Fireworks explode to fill the dark, night sky with bright reds and blues, with yellows and greens and whites. The expression also means a great show of noisy anger. For example, Two lawyers quarreled fiercely in a court. The judge finally stops the loud argument and calls the two lawyers forward. He tells them, “I want no more of these fireworks in my courtroom.” Another kind of fireworks can be any event or activity that is especially exciting. One such event is falling in love. If anything can produce fireworks, it is a sweetheart?s kiss or the touch of a lover?s hand. Often movie or television cartoons show fireworks to represent the excitement of a kiss.

The best time of the year to see real fireworks in America is about now. The Fourth of July is Independence Day in the United States. Americans traditionally celebrate their nation?s freedom with giant public parties and fireworks at night. In Washington, for example, large crowds gather

If you pay a visit to this restaurant, in downtown Harbin in Heilongjiang Province, you will find 18 robots --- from a waitress to a cooker to an usher(引座员) --- ready to ensure your dining experience is perfect.

When a diner walks in, the usher robot extends their arm to the side and, with a sci-fi flourish, says, “Earth Person, Hello, Welcome to the Robot Restaurant.” After the diners have ordered, the robots in the kitchen set to work cooking. Once the dish is prepared, a robot waiter, which runs along tracks on the floor, carries it from kitchen to table. Prepared dishes are placed on a suspended conveyor belt and when the plate reaches the right table the mechanical arms lift it off and set it down. As they eat, a singing robot entertains diners.

Chief Engineer Liu Hasheng said they invested 5 million Yuan in doing the restaurant, with each robot costing 200,000 to 300,000 Yuan. He comments, \the whole robot team.\electricity. Liu added that after a two-hour charge the robot can work continuously for 5 hours. The restaurant now provides a menu with more than 30 dishes, and for the average cost for a diner is 40 to 50 Yuan.

Several years ago，Masaru Ibuka，chairman of Sony，was at a company planning a meeting. Suddenly he had a brilliant idea. He stopped the meeting and asked everyone present what would happen if Sony removed the recording function and speaker and sold headphones with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was crazy. Still, Ibuka kept thinking about his idea and worked at improving it. The result, of course, turned out to be the wildly successful Sony Walkman.

Good ideas often start with a seemingly silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making waffles (华夫饼干）for his son, he wondered what would happen if he poured rubber into his waffle iron. Later ，he tried it and the result looked something like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took this idea to several existing shoe companies, he was laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather discouraged, Bowerman insisted and went on to form his own company, making NIKE athletic shoes.

Sometime good ideas grow out of frustration (受挫）.When Fred Smith was a student at Yale University, he had some paperwork that he needed to have delivered across the country the next day. Smith was amazed to find out that overnight delivery was impossible. He sat for a long while, lost in thought. Why couldn?t there be a reliable overnight mail delivery service? He decided to design one. Smith did just that and turned his design into a class project. His business professor gave him only a C for his efforts. However, Smith was not through. He improved the idea in that class project and finally turned them into one of the first and most successful overnight mail service in the world — FedEx.

We know that each of these ideas led to a very successful product or service that has changed the way many of us live. The best questions are usually open-ended and are often silly, Children
