10、s, the Thomas Edison and the Alexander Graham Bells, but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (刮雨器)? Shouldnt we know who they are?Joan Mclean thinks so.In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Ra
11、nge, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic.In addition to learning “who” invented “what”， however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions.According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, th
12、ey are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree.One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLeans statement.“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention，” said Tommy L
13、ee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with th
14、e idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City.The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a street car.Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a builti
15、n device for cleaning the window.Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions.One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit f

21、ourses in Universities?BScratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts. The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu (流感), and one
22、of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart.Thats because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in.As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking overthecounter remedy, the sooner relief will come. The common cold and the flu are both
23、caused by viruses.More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three virusesflu A, B and CThere is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the
24、flu does strike, quick action can help.Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for. Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever.On the other hand, fe
25、ver is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages.And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms. The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age ch
26、ildren have the flu.It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flulike symptoms.Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with overthecounter medications as well.However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye s
27、yndrome (综合症), a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold.But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.31According to the author, knowing the cau
28、se of the misery will help _.Ashorten the duration of the illnessBthe patient buy medicine over the counterCthe patient obtain cheaper prescription drugsDprevent people from catching colds and the flu32We learn from the passage that _.Aone doesnt need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the flu
29、Baspirin should not be included in overthecounter medicines for the fluCdelayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous systemDoverthecounter drugs can be taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the flu33According to the passage, to combat the flu effectively, _.Aone should
