29、爬行动物都很小，这使得问题比较容易解决。返回目录 经过一番研究准备之后，我决定采用三种可能的方法：第一，铲除它们的蛇窝；第二，用男士或女士香水或食物把它们引入陷阱；第三，降低它们的体温，使它们困乏，这样就很容易把它们捉住。我决定采用最后一种方法。我买了一个制冰淇淋的不锈钢碗，在碗的内壁和外壁之间有些胶状物，冷却后会冻结。我把这个碗放进冰箱里冷冻了24个小时。与此同时，我还准备了一些冰块。返回目录 第二天早晨在太阳光还不太热的时候我就早早起床了。我把冷冻过的碗放在蛇窝的上方，再把冰块放在碗上，以使碗保持冷却状态，最后再用一个大桶把所有的东西罩住。然后我就等着。两个小时以后我把桶和碗一起拿开。蛇不
30、像以前那样活跃了，但是对于我来说，它们的行动还是太快了。它们突然一下子就消失在附近的墙洞里了。于是我不得不调整我的计划。返回目录 第二次尝试我用的还是冷冻过的碗和冰块，但是这次我是在夜晚气温开始降低的时候就把它们放在蛇窝的上方，然后像以前一样用桶把碗罩住，放在那里一晚上。第二天一早我就去看结果。这一次我小心翼翼地蹲下去检查，发现蛇都是睡意浓浓的，但是一把它们提起来，它们就试图咬我。因为它们都是毒蛇，所以很显然我还得改进我的捕蛇方案。返回目录 第三次尝试我重复了第二次的程序。第二天早晨我手上拿了一个捕鱼的小网，这是因为我预料蛇还会再咬人。但是经过仔细监视，(事实)证明这些蛇是制造不了麻烦的，一切
31、都按计划进行着。我把这些无力抵抗的蛇捉住，第二天就愉快地把它们全都放回野外了。返回目录 在亲戚朋友的敦促下，我决定抓住这次机会把我的发明送到专利局去，请他们对我这次成功的想法给予认可。只有在得到这种认可之后，你才可以说自己是一个真正的发明家。(评定)专利标准是很严格的，除非新的想法真是新颖的，否则很难被接受。此外，如果你的发明属于下列情况，那么你也不能得到专利：返回目录 一种发现一种科学理论或数学模型文学或艺术一个游戏或一笔交易一个电脑程序一种新的动植物物种返回目录 直到仔细调查发现你的产品确实是与众不同的，你才能获得专利。专利局还有一大批审查人员，他们的唯一工作就是审查你的专利申请是否有效。
32、如果通过了所有这些审查，你申请的专利就会在你提出申请的18个月之后公布出来。于是，我填了表，向专利局提交了申请书。现在就是等待和期盼了。将来你看看我的银行存款的金额就会知道我是否成功了。祝我好运吧！返回目录(1)distinguish oneself(as)(作为)表现突出；使自己与众不同；使自己成名distinguish betweenand 区分和课堂深度拓展词汇点击distinguish vi.&vt.显示的差别；使有所不同；辨别distinguished adj.卓越的；著名的；高贵的1 返回目录 distinguishfrom 使有别于；区分和distinguish oneself
