Have you heard of Galileo and his telescope(望远镜)? Galileo Galilei, the famous Italian    181    (science) who discovered Jupiter’s four moons, did not invent the telescope that he used to see those moons. In fact, he just made the telescope better.

Hans Lippershey,    182    man from the Netherlands who made the eyeglass, invented the telescope in 1608. He wanted to see things far away on land,    183    he put the latest technology and    184    (he) imagination together and came up with the telescope.

Galileo’s telescope was three times more powerful than Lippershey’s, and Galileo had the idea to point it into the night sky. And    187    1610, he found that Jupiter(木星) has moons and that the Earth isn’t the centre of the universe(宇宙) or even the solar system(太阳系).

Galileo is often thought to have invented the telescope because he made so many    188    (importance) discoveries with it. Galileo invented many other    189    (thing), but the credit(赞扬) for      190      (invent) the telescope should go to Hans Lippershey.

This car will use electricity instead of gasoline. It will have     193     (battery) that can be recharged (充电) very quickly from chargers built into the road. It will also be easy to drive.

In fact, you won’t need to drive the car because it will drive     194     (it). You will just need to tell the computer: “Go to X” and the car will go there. Also, it will reach your destination (目的地) very quickly, much     195     (fast) than today’s cars. It will also be very safe and comfortable.

However, you     198     (probable) won’t ever drive a “snail car”, even if you’re under 20 today. This, perhaps, is the car of the year 2100, the car that your grandchildren will maybe drive.
