do you wish you could invent something new? here we look at a few british inventions of recent times.adaptive glassesdo you wear glasses? if so，can you imagine life without them? in 1985，joshua silver，a professor at oxford university，asked himself，“can i invent a pair of glasses that could be changed by the wearer？” he designed two plastic lenses(透镜) that are filled with a special liquid.using syringes(注射器) you change the liquid between the lenses until you can see clearly.the glasses are not beautiful but they are easy to use and cheap to make.the windup radiowhen you switch your tv on tonight，think about all those people without electricity.thinking about this，trevor baylis came up with the idea of designing a radio that could be powered by hand.in common with joshua silver he wanted his invention to be cheap and easy to use.he wanted even the poorest people in developing countries，who dont have electricity and cannot afford batteries，to use it.the radio has a generator(发电机) which is powered by turning a handle.in 1996 it won the bbc design award for best product and best design.the dyson vacuum(真空) cleanerin many homes around the world you can see a cleaner that looks like a spaceship.this is the dyson vacuum cleaner which uses something called “cyclonic，separation” to separate the dirt.you do not need a bag for your cleaner and it does not get blocked so it is very practical.the idea came to sir james dyson after he kept having problems with his vacuum cleaner.he decided he could design a better one and in 1993 he opened his own factory.the dyson is now one of the bestselling cleaners in the uk and dyson is believed to have earned over a billion pounds.the zapata flyboardhave you ever dreamed of zooming through the water and leaping in the air like a dolphin? now you can thanks to a flyboard，built by water sports enthusiast frank zapata.with it you can dive back in the water and out again.its possible to jump to incredible heights out of the waterover 30 feet.the basic flyboard model comes in at 4，200.so keep dreaming and inventing.one day you might get it right.11which might be the best title for the passage?agreatest inventions bscientists storiescmagic glasses dbeautiful minds12what can we learn about adaptive glasses?athey are very expensive.bthe inventor is a student.cthe glasses are fragile.dthey dont look very nice.13which invention won an award?aadaptive glasses.bthe windup radio.cthe dyson vacuum cleaner.dthe zapata flyboard.14the dyson vacuum cleaner was invented with the purpose of _ahelping people use cleaners more easilybmaking dyson a rich businessmanckeeping the house cleaner than beforedtaking the place of human cleanersbcommuters(上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to350 a year.ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in nottingham in 2013 and is likely to be adopted across the country.the scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged 350 a year for each space in two years.employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staffmeaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work.the scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport，but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers(金库)some ten million britons drive to work each day，and the british chambers of commerce says the new charge could total 3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide.already some firms in nottingham have threatened to leave the city，where 40，000 commuters use their cars to get to work.a spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs.“it is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces，which get vehicles off the streets，” he said.“and these charges apply around the clock，which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available.this is more about increasing the governments income than reducing traffic.”however，transport minister sadiq khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to nottingham.the council says the tax will raise as much as 100 million over ten yearsone fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city.another transport spokesman theresa villiers said the tax would have a devastating impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline.but richard hebditch of the campaign for better transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport.“we put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport services.we are pleased that the people of nottingham will be the first to benefit.”15supporters argue that the scheme _acan help improve the parking conditions for the staffbshould be applied to all commuters driving to workcis certain to be carried out despite the objectionsdwill relieve traffic pressure and improve public transport16according to the objectors，the scheme is unfair for _athe firms with parking lotsbthe workforce without carscthe employees parking their cars on the streetsdthe staff driving to work in the daytime17which word can best describe theresa villierss attitude towards the scheme?aneutral. bnegative.cunderstanding. dpositive.18it can he inferred from the passage that _amany firms are willing to pay the charges for their staffbthe public transport in nottingham is in great need of improvementcthe author believes britons will benefit from the schemedthose firms with more commuters will leave nottingham.完成句子19the bank is reported in the local newspaper _ 100，000，000 yuan in broad daylight yesterday.
