21、you need lots of luck, what else might you do?  In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some arehundreds of years old and some are much newer.  Have you heard the saying "When you wish upon a star"? If you are looking up a

22、t the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn't happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.      Maybe you have

Band-aids Do you use band-aids when you cut your finger? The first band-aid was made by American Earle Dickson in 1921. The idea came to him by chance. Dickson

29、s wife Josephine often cut her fingers in the kitchen. At that time gauze (紗布) and adhesive tape (膠帶) didnt come together. People had to cut them to the right size. Dickson found these bandages (繃帶) were always too big and soon fell off. So he put a piece of gauze on the center of a piece of tape. T

30、his is how he made the first band-aid. Later, people all around the world began to use Dicksons new bandage.Drinking straw In 1888, American Marvin Stone invented the first paper drinking straw. Before that, people used grass straws. Stone made his straw by winding (纏繞) paper around a pencil and sti

31、cking it together. He used paraffin-coated (涂蠟的) paper, so the straws would not become wet. He then decided the ideal straw was 21.5 centimeters long. It should also be thin enough to stop things people suck up, like lemon seeds. Other kinds of paper and plastic straws came later.Bubble gum Bubble g

E Have you ever wanted to try on clothes without going to the trouble of getting undressed? If you have, heres the device for you: the virtual fitting room. The techno

37、logy, designed by Russian company AR Door, was first tried out in May. When a customer walks into a “fitting” room, theyll stand in front of a big screen that looks like a mirror.
