When I was in the middle school, I seldom raised my hands to answer questions in class. And I found lots of my classmates were just like me. When the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. "At the beginning of the class, let me tell you a story." He said.
"When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded（折叠）in half, wrote their names in bold（粗体） with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener's name directly."
"I couldn't understand that. My classmates told me the speakers were all top people who meant chances. When your answer was to their surprise, it meant they might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that."

Every Saturday evening, many people come to an open square in a small town in Xi' an. They want to watch Chen Kun and his friends put on a play. During the play, the audience（观众）can hear them, but they can not see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet play（皮影戏）.
Shadow puppets are made of hard leather（皮革）. The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colours and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.
During a shadow puppet play, Chen stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Chen and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets' shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.
Shadow puppet plays are a traditional Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. To encourage more young people to learn the skills of shadow puppet plays, Chen provides training courses for students to teach them how to make shadow puppets.
Chen and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive.

Mostly, inventions happen because someone works to solve a problem. Kids are natural inventors. They often create amazing things from simple ideas. Here are a few examples that might make you wonder, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Popsicles
Popsicles were invented by 11-year-old Frank Epperson in 1905. He forgot a drink of juice and left it with a stir（搅拌）stick in it outside on a cold night. The next day it was ice. Because of this he couldn't drink it any more, but he could eat it. It tasted good! These ice sticks became popular among kids at school in summer because they were delicious and helped them stay cool. More than a hundred years later, popsicles are sill one of the best summer treats!
Crayon Holders
When 11-year-old Cassidy Goldstein needed crayons for a school project, she had a hard time because there were so many small or broken ones. She found some small clear plastic tubes（管子）at home. Although the tiny tubes were usually filled with water to keep flowers fresh, she found that they fit tightly（紧紧地）around the crayons. She was now able to hold them easily. This is how she invented Crayon Holders.
Wristies
When snow gets in kids' gloves and their hands get wet, they feel uncomfortable. 10-year-old Kathryn Gregory decided to do something about it. She created the wristies as she wanted to keep her wrists（手腕）warm and dry. Wristies are long gloves with no fingers and they are worn under your coat. They help you when you work in the cold because your hands stay warm while you use your fingers. With her parents' help, Kathryn also opened a small shop where she sold her wristies. And she still runs it today.
All these inventions have one thing in common-the kids were trying to solve problems in their lives. When you meet problems, what would you do? If the kids can do it, you can do it, too!

A．they could not only drink them but also eat them

28．The underlined word "runs" in the passage means"　 　"in Chinese.
A．经营
B．跑步
C．行驶
D．竞赛
29．Where do you think the passage is from?　 　
A．A novel.
B．A guidebook.
C．A science magazine.
D．A poster.
30．What 's the main idea of this passage?　 　
A．Let us run a shop like Kathryn.
