Let’s look at two old but popular inventions we use in our daily life.
Band-Aids（创可贴）
The first Band-Aid was made by American Earle Dickson in 1921. The idea came to him by chance. Dickson’s wife Josephine often cut her fingers in the kitchen. At that time gauze（纱布） and adhesive tape（胶带）didn’t come together. People had to cut them to the right size. Dickson found they were always too big and soon fell off. So he put a piece of gauze on the center of a piece of tape. This is how he made the first Band-Aid.
Later Dickson’s new inventions became very popular all around the world.
Bubblegum（泡泡糖）
Bubblegum was invented by accident. In 1928, American gum company worker Walter E. Diemer played around with new chewing gum recipes. Chewing gum had already been invented more than half a century before then. But Diemer found that the gum he made was easy to blow. He blew a bubble and then saw the possibilities. He took some of his new gum to a shop and it sold out in a single afternoon. Since then, Dubble Bubble—the first brand of bubblegum—has made kids happy all around the world.

In your school，are you allowed to choose the subjects you want to learn？ Of course，the answer is "No" in China.
In America there is a school trying something new. At a high school in Florida，students will be able to choose their own classes. We all know that some students are better at some subjects than others. Some students plan to go on to college，while others don't. At this school students are able to find subjects they are interested in，and possibly even find the field（领域）they would like to go into after school. They are allowed to choose a subject like biology，math，a foreign language，or study skills like computer or car repair（修理）.
Some people think this is a good idea，because it helps students think about what they want to do in the future，and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there. They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes makes high school more interesting. Others disagree. They think that fourteen-year-old teenagers are too young to know what they want to do in the future.
