There are many kinds of pencils: some have erasers on top; some are colorful. You may have used many kinds of them for many years, but do you know the history of pencils?Many years ago, people in Egypt used lead (铅) to write. Now pencils are made from graphite (石墨) instead of lead. In 1564, people found that graphite could leave black marks. At first, people used it to make marks on their sheep. Later they used the graphite to write. They thought it was lead. Graphite left a blacker mark than lead, but it was not strong enough so it needed something to hold it.In 1565, Conrad Gesner first put graphite into something to hold it. Later, in the 1600s, German people mixed graphite with some other things and used them for writing. Later, France couldnt get pencils from both the English and the Germans, so Nicholas Jacques Conte began to make pencils. In France, there was little graphite, so he mixed graphite with clay (粘土).In 1812, William Munroe made the first American wood pencils. Later, a man put a small eraser on top of a pencil. A new kind of pencil was born.46 . The passage is mainly about the _ of pencils.AkindsBhistoryCmaterialsDshapes47 . People began to write with lead first in _.AEgyptBEnglandCGermanyDChina48 .

Nine-year-old Samia says she enjoys the online lessons. She said, “It helps me because sometimes when were doing it in class, I dont hear the teacher very much and I dont understand, but online is better.”Tom Hooper started the company.

Walking backwards might be a way to solve this problem. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, volunteers were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 metres forward. The second group walked 10 metres backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.The scientists found that the backward- walking group got two more.answers correct on average than the other groups.This suggests that the relationship between the concepts(概念）of time and space is important considering how our minds form memories. Time is really expressed via(通过）space,”Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told The Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different way compared to walking forward. This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.And walking backward is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. This can ameliorate our health, according to New Scientist, Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories.Besides, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. It could.be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the Unegon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines（脊柱）strong, which can help to reduce pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward.55 . In the experiment, the first group was asked to_.Awalk 10 metres forwardBwalk 10 metres backwardCkeep on moving aroundDstand in one place56 . The experiment shows that walking backward_.Aputs less tress on our kneesBhelps with the rest of our bodyCuses more energy i
