• Man's first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions. because there are no wheels in nature-no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel？Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.
  It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick This would roll along just as the logs did. yet be much lighter and easier to handle Thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first carts.

• Many people use wood stoves and fireplaces to heat their homes.Scientists have become worried about the smoke that they give off.Harmful chemicals are in the smoke.The smoke is causing air pollution.The pieces of pollution, called soot, are floating in the air.They are too tiny to see.Scientists must use a microscope to see them.
  Small amounts of soot are safe, but large amounts can be dangerous.The govenment wants to limit this kind of pollution.It may stop people from using their fireplaces.
  The air is tested every day.When soot levels are high, more than 65 micrograms of soot per cubic meter, factories must stop making smoke.The government thinks that limit should be much lower.
  Factories produce the most smoke and soot.But the government thinks that all types of burning should be limited.The soot levels from factories and homes could be limited.Home owners may have to install new wood stoves that they comply with the new law.Or, they may not be able to bum on days when the air quality is bad.
  Residents of some towns are fined if they violate the burning ban.Scientists hope these new regulations will make the air cleaner and less harmful to breathe.
