There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.

For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect(影响) as the wheel. Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.

B. America, Russia, Japan and China began to explore the stars before1969.

C. In the early 1800’s people began to work instead of exploring more unknown land to make life better. D. New invention will change our life greatly in the future.

It aims to reduce energy usage by 20％ and increase renewable energy up to 10％ from 7％ by 2010.To introduce the public to a green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy-saving technology and productions. Environment-friendly machines, such as a vending machine that helps colllect used bottles, have attracted lots of attention.“We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment.
