There have been many great inventions or things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was the one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distance.

For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that were as much useful as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore （探索） much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.

In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera， the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today.

The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. Movies with sound in 1926， the computer in 1928， jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon （尼龍） came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.

The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.

In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning， though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together： piano lessons， movies， swimming， horseback riding.

When I was 13， my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters， and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes， and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back， stamped “Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to find Linda.

Over the years， I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans，” I thought， but I still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin！” she said excitedly， “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”

Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much， even after 40 years， laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure： We won’t lose each other again！
