　　Many household items have been the result of inventions of people who desired better functioning of the existent products.Every individual has intelligence and if it is used properly for the right purpose it leads to invention of a new tool or device.Many new household inventions are made almost every day and there are specific companies，which particularly keep a record of all these inventions.

　　A lot of inventions have been made recently in the household field.These products are patented (專利) and have trade mark licenses.The patented sliding cinch is a very simple but effective method to prevent shoulder stress and injury for those who work before computers all day long.Vanity PC is a type of computer furniture that specifically hides all the computer wires and keeps a clean and good look.All the outdoor dust，mud and snow can be kept out of the house by installing (安裝) the dirt drain (排水管) at the entrance of the door.Another important invention is the automatic toilet night-light，in which a small light starts when the lid of the toilet seat is opened and closes as soon as the lid is closed.

　　Moving to a new neighborhood，town，state，or even country can be a pretty scary

　　experience.All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won’t know the kids

　　at your new school.

　　The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried.This is perfectly normal but don’t let these emotions overrun your thoughts！You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.

　　Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult.However，as you begin the moving process，keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house，school，and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent！If you’re moving to a new state or even a different country and won’t see your friends for a long nme，don’t despair.Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters.Also，thanks to the

　　Internet，it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies.With

　　your parent’s permission，you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new

　　experiences.Include your thoughts，tales of your new adventures，even pictures of new friends，your new house，and new town.Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.

　　Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week.This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.

　　While moving is tough on kids of any age，high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens.“I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience，especially if you are into your junior high or senior year.Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives.Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases，and when they are torn from that there’s often resentment (怨氣)．” However，Turner adds that while moving isn’t easy，there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.
