In your schoolbags, most of you have a pencil, some kinds of pens, a ruler and some books. None of these things grow in the fields. They are all made in factories and invented by someone. There have not always been pencils and pens, rulers and books. Thousands of years ago, no one knew these things.

  Who invented them? We don't always know. There have been thousands of inventions, large and small, in the human history. Some of these inventions have changed the world, such as paper, printing and radio, and we know the inventors. But we have forgotten most of the other inventors. Who invented the clock, for example, or the lock to the door? We don't know. There have been thousands of inventors and we should thank them for their clever ideas. Will you be one of them when you grow up?

True or false

(1) Pens and pencils are small inventions invented in factories.

(2) People usually know the inventors of large inventions.

(3) We don't remember most inventors.

(4) We don't know who invented paper because it is not a large invention.

(5) Every invention, large and small, come from its inventor's good ideas.
