A
Let’s look at two old but popular inventions we use in our daily life.
Band-Aids(创可贴)
The first Band-Aid was made by an American named Earle Dickson in 1921.The idea came to him by chance.Dickson’s wife Josephine often cut her fingers in the kitchen.At that time gauze(纱布) and adhesive tape (胶带)didn’t come together.People had to cut them to the right size.Dickson found they were always too big and soon fell off.So he put a piece of gauze on the centre of a piece of tape.This is how he made the first Band-Aid.
Later,Dickson’s new invention became very popular all around the world.
Bubble gum(泡泡糖)
Bubble gum was invented by accident.In 1928,American gum company worker Walter E.Diemer played around with new chewing gum recipes.Chewing gum had already been invented more than half a century before then.But Diemer found that the gum he made was easy to blow.He blew a bubble and then saw the possibilities.He took some of his new gum to a shop and it sold out in a single afternoon.Since then,Dubble Bubble—the first brand of bubble gum—has made kids happy all around the world.

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 on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep.Can we imagine life without paper or print?
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.As a result,more people learned to read.After that,knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today information can be received online,and downloaded from the Internet,besides being found in books,and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.
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 ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!

Sometimes the greatest things are invented by mistake.The greatest mistake of all time could be those delicious snacks in your corner drugstore.
One day,a woman was making chocolate cookies.When she ran out of chocolate powder(粉),she took out a chocolate bar and broke it into little pieces.She added the pieces to her cookie dough(面团)and baked(烘烤)it.She thought that the chocolate would(1)melt in the oven and make chocolate cookies.Far from melting,the pieces of chocolate stayed hard.When she took them out of the oven,she had chocolate chip cookies!
Another accidental invention was made by Frank Epperson,an eleven-year-old boy.In 1905,Frank sat outside on a winter evening,mixing up a big jug(罐)of powdered soda pop.Frank accidentally left the jug out during the night.When he went outside the next morning,he found the mixture in the jug frozen(冻僵)with the mixing stick stuck in the middle.Frank pulled out the frozen pop and tasted it.It was delicious!Frank started selling Epperson Icicles for 5 cents each.He later changed the name to(2) Popsicles.
So,the next time you drop your hamburger into your ice-cream or your cooked potatoes into your chicken soup,don’t worry!Some of the most delicious foods in the world were invented that way!
