Its just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, the

20、y dont let them slip away. For example, the inventor of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in

21、1886, she set out to make one for herself. Like Cochranes, most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem. You can start by looking at what is wrong with things you use now. You can ask grandparents or neighbours if they remember ever say

22、ing: “I wish someone would invent something for.” Or you can look at people in different areas such as on the street, or at school.

26、d good uses too! After all, most inventions are not brand new. They do not come out of nowhere, but come out of things or ideas that already exist (存在). And the hardest part of inventing, even for a lot of inventors, is coming up with a problem and finding a solution. Once you have an idea, you can

27、always get help building your invention. This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world? 28. The main idea of this story is _.A. how to improve the world around you B.
