In the last passage we've already talked about some dangerous plants, but we don’t want to give anyone the wrong idea. The truth is that some plants can hurt you, but most are completely harmless. In fact, there are plenty of plants that are actually very useful to humans.

That is why plants are so popular in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine has been using plants for at least 4, 800 years. One of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine is ginseng（人参）. Doctors of Chinese medicine believe that ginseng can help your lungs（肺）, clean your blood and do many other thing. Ginseng also provides energy for people. In fact, many modern energy drinks that you see in stores have ginseng.

In some parts of U.S., there is a plant called lady fern（蹄盖蕨）. This is the plant you need if you’ve been stung by a bee, or if you’ve got a small burn or a cut. Lady ferns are great for making your skin feel better. All you have to do is roll one of its leaves and make it into pieces in your hands. The juice inside the leaf will help your skin feel better.

If you’re hiking in Europe, look for a flower called tansy（艾菊）. This yellow flower is a natural insects' enemy. You just rub it on your skin, and insects will leave you alone.

Sage（鼠尾草）is one of the most useful plants in the world. Because it has so many uses it's also quite valuable. Human beings have been using sage for a very long time. In Europe before fridges appeared, people used sage to keep food. Over the years, people have used sage to fight all kinds of health problems. Sage has been used to treat colds, stop muscle（肌肉）problems and reduce（减少） swelling. In fact, sage comes from the Latin word “salvere”, which means “to be saved”.

A long time ago, in 1893, in the United States, some people were talking about fruits and vegetables. They asked, “What are fruits and what are vegetables? How are fruits different from vegetables and vegetables different from fruits?” They talked for a long time and then they decided, “We eat vegetables as part of a meal, but we eat fruits before or after a meal.”

In real life, people do not think the dictionaries give the right meaning of a word. For example, the dictionaries say that tomatoes are fruits. But few people know that. Most people think they are vegetables. They call them vegetables and eat them as vegetables. To most people, fruits mean sweet things like apples, pears, oranges and watermelons.

What are vegetables then? We call many plants and grasses vegetables. Some people think some fruits are vegetables, such as apples, pears and bananas. But to most people, vegetables mean things like potatoes, onions and carrots.

There are some very good inventions which, for one reason or another, don't become popular. These inventions should be better known, even though I think that some of them are crazy. Let's have a look at some of these inventions and see if you agree that they should be more successful.

The Australians had a great idea to stop people from drinking and driving. The idea was that if a driver wanted to start the car, she or he would have to blow into a bag first. If there was too much alcohol (酒精) in their breath. The car wouldn't start. It sounds like a great idea to me, but people said that they might need to drive the car in an emergency (紧急情况) even if they had drunk too much alcohol. Another idea I liked was an invention by a scientist who thought his children watched too much TV. He connected the TV to an exercise bike so that the electricity to power the TV was produced by the bike. If the children wanted to watch a lot of TV, they had to pedal (踩踏) very hard.

One of the strangest inventions I have come across is a bicycle which can cross rivers! The idea was that when you came to a river, you could inflate (充气) a huge plastic ball all around the bike. You would then get into the ball which would float on the river while you pedaled the bike inside the ball! Why not use a bridge instead?

One thing I would like is a baseball cap with a built-in radio, so you can listen to sport all day with your hands free. The Americans invented a kind of robot for sports fans. If you were watching your team on TV on your own, you could press a button (按钮) and the robot would do 'high-fives' with you! That's fantastic! I wonder if you have any wonderful ideas for inventions like these.

1.How many inventions are mentioned in the passage?

A.3 B.4 C.5 D.6

2.What should you do if you want to watch TV according to the scientist's invention in the passage?

A.You should press the button. B.You have to pedal the bike hard.

C.You have to inflate a plastic ball. D.You must turn on the power.

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.The writer doesn't like the invention of a bicycle that can cross the river.

B.you can watch matches by wearing a baseball cap with a built-in radio.

C.You can start the car after drinking if you have an emergency.

D.You needn't pedal the bicycle while you are inside the huge plastic ball.

4.What's the meaning of the underlined word "high-fives" in the last paragraph?

A.举手击掌 B.举高手掌 C.挥手欢呼 D.起立欢呼

5.What's the passage mainly talking about?

A.The reason why these inventions don't become popular.

B.These inventions should be more successful.

C.Everyone should have one wonderful idea like these inventions.

D.Some information about unusual inventions.
