says
the
project
leader.
“We
are
looking
at
how
a
smart
home
can
provide
even
more
services.”
This
could
help
millions
of
old
people
around
the
world
have
a
better
and
safer
life in the future.
32. The wristband device benefits its users by ______.
A. changing the living habits of the elderly.
B. monitoring people who live in a smart home
C. offering information to the person wearing it
