Introduction
The reading begins with a number of questions to motivate the students. The contrast created between the great inventions and the seemingly small ones well serves as a prelude to its main idea: everyone can be inventive as long as he keeps his mind active. By giving practical examples in the list of possible causes to inventions, the reading not only activates the students’ background knowledge but also proposes many possibilities for future inventions.
