Post- it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there, are an example of such an invention.Post-it Notes were invented 20 years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Company. The idea came from a frustrating experience while singing. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it without damaging the pages.Around that time, Fry heard that his workmate, Dr. Spence Silver had created a new adhesive (粘合剂) which was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the top of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.Later, Fry realized that his new invention can also be used as a great bookmark. He came to this idea when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks” and attached it to a report he was going to give to a workmate. Soon, the workmate asked Fry for more samples of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.31 . The invention of Post-it Notes showed that Art Fry.Ahad a lot of knowledgeBwas very hard-workingCwas good at creative thinkingDloved his job in the church32 . In what way did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?AThey worked together and often discussed science.BHis invention of a special adhesive made Arts invention possible.CHe persuaded 3M Company to give away lots of Post-it Notes for trial use.DHe cooperated with Art by providing the new adhesive for Art.33 .

The biggest advantage of Post-it Notes is that .Ait can leave no sign when removedBit is very cheap to useCit is good to write notes onDit is very thin and beautifulHow fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear. An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track(跟踪) your performance on your phone.The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone through a Bluetooth wireless(无线的) connection.The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right(dont forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure youre brushing long enough. Its kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis, says Thomas Serval, the French inventor(发明家).The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications(设备) on your phone, so developers could, for example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. We try to make it smart and fun, Serval says.Serval says he got the idea by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said yes, but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, from $99 to $199, and the U.S. is the first target market.36 . All the following statements are wrong EXCEPT_.AIt can sense how users brush their teeth.BIt can track users school performance.CIt can check users fear of seeing a dentist.DIt can help users find their phones.37 . What can we learn from Servals words in Paragraph 3?AYou will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.BYou should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.CYou can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.DYoud like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.38 . What can we infer(推断)about Servals children?AThey were unwilling to brush their teeth.BThey often failed to clean their toothbrushes.CThey preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.DThey liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.三、信息归纳任务型阅读Tina: Hi, Eric!
