Lonnie Johnson always took things apart (分开). He sometimestogether. Other times he made new things from different parts. He learned how to use tools from his dad.
When he was young, Lonnie put an old engine (发动机) on a homemade go-cart. He loved.
He dreamed of being an inventor. In high school, Lonnie built a remote-control robot from some waste things. This won hisat the Alabama science fair. His friends called him "The Little Scientist". In college, Lonnie was an excellent student. After that, he became an Air Force officer, a rocket scientist and a business leader, but he never. You may have played with his most famous invention—the Super Soaker, a kind of water gun. Lonnie got the idea for this toy when working on another invention. When he tested a homemade part in his bathroom, it shot water across the room.
Today, Dr Lonnie Johnson has100 useful inventions. However, he still keeps trying new things.
What does a cake look like? Maybe you've got lots of different answers in mind, but Zhou Yi and his team's cakes will certainly make you feel amazed!
Zhou is called China's "Sugar King". Last November in the UK, he and his team won three gold medals and two bronze medals (铜牌) at the International Cake Competition, the world's largest cake competition.
Zhou and his team's cakes show not only their great cake-making skills, but also traditional Chinese culture and art. For example, one of the gold medal-winning cakes shows China's first and only female (女性的) emperor Wu Zetian as a young woman. ①Someone said that the cake showed the beauty of Chinese art to the world.
But don't think creating such amazing works of art is very easy. "Some parts were made eight times just because the result was not quite what I wanted," Zhou said. "You need to build every single part over and over again until you find the perfect fit."②他希望能通过他让人们更多地了解中国。
