五、阅读理解。
①As a way of passing on knowledge, ideas and creativity(创造力), books have played an important part in human civilization(文明).
②In ancient(古代的) times, there were no books, and people passed on their knowledge by telling stories. The earliest forms of the books were made in ancient Egypt. These early scrolls（卷轴）were used to record stories, laws and history. Later, people learned how to write and make paper. They wrote each word by hand. It took a long time to write just one book, making books rare and expensive.
③In the 15th century, the printing press was invented, changing the book-making business and even the world. This made it possible to print books quickly. Even common people could buy and read books.
