30、microwave, the computer, or the cell phone? If you answered toothbrush, then you agreed with 42% of the people who were asked this same question in a survey done by Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Apparently, people have wanted clean teeth for a long time. From as far back as 3000 B.C., ther

But neither of these methods was particularly effective. So who deserves the credit for the low-tech, but efficient invention of the toothbr

32、ush? A Chinese emperor made the first toothbrush in 1498. It consisted of hard animal hair stuck into a piece of bone. But toothbrushes didnt become popular immediately.

38、eas to people too far away to talk with. Until the 6th or 7th century, all books had to be written by hand. Creating a book was difficult, and in comparison with today, very few books existed. Therefore, very few people read books. In the 6th and 7th centuries, the Chinese invented a way to print p

39、ages by carving characters and pictures on wooden, ivory, or clay blocks. They would put ink on the blocks and then press paper onto the ink, printing a page from the block. This process is called letterpress printing. The invention of letterpress printing was a great advance in communication becaus

43、an having to have whole pages carved. Movable type was much more efficient than the earlier Chinese print blocks because books could be created much more quickly by people with less skill.,In Europe, movable type was used for the first time in the 15th century. And there, Johannes Gutenberg invented

44、 typecasting, a way to make movable type much more quickly, by melting metal and pouring it into the forms of the letters.

63、invention, time was inseparable from events, the main one being the Sun crossing the sky. Only local time existed, no universal river of time. If you agreed to meet someone at sunset, you had to say where, because the Sun is always setting somewhere. The sundial merely divided the Suns daily journey

64、 into units, which meant the hour had no fixed length: it swelled and shrank with the seasons. The mechanical clock created public time which is a universal current flowing everywhere at the same pace. People could now communicate with each other by coordinating to this universal frame of reference.

65、 Thus, clocks made factories, offices, schools, meetings, and appointments possible. In a clock-driven world, most of us are now either “on time,” “ahead of schedule,” or “running late.”,Reference Sample,Lesson 2,,Lesson 2,Lead-in,Listening,Speaking,Reading,Writing,,,,,,2-Lead-in,,Lead-in,Sitcom: Pa
