Do you think doing housework is a hard task for you? Have you ever thought of inventing something to make it 1? A boy named Sam Houghton did and he 2 a two-head broom (扫帚).
Sam was just three years old when he came up with his 3. He saw his father sweep up (打扫) garden leaves and 4 brooms while trying to gather large leaves and litter.
Now he is the poster boy for a new show at the British Library in London called "Inventing the 21st Century." To celebrate 5 and encourage new inventors, the famous 6 is telling the story of the most special inventions coming out of Britain in the past 10 years. Sam's broom is produced by big companies, and the brooms are very7 in England.
Young Sam Houghton is now eight years old and has another invention. He has made a balloon popping machine (气球爆破装置) for play centers. He said, "We don't want children to cry because of 8 bangs (爆炸声) of balloons. I used a box to 9 the bangs so that they can't scare (惊吓) the children."
Have you ever wanted to be a great inventor? Watch 10, think it over and work hard. Maybe you will be an inventor. Do you think so?
