“I'd turn on the light, turn it off, turn it on，” said Becky. “My parents remember me running out the room saying‘It works, it works! I'm writing in the dark！’ ”

　　She used an acrylic board and coated it with a specific amount of phosphorescent paint. She took a complicated idea and made it work rather simply. When the coated clipboard is exposed to light, it glows. The glowing board then illuminates or lights up the paper that has been placed on top. Two years after her initial inspiration, in 1974, Becky became the youngest female ever to receive a U．S. patent.

　　She didn't actively market her Glo­sheet. She didn't need to. The New York Times wrote an article about an incredible invention－patented by a twelve­year­old, and the inquiries and orders streamed in.

　　语篇解读：本文讲述年龄的限制会制约人们的行为，但创造力是没有限制的，贝基在很小的年纪就发明了发光的表格就充分证明了这一点。

　　A．it is illegal for one to drive under sixteen

　　B．people enjoy privileges when over sixty­five

　　C．one is never too old or too young to invent
