Dr Richard Fairhurst,     1     new book The New Age of Invention has just been published, is an     2     (invent) himself. He thinks there have been golden ages of     3     (invent) throughout history and the present day is     4     new age for inventions. Most of the new great inventions are     5     (base) on advances in virtual reality, wearable tech, the flexible battery, madicine and     6     (environment) science. 3D printers have been used to make replacement hearts and bone parts.     7     terms of the environment, it is now possible     8     (create) an intelligent walking house. It is capable of using GPS technology to travel to different places, with computing technology     9     (control) its “legs”. Solar technology can be eco-friendly, too. Most inventions start with recognising a problem that    10     (need) a solution. That people have an incredible desire to think and create, and that is the real spirit of invention.

In the modern workplace, the     1     (adopt) principles of games are now playing an important role in successfully building teams of problem solvers.

He said, “I    4     (strong) suggest that people should not just buy a red light online. The red light should produce the right wavelength and be    5     (rely). We are looking for a partner to do this and to make them affordable (负担得起的) for almost everyone.”

The study    6     (do) by a university. Researchers conducted tests    7     men and women aged between 28 and 72. They said some cells     8     helped process light had worsened in old people.
