Sometimes the greatest things are invented by mistake. The greatest mistake of all time could be those delicious snacks in your corner drugstore.

One day, a woman was making chocolate biscuits. When she ran out of chocolate powder, she took out a chocolate bar and broke it into little pieces. She added the pieces to her biscuit dough and baked it. She thought that the chocolate would melt in the oven and make chocolate biscuits. Far from melting, the pieces of chocolate stayed hard. When she took them out of the oven, she had chocolate chip biscuits!

Another accidental invention was made by Frank Epperson, an eleven-year-old boy. In 1905, Frank sat outside on a winter evening, mixing up a big jug of powdered soda pop. Frank accidentally left the jug out during the night. When he went outside the next morning, he found the mixture in the jug frozen with the mixing stick stuck in the middle. Frank pulled out the frozen pop and tasted it. It was delicious! Frank started selling Epperson Icicles for 5 cents each. He later changed the name to Popsicles.

So, the next time you drop your hamburger into your ice cream or your cooked potatoes into your chicken soup, don't worry! Some of the most delicious foods in the world were invented that way!意外的发明

有时候，最伟大的发明是无意而为之。有史以来最大的错误可能是街角药店里的那些美味零食。

一天，一个女人在做巧克力饼干，当巧克力粉用完的时候，她拿出了一个巧克力棒并将其弄碎成小块。她将这些巧克力碎块加到饼干面团里烘焙。她原以为烤箱里的巧克力会融化，然后就成了巧克力饼干。但是这些巧克力碎块并没有融化，而是依然非常坚硬。她从烤箱取出来的竟是巧克力碎饼干！

还有一个偶然的发明是由11岁的男孩弗朗克·埃珀森完成的。1905年的一个冬夜，弗朗克坐在外面搅拌一大罐粉末状苏打水。晚上，弗朗克无意间将罐子留在了外面。他第二天早上出去的时候，发现罐子里的混合物和搅拌用的棍子冻在了一起。弗朗克把结冻的苏打水拔出来尝了尝。特别美味！弗朗克开始以5分一个的价格出售“埃珀森冰柱”。不久后他将其改名为“冰棒”。

所以，下次如果你的汉堡掉进冰淇淋里或是烧好的土豆倒进鸡汤时，不要担心！有些世界上最好吃的食物就是那样创造出来的！相关词汇　WORDS

Better think twice before choosing a password for email, online bank or shopping. Simple passwords are easy to be stolen. A password is like a key to your home. If someone steals it, he'll get chances to steal something else. We use passwords everywhere in our life. We are so used to passwords that we don't pay any attention to them until we lose or forget one. A study of 28,000 passwords recently stolen from a popular website showed that people often do the easy thing. It found that sixteen percent took a first name as a password. Another fourteen percent used the easiest keyboard combinations such as "12345678" or QWERTY. Five percent of the stolen passwords were names of television shows or stars popular with young people. Three percent of the passwords expressed feelings like "I don't care", "Whatever", "I love you", or it's opposite, "I hate you".

Robert Graham, who did the study, advises people to choose a password that is longer than eight characters with one capital letter and one symbol. Of course, safe passwords don't mean those hard to remember. Forgetting your password is sometimes a big headache for you. Maybe, the perfect password is easy for you and hard for others.网络密码的设置秘诀

在给邮箱、网上银行或购物选密码之前最好谨慎考虑。简单的密码容易被盗。密码就像你家的钥匙。如果有人偷走了它，他就有机会盗取其他的物品。我们在生活中处处都要用到密码。因为对密码已经习以为常，所以我们只有在丢失或忘记密码时才会关注它们。最近一个关于从一热门网站上28,000个密码被盗的研究表明，人们经常做简单的事情。研究显示16％的人用名字作密码。还有14％的人选用最简单的键盘组合，例如，“12345678”或“QWERTY”。被盗密码中的5％是电视节目名称或年轻人喜爱的明星。还有3％的密码表达了诸如“我不在乎”、“管他呢”、“我爱你”或者相反的“我恨你”之类的情感。

做这项调查的罗伯特·格雷厄姆建议人们选一个多于8个字母且包含一个大写字母和一个符号的密码。当然，安全的密码不是指那些难记的。忘记密码有时也是件很头疼的事情。也许，完美的密码是对你来说容易记住而对别人来说很难破解的。相关词汇　WORDS

Within the next 10 years, the US, China, Israel, and a crowd of private companies plan to set up camp on the moon. So if they plant a flag, does that give them property rights?

A NASA working group hosted a discussion this week to ask: Who owns the moon? The answer, of course, is no use. The Outer Space Treaty, the international law signed by more than 100 countries, states that the moon and other celestial bodies are the province of all mankind. No doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the Middle Ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs. But ownership is different from property rights. People who rent apartments, for example, don't own where they live, but they still hold rights. So with all of the upcoming missions to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush. "This is a very relevant discussion right now. We've got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world," said William Marshall, a scientist in the small spacecraft office at NASA, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by NASA's Co Lab, a collaborative public-private working group. He was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency.

To be sure, the United States aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2015, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. China and Israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. And for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize. Some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission.月球的主权

在接下的10年内，美国、中国、以色列以及很多私人公司计划在月球上驻扎。因此，如果他们在上面竖起一面旗，这是否意味着他们有了财产权？

一个NASA工作小组这周主持了一个讨论提问：月球属于谁？当然，这个答案是没有用的。外太空协议，即一项由100多个国家签署的国际法律，规定月球以及其他天体是全人类的财产。毫无疑问这会惹怒从古至今各个时代的人，比如中世纪的那些声称月球属于他们的修道士们。但是所有权不等于财产权。比如说租房者没有产权，但是依然享有居住的权利。所以随着接踵而来的所有代表团即将探访月球或者更远的太空，航天工业的思想引领者正在认真考虑如何应对潜在的蜂拥而至的登月活动。“这是目前一个意义非凡的讨论。我们面临着全世界新一波登月派遣队的浪潮。”一个NASA小航天器工作室的科学家威廉·马歇尔在这周一个由NASA的合作实验室——一个公私合营的工作组发表讲话。他的讲话仅代表个人立场，而非代表机构的利益。

可以肯定的是，在长期居留太空这个计划里，美国致力于到2015年将航天员送回月球。中国、以色列和其他的一些国家也在致力于月球项目。几家私人集团为了赢得几百万美金的谷歌月球X大奖，首次着手建造可以降落在月球上的航天器。一些参与者说他们计划在任务中获得一些产权。相关词汇　WORDS
