What do you think are important inventions(发明) in the world? The TV? The printer? The telephone? Or the computer? A report(报道) shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the important inventions is the toilet. Before toilets, waste(废物) ran into rivers from people's houses. Illnesses(疾病) were common(常见的) in big cities, and it was often hard to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, people killed most animals every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay(干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of 45. Without glasses, the world would be hard for the people over 45 years old.
