Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago， there were only a few thousand people in the world. These people moved from place to place. They moved over the land， hunting（打猎）animals for food.
A long time passed. These people began growing crops. No one knows how or when those people learned about growing food. But when they did， their lives changed， they did not have to move houses any more.
They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near each other. And so the first villages grew. Many people came to work in the villages. These villages grew bigger and bigger. Then people had machines， and lives in the villages changed again. They built factories. So the villages grew into cities. Some of them grew very big.
Today， some people are moving back to small towns.

What do you think of the most important inventions in the world? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest inventions is the toilet. Before toilets， waste ran into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities， and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention， most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay became a kind of common animal food， animals could live through the long winter.
The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read， write and do “close work” after the age of forty-five. Without glasses， the world would be difficult for the people above forty-five.

Last summer， my family and I went on a trip to the China Dinosaur Park in Changzhou by bus. The one-hour trip seemed very long. We arrived at the park at about 9 a.m.
There were many fun places for us to choose from. We first went to the Crazy Firedrake（喷火龙）Drill. When I looked at the giant yellow machine， I wasn't afraid at all， But when I was really on it， I felt a little nervous. First， the machine took us to the highest point. We all screamed（尖叫） "Ah". 1 dared（敢）not look down. Then it turned around fast and moved very quickly at the same time. The wind was so strong that I couldn't open my eyes. I felt as if I would fall down. 1 couldn't stop screaming through the whole ride. It only moved for a few minutes， but it seemed to be many hours. When the game ended， I was too frightened to walk.
Later we took part in the game called “Crossing Jurassic（侏罗纪）”. After waiting for half an hour， we got into a boat. The boat went into a tall building. It was dark around us. There were many model dinosaurs on both sides. They looked like the real ones. From time to time. the model dinosaurs made some frightening shouts， which sounded terrible. The game ended with a sudden rush from a very high place into a big pool. What an exciting experience!

Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their everyday life. For example， they can help people save much time， and they can help people work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers except the old people.
Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children.
