24、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 American 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 center of a piece of tape. This is how he made the first Band-Aid.

Later Dickson’s new inventions became very popular all around the world.

Bubblegum（泡泡糖）

Bubblegum 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 bubblegum—has made kids happy all around the world.

25、It was a summer day, a little leaf was crying sadly. “What’s wrong, little leaf?” the tree asked.

“It’s the wind,” said the little leaf, “he just told me that he would throw me on the ground to die one day.” “Don’t be afraid, baby.” the tree said, “just hold on me, and you won’t leave me until you are ready.” So the little leaf stopped crying, and went on singing and dancing. She grew happily all the summer.

When autumn came, the little leaf saw all the leaves around her growing very beautiful. Some were yellow, some were brown, and others turned into different colors.

Then the little leaf asked the tree what this meant. The tree said, “All these leaves are getting ready to fly away, and they have put on these colorful clothes to welcome their new lives.”

After hearing the words, the little leaf began to prepare to leave like others.

However, she saw that the tree had no bright colors. So the little leaf asked , “Oh, big tree! Why are you grey while we are all beautiful?”

“It’s the color of our working clothes,” said the tree kindly, “We must wear the clothes because we haven’t finished our work; but your clothes are for holidays because your task is now over”.

27、 What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself  ? Please read the following passage.

Escaping from a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life.

It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such asstairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.

From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average ( 平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger - tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is

about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.

Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗) into the room.

On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall.
