A baby carrier is like a backpack for carrying a baby. Ann Moore introduced the idea of a baby carrier to American people nearly 50 years ago.
Ann spent two years in Africa in the early 1960s. She worked as a nurse there. Ann saw babies wrapped in bright cloth tied to their mothers’ backs. The babies snuggled (依偎) close to their mothers, and the mothers could use their hands to do other things.
In 1964, Ann had her own baby. She tried making a carrier like the one African mothers used. The carrier was like a backpack. Everywhere Ann went with her baby in the carrier, people asked, “Where can I buy one?” In 1965, Ann and her mother began to sell handmade carriers. Ann received a patent (專利) for the baby carrier in 1969. By that time, the baby carrier had leg holes and straps (帶子) that could be made longer or shorter. It could also be worn on the back or front.
By 1979, the baby carriers were made in a factory. These baby carriers cost less to make and more than 25,000 were sold every month.
When Ann made her first baby carrier, she just wanted to keep her baby close and still have her hands free to do other things. Now all over the world babies ride in baby carriers, close to their parents, safe and happy.

The Optimus Prime (擎天柱) model on Zhu Xiaoxuan’s desk looks small–only 30cm high. But it may be the first Transformers (變形金剛) toy made by a 3-D printer (打印機)in China.
Zhu, 14, from Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School, designed it himself. Zhu is a big Transformers fan. In winter vacation, when he saw news that people abroad made many things with 3-D printers, he quickly thought of printing a 3-D model of his favorite Transformer: Optimus Prime.
But where did he start? Zhu went to a local 3-D printing company and found that he first needed to design a digital (數(shù)碼的) 3-D model. However, the software is much for difficult for a teenager to learn.Feeling challenged, Zhu decided to have a try. He found a video online that showed how to use the microsoft. He watched it and learnt hundreds of computer commands (命令).
After three days of hard work, he built the arms. But they turned out to be too long. Zhu had to re-design it. “The model has 96 parts and almost every part needs to be adjusted (調(diào)整). You can imagine how many times I have failed,” Zhu said.
Finally, over 20 days later, Zhu completed the design and had Optimus Prime printed out.

Can you write down a Chinese word being read to you? It can be difficult, e    【小題1】  when the word is not included in most dictionaries.
Lu Jialei, 14, from Hangzhou Foreign Language School, w   【小題2】   the CCTV Chinese Character (漢字) Spelling Contest on Oct 18, 2013.
About 160 people competed. The host read a word to the contestant (參賽選手), explained its meaning and gave sample sentences. The contestant was required to w___【小題3】_____ down the word.
Winning the contest was a “surprise” to Lu Jialei. “I am not the smartest one,” she said. “But I pay a  【小題4】   to details.”
To prepare for the contest, she and her teammates studied the Modern Chinese Dictionary for 10 days. There are more than 56,000 entries (詞條) i   【小題5】     characters, phrases and words in it.
She also has a secret weapon (武器). She studied h__【小題6】____ Chinese characters were structured (構(gòu)成). In the final, judges gave her the word wanluan and said it means graceful and
p   【小題7】  .
“I’ve never h___【小題8】_____ of that word!” said Lu.
But she made a good guess. “Characters meaning pretty often have ‘女’ in it, while many characters pronouncing luan have ‘亦’. So I wrote it down: ‘婉孌’,” she said.
This s   【小題9】 weapon came from her good reading habits.
“L__【小題10】___ to write Chinese characters is an important part of inheriting (傳承) culture,” said Su Yunsheng, Lu’s Chinese teacher.

Does this ever happen to you? Someone introduces you to a friend, you hear his or her name, and then two minutes later, you forget it. Or you go to the same restaurant every day and the owner always says “Hello” to you but you can never remember her name. If this happens, you are typical — actually most people have the problem remembering names.
Here are some ways that can help people remember names.
※ Repeat the person’s name loud at least three times while you talk together. For example, instead of saying “Nice to meet you.” say “Nice to meet you, Jack (for Sue or whatever the person’s name is).” Instead of saying “Where do you live?” you can say “Where do you live, Jack?”
※ Introduce the person by name to someone else right away.
※ Write the name down (with a little information about the person) as soon as possible.
There are other ways which may seem a little strange. However, try them.
※ Think of a story using the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack has a nice jacket.” Imagine Jack in a nice jacket.
※ Think of a rhyme(押韻)for the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack would look nice in black.” Imagine Jack wearing black clothes.
All these ways have one thing in common. You must pay attention to the people you meet. You can’t just meet someone, nod your head, say hello, and walk away. Remembering names takes work and practice.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷下列句子正誤。正確的用“A”表示,不正確的用“B”表示。
【小題1】 Few people have problems remembering others’ names.
【小題2】The word “typical” probably means “common”.
【小題3】 It may seem unusual to help remember a name by making up a story with it.
【小題4】If you want to remember names easily, you must talk politely to the people you meet.
【小題5】 This passage mainly tells us how to get on well with others.
