Great inventions from ancient China Ancient China was a land of great inventors.Many things we use today were first created here，long before they appeared in other parts of the world.
About 4，700 years ago，the Chinese learned how to make silk.For a long time，they were the only ones who knew the secret.This valuable cloth attracted people from far away，leading to the famous Silk Road.This network of trade routes connected China to places like Europe and the Middle East.It brought wealth to China，but also risks.Finally，the secret was stolen when someone took silkworm eggs to Europe.
The secret of paper-making was also discovered in China.Around 2，000 years ago，an official named Cai Lun invented it by mixing certain plants with water，then pressing and drying them.By 593，the Chinese had invented the first printing press，and the first printed newspaper appeared in around 700.
Another famous Chinese invention is the kite.It is said that around 400 BCE，two men，Mo Di and Lu Ban，made kites shaped like birds.They were popular toys，but people soon found other uses for them.Kites could help fish from the shore，deliver messages，or carry small items.
Perhaps the most famous Chinese invention is gunpowder.Actually，it was discovered by accident by people trying to find a way to live forever.In the late Tang dynasty，gunpowder was used in wars.It reached Arabian countries in the 1200s and then known by the Europeans.

27.It was Tuesday night. On the balcony of my tenth-floor apartment, I looked at the sky with eager eyes, hoping to see a shooting star. "Shooting stars are lucky." Grandma always says.
"Will I see a shooting star tonight, Grandma？"
"There are too many lights tonight, Judy," Grandma said, "and I hear dreams calling." She kissed my hair and put me to bed.
When I woke up the next morning, I smelled buttermilk biscuits.My favourite! "Your shooting stars came for breakfast!" Grandma winked. In her hands was a plate of star-shaped biscuits, each with a lovely little tail My eyes went wide, and then they filled with something shining.
Then it was time for school. Before the third floor, the elevator stopped with a loud noise and went dark. My heart pounded so hard that I felt the beating in my ears. Grandma rang the bell for help. Then, in the darkness, she found my cold hand. She began to hum（哼曲子）, and soon, my shaky voice joined hers. Grandma's little song seemed to havemagic power.
Before long, our neighbours helped us out. But I didn't want to go to school any more.
"A stuck elevator doesn't get to decide your day. Let's go." Grandma took my hand and walked out to school, humming our favourite song…
When I got home, Grandma was cooking in the kitchen. I told her about school.
"Sarah found a four-leaf clover. Ben got the last cookie from the cafeteria.. Will I see a shooting star tonight？"
"The night isn't over yet. Go to the balcony and wait." Grandma smiled.
After dinner, I couldn't find Grandma anywhere. I went to the balcony alone, still hoping to see a shooting star.
Suddenly, the dark sky was lit up. I nearly shouted out. A shooting star？!But then—boom!—a fountain of gold sparks exploded right above me, dancing and falling slowly. Fireworks! Before I could catch my breath, another followed, a shining blue, then a red, painting the quiet night with bright colours. My heart jumped with joy and wonder. When I turned around, I saw Grandma standing in the doorway, with an empty firework box in her left hand. "Do you like the shooting stars tonight？" She smiled.
At that very moment, I realized：I may not be "lucky" in a traditional way, but I know I AM truly lucky.
