What do you think is the most important invention in the world? The TV? The printer? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest inventions is the toilet. Before toilets, people poured or dumped waste into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay(干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of 45. Without glasses, the word would be difficult for the people above 45.

試題分析：本文講述了三種重要而簡單的發明，并說明了它們的重要性。
小題1:根據Here are three other important inventions.可知，本文主要講述了發明。所以本空填Inventions。
小題2:根據開頭What do you think is the most important invention in the world?以及本欄下方的物品可知，本空主要是講的重要發明，所以本題填important。
小題3:通過閱讀可知，本欄中的三項發明是除前面提到的幾種發明以外的，Here are three other important inventions.，故應該填other，表示“三種其他簡單的發明。”
小題4:根據The TV? The printer? The telephone? Or the computer?可知，本空應填telephone。
小題5:根據 Before toilets, people poured or dumped waste into rivers 可知，人們將廢水倒進河里，也就是廢水進入河中，故應填 ran/went/came。
小題6:根據 it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.可知，很難找，也就是不容易，所以本題填easy。
小題7:根據 most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter.可知，本空應該填killed。
小題8:根據表格可知，本題就是第三項發明，通過文章可知，應是glasses“眼鏡”。所以本題填Glasses。
小題9:根據Glasses help people read, write 可知，本題應是write，由于read用reading，故write也應該用writing。
小題10:根據Without glasses, the word would be difficult for the people above 45.可知，沒有眼鏡，對于45歲以上的人這些字是很難看清的。所謂above，也就是more than“超過”的意思。所以本題填more。
