Thebackdooroftheambulance（救护车）-优题课

The back door of the ambulance（救护车）was suddenly shut and the driver ran to the front, jumped into his seat, and started the engine. Inside were the         parents, Mr. and Mrs. Green, the mother holding their baby daughter Ally. The little girl had      food stuck in her throat and could hardly breathe.
The driver, Mr. White,      his siren（报警器）and flashing light, and started speeding towards the nearest hospital, fighting against    . The cars ahead of him pulled out of the way as he drove through the      . From the back of the      the parents were shouting at him to      , since Ally had almost stopped breathing. In front of him he saw some traffic lights, with the red “STOP” light shining. Mr. White knew that he had      time to lose, so he drove straight past the traffic lights, looking to his left and right as he did so.
Coming towards him from his right was a taxi. The driver had the windows    , since the car was air-conditioned, and he was playing his radio. He did not notice the ambulance. The lights were green, so he drove straight on into the path of the ambulance.
Mr. White tried to stop his ambulance but it was too late. It hit the taxi. Everybody was shaken but        was hurt. Mr. White turned around to see      little Ally was. He was surprised to see relief instead of      on the faces of the parents.
“Look!” cried Mrs. Green. “She is      again.”
“It      have been the crash（碰撞）.” said her husband. “It made the food out of her throat.” The baby’s color was turning to      , and she was crying loudly but healthily. They were all joyful, and quite forgot about the accident, the taxi, and the lines of cars all around them.

What do you need for an invention to be a success?

To begin with, good timing is very ____45____ . You can have a good idea which the public doesn't want yet. Take Giovanni Caselli as an example. He invented the first fax machine in the 1860s. Though the quality was excellent, his invention quickly ____46____ . The fax machine did not become a necessary piece of equipment in every office until the 1980s.

Money also helps. The Frenchman Denis Papin had the idea for a steam engine almost a hundred years before James Watt was born. Denis never had enough money to ____47____ one.

You also need to be patient. It took scientists nearly eighty years to invent a light bulb. ____48____ , you shouldn't be too slow. In the 1870s, Elisha Gray developed plans for a telephone. Gray saw it only as "a beautiful toy". When he finally sent details of his invention to the Patent Office ( 专利局 ) on February 14th, 1876, it was too ____49____ . Almost the same designs had arrived just two hours earlier. The young man who sent them was Alexander Graham Bell. He is remembered as the inventor of the telephone.

Of course what you really need is a wonderful idea. If you haven't got one, a walk in the countryside and a careful look at ____50____ can help. The Swiss scientist, George de Mestral, had the idea for Velcro ( 粘扣 ) when he found his clothes covered in sticky seed pods after a walk in the countryside.
