    Man has made many interesting inventions since the beginning of time. Some of these inventions like numbers, words and radios have certainly changed history.

    One of the most important inventions is the computer. It has changed all our lives.

    People built the first computer at Harvard University in 1944. It was as large as a room and quite difficult and slow to operate. But since the invention of the silicon chip （硅片）, computers have become smaller, easier to use, and faster to operate. Some computers are as small as TV sets. People can make computers smaller than books. And computers are getting smaller and smaller all the time.

    The computer can do a lot of work. It is very useful to us. Firstly, it can keep a lot of news and messages. Secondly, the computer can operate very fast -- thousands of times faster than a man, and it won’t be tired. Thirdly, people can build computers into other kinds of machines, like radios, cars and planes.

    Now, almost everyone uses some kinds of computers. This invention has brought great changes to all of our lives.

　　Why is more and more land becoming deserts?
　　Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to
bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food there. They are
learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth are becoming
deserts all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts in time.
　　Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the
earth. (1)Some places on the earth do not get very much rain. But they still do
not become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small
green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants do not let the hot
sun make the earth even drier. Plants do not let the wind blow the soil away.
(2)When a little bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the
land can become a desert much more easily.
