Q1. Chocolate chip cookies were actually a mistake! One day in 1903, Ruth Wakefield, while baking a
batch of cookies, noticed she was out of bakers’ chocolate! As a substitute she broke some semisweetened
chocolate into small pieces and put them in the dough. She thought that the chocolate would melt in the
dough and the dough would absorb it. When she opened up the oven, she realized she had invented the
tasty treat called chocolate chip cookies!
Q2. Computers originally began as calculators. The first calculator was made by Blaise Pascal. It only had
eight buttons, and it could only do addition and subtraction. There was a set of wheels, and all of the
wheels had the numbers zero through nine on them. The wheels were connected by gears and each turn of
one wheel would turn the next wheel one-tenth of a turn. This machine was completed in 1642 when Blaise
was twenty one years old.
Q3. A helicopter has a big advantage over an airplane, especially when people might be trapped in a tight
place like on a mountain, where there is not much space to land, or on the water. They are also used for
rescuing people from burning buildings or from trees when there are floods. Without the helicopter as a
rescue vehicle, many people would lose their lives because the rescuers would be unable to reach them if
they were in a difficult area.
