解析
本文是一篇记叙文。通读短文可知，本文讲述的是H.L. Lipman 如何从日常生活中发明带橡皮头的铅笔的故事。短文第一句话就表明本文将要讲述的话题是how objects we use today came from simple ideas，然后通过讲述 H.L.Lipman发明带橡皮头的铅笔的故事来说明。文章隐含着教育意义；在日常生活中要做有心人，善于细心观察，开发自己的创新能力。
小题1:本题的选择要注意上下文。四个选项均为动词，语法上都可填入，但文章说的是影响我们的生活和工作话题，即这些发明的东西改变了我们的生活方式，故选B.
小题2:本题四个选项均为副词，但根据上下文可知：新发明是为了解决问题，使得做事情更容易，所以A符合语境。
小题3:本段开始叙述H.L.Lipman的发明，讲述他是如何有这个注意的H.L.Lipman，的发明是观察中思考所得，而不是先有目标，故不能选B.
小题4:从语法上看，本题四个选项均可做连词用，但从语义上来说这里是承接关系，必须用and来连接三个宾语:pencil, paper, eraser故选B.
小题5:从上下文可知，写作时他需要修改。
小题6:这样他就经常需要在书本下把橡皮找出来。本题同时考词义辨析，四个选项都与“看有关，但只有表示“找出，找到。”
小题7:“我想让橡皮固定在一个地方（place）（便于寻找）”这是H.L.Lipman的想法。
小题8:这个地方当然是在笔头上最方便了，所以H.L.Lipman在铅笔的一端刻出(cut)一个凹槽了
小题9:他考虑到别人也需要这种铅笔，就把自己的设计（design）出售了。
小题10:（因为他的设计被出售）很快这种带橡皮头的铅笔就普及。 |

Last Sunday I saw the hardest storm in years. It came suddenly and went on for more than three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, and all was quiet.
Then the strong wind started blowing into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window. As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.
When I came back into the house, it was raining harder. I tried hard to close the window. Then I heard a loud crashing（撞击）sound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to find out what it was—a big tree had fallen down and broken the top of the back room.
