阅读理解 There have been many great inventions that have 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 as the wheel did. In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made, among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These are all a big part of our lives today. In the first half of the 20th century, we saw more great inventions. For example, the helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon was made in 1935. It changed the kinds of clothes people wore. By this time, most people had a very good life. People had a desire to explore the world again. People knew a lot about the earth, but they didn't know much about theuniverse. They began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took the second step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan have done so too. In 1969, man took his biggest step from the earth. Two Americans walked on the moon. This is certainly just the beginning, too. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

Long ago a kind farmer with the name of Fred lived in a small old house happily together with his gentle wife, Doris, who couldn't see anything at the age of five.

One cold winter night, the Luck Fairy (仙女) visited them while they were eating some bread in the dim（昏暗的）light. “Fred, you're so kind. I'd like to give you a wish. It's my pleasure to satisfy you,” said the Luck Fairy. “A wish?” Fred and Doris asked, standing hand in hand and smiling at each other. Then Fred answered, “Thanks, Luck Fairy. We're living a happy life.” “We are no longer young, but we still work in the field from morning to night every day. We enjoy ourselves,” said Doris. “You work very hard but you make so little money. Would you like some gold coins to buy a comfortable house?” asked the Luck Fairy. “Oh no, my dear Luck Fairy. We love our small old house. We have lived here for a long time,” answered Fred, without a moment's hesitation (犹豫). “We are happy to work and live together all the time. That's enough,” Doris agreed. The couple were quite different from other people the Luck Fairy had ever met. She appreciated(欣赏) them very much. She disappeared, saying, “I wish you a happy life forever.” Many years later, the couple lived happily as usual It seemed to others that they were the happiest in the world.
