Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work．Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home．And every night，I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep．Can we imagine life without paper or printing？
Paper was first created about 2，000 years ago，and has been made from silk，cotton，bamboo，and since the 19th century，from wood．People learned to write words on paper to make a book．But in those days，books could only be produced one at a time by hand．As a result，they were expensive and rare．And because there weren't many books，few people learned to read．
Then printing was invented in China．When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century，books could be produced more quickly and cheaply．After that，knowledge and ideas spread quickly．
Today information can be received online，downloaded from the Internet rather than only found in books．And information can be kept on CD﹣ROMs or machines such as iPads．
Computers are already used in classrooms，and newspapers and magazines can already be read online．So will books be replaced by computers one day？No，I don't think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will be replaced by a two﹣metre﹣high computer!

（1）When was paper first created？
（2）Before the invention of printing，were books produced by hand or by machine？
（3）What happened after books became cheaper？

Do you always find it is raining when you walk out？Or are you always buying umbrellas and leaving them home when it rains？There is a new umbrella that could solve both problems．
The umbrella will not only tell you the weather，but also let you know you've left it behind．
How does it work？The umbrella will send a message to your smartphone．And it says"Hey，it's going to rain in 15 minutes where you are，so you'd better take your umbrella．"Besides，if you are forgetful，
you may never leave an umbrella on a bus or somewhere else again．The umbrella will send a warning to your smartphone if you leave it behind．

The truth is that nobody knows who invented eyeglasses．What we do know is that the earliest lenses （镜片）made from quartz （石英）．As soon as people worked out how to make glass without bubbles they started miking lenses out of glass．
Glasses spread quickly all over Europe and Asia．But early glasses were squeezed （夹） onto the bridge of the nose．It was painful for the wearers．So there was still one big problem：
How to keep them on the wearer's face．It took nearly 400years for people to come up with the way wear glasses today
We should be thankful lo Benjamin Franklin，who invented bifocals（双焦点眼镜） in the1780s．He liked lo read or watch sceneries（景色） far away while traveling．But he hated to change glasses all the time．Then Franklin cut his glasses in half and put them together with his distance glasses．Now they are still popular．
