Nobody knows who invented the pencil or when it was invented. A Swiss (瑞士人)described a pencil in a book in 1565. He said it was a piece of wood with lead（铅）inside it. Pencils weren’t popular, and people continued to write with pens. In 1795,someone started making pencils from graphite(石墨) and they became very popular. Today, people make pencils in the same way. They make the graphite into the shape of a stick,and then they put it inside a piece of wood. One pencil can make a line（使一条线）as long as 55 kilometers.
When people first wrote with pens , they had to put the pen point into ink墨水after every few letters. Later someone invented a fountain pen(自来水笔) and this kind of pen could hold ink inside. A fountain pen can write several pages before you have to fill it again.
Two brothers, Ladislao and Georg Biro, invented the ballpoint pen(圆珠笔)that we use today. They left their country Hungary and started producing ballpoint pens in England in 1943 during World War II. Later, a French company called Bic bought the Biro’s company. Someone calls ballpoint pens bics. Australians call them biros. Whatever we call them, we use them every day.

A. In 1565.

In your school，are you allowed to choose the subjects you want to learn？Of course，the answer is “No” here in China.
In America there is a school trying something new. At a high school in Florida，students will be able to choose their own classes. We all know that some students are better at some subjects than others. Some students plan to go on to college，while others will not. At this school students are able to find subjects they are interested in，and possibly even find the field(领域) they would like to go into after school. They are allowed to choose a subject like biology，math，a foreign language，or study skills like computer or car repair(修理)．
Some people think this is a good idea，because it helps students think about what they want to do in the future，and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there. They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes makes high school more interesting. Others disagree. They think that fourteen year old teenagers are too young to know what they will want to do in the future.
What do you think？Would you like to be able to choose your own classes？Many useful changes have been made in education，but seeing the differences in each student is also important. How can we help each student become a better student?
