高中英语 Unit 3 Inventors and inventions [导语]　谈起“发明”，我们脑中浮现的总是飞机、大炮、电脑等这些高科技产品。而下面的几个小发明虽然与高科技毫不沾边，但却同样能为我们的生活带来极大便利。 Ideas for creating a small invention A small invention can do big things when it comes to making a task easier to do.When looking for a small invention idea，start by checking your kitchen drawers and cabinets.Is there something you need to help you in a task? Look in the bathroom and see if you can improve on the way something works.If you can create an item that does a job around the house, you have a small invention of your own. Kitchen Dinner plates have not changed in centuries except for the different materials used to make them.When you need to store leftover dinners，you usually wrap them in aluminum foil and plastic wrap.Dinner plate covers would save money and look much neater than the usual disposable covers. A spaghetti drainer flexible enough to fit inside a pot would be a tool every cook would have in stock.You would be able to take the pasta out of the boiling water and drain it at the same time，saving the cook from picking up a heavy pot of boiling water. Bathroom A bathroom toilet paper dispenser that has an extra roll ready will solve the problem of running out of the necessary tissue paper.This can offer a rescue when your inconsiderate family member has emptied the toilet paper roll.
