2026年新课程课堂同步练习册八年级英语上册外研版第40页答案
B
Inventors have shaped our world through their great ideas and strong will. Their stories show us how ordinary people can achieve amazing things by developing certain important qualities.
One of the most famous inventors is Johannes Gutenberg. He spent years developing the printing press in the 15th century. When facing challenges, he said, “Every problem is a hidden opportunity.” He proved that “innovation can spread knowledge”. This shows how creative thinking can greatly change society.
Another inventor is George Washington Carver, who was born into slavery(奴隶) but became a great scientist. He discovered over 300 uses for peanuts to help farmers. His story teaches us that “hard work and education” can overcome any difficulty.
Modern inventors continue this tradition. For example, teenage inventor Ann Makosinski created a flashlight powered by body heat to help students without electricity. Her “creativity and caring” show how young people can solve real problems.
All great inventors share common qualities:
They observe(观察) problems carefully.
They imagine creative solutions.
They keep trying despite difficulties.
They want to help others.
You don’t need to be a genius(天才) to invent. Like these inventors, if you stay curious, work hard, and never quit, you might create something amazing too!
