How old do you have to be to invent something：ten，twenty，or thirty years old？How about older？Don’t tell K．K．Gregory that．When she was ten(1994)，she made her invention，called Wristies．

While playing out in the snow，her arms were starting to hurt because they were cold．She made a warm fingerless(不分手指的)cover that kept her hands and arms warm．She could wear them under her coat．She shared her idea with a few other people，and they liked it．
She applied for a patent(申请专利)on her idea．Perhaps Kathryn’s biggest problem was that adults didn’t take her seriously．They thought that the idea must have been her mother’s．
Some people gave Kathryn some good advice．They told her to weal her Wristies so people would see them and ask what they were．By telling people the name of her invention，she was building a brand．Starting business at the age of ten may be not easy for a ten-year-old girl．I hope she can ceed．Good luck，K．K．Gregory！

Today，roller skating(滑旱冰)is easy and fun．But，before 1750，the idea of skating didn’t exist(存在)．That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin．Merlin’s work was making musical instruments．

One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a music party．He was very pleased and a little excited．As the day of the party came near，Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance(隆重登场)at the party．He had an idea．He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room．
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll．Finally，he decided to put two wheels under each shoe．These were the first roller skates in the world．Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin．
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin．Everyone was surprised to see him．There was just one problem．Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates．He rolled on and on，suddenly，he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall．Down fell the mirror，breaking into pieces．Nobody forgot Merlin’s entrance！

Which is the best title of the passage？

C
Imagine the situation．You are driving alone in a desert or on a mountain．You have no idea where you are．You passed the last house two hours ago．Then your car breaks down．It is night and it is cold．You have no mobile phone．What do you do？Well，next time take a GPS with you．This invention may be able to help you．It is a device(装置)which uses satellites to find the user’s position(位置)．It can find your position within 20 metres．A GPS cannot start your car，but at least you will know where you are．

GPS，which means Global Positioning System，is a small radio receiver．It looks like a mobile phone．You can hold it in your hand，or put it in your pocket．It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone．We also find GPS devices in cars，planes，or boats．Some of these devices have electronic maps，so you know where you are．For example，in a city they can tell you the name of the street．
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System．The first part is the receiver．You can hold it in your hand，or have it fixed into your car，plane，etc．The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth．The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算)its position．The third part of the system is a network of ground stations．They are all over the world．They control the satellites and make sure they are working well．
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile．They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的)．There are also new uses for the GPS．Perhaps they will become like watches．Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again．
According to the passage，with the help of the GPS，people________．

We can learn from the passage tha________．

The underlined word“They”in paragraph 3 means“________”．

The passage is mainly about________．

What can we infer(推断)from the passage？
