菁優(yōu)網(wǎng)Toasty(溫暖的) Ears If your ears got very cold in winter,what would you invent to keep them warm?Chester Greenwood's cold ears were a big problem.So he invented earmuffs.Chester lived in Farmington,Maine.He liked to play outside in winter,but he could not stay outside for long.After just a few minutes,Chester's ears would be painfully cold.They would turn bright red.Then purple,then white,then blue.
    In 1873 for his fifteenth birthday,Chester got a pair of ice skates.He couldn't wait to try them out.Just after he got on the ice,a cold wind hit his ears.He had to run back home in a hurry.By the time he got there,his ears were already blue.
    The next day he tied a heavy wool scarf around his head.His ears were finally warm.But the scarf was very scratchy (粗糙扎人的).He had to turn around and go home again.
    On the third day,Chester tried again.This time he made loops(圈) out of wire.Then he asked his grandmother to sew a piece of beaver fur(海貍皮毛) on one side of each loop.On the other side of the fur,she sewed a piece of black velvet(天鵝絨).She then sewed the whole thing to Chester's cap.His ears stayed warm and comfortable the whole time when he skated.
    Chester's neighbors wanted warm ears,too.It wasn't long before Chester's mother and grandmother were busy making ear covers.
    Greenwood's Ear Protectors became a big money-making business.When Chester opened an earmuff factory,F(xiàn)armington became the earmuff capital of the world.
    Chester Greenwood invented many other things.However,he may be best known for his earmuffs which are still popular today.
