四、阅读理解。
As a way of passing on knowledge, ideas and creativity(创造力), books have played an important part in human civilization(文明).
In 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.
In the 15th century, the invention of the printing press appeared and changed the book - making business and even the world. This made it possible to print books quickly. Even common people could buy and read books.
In the 20th century, computers and the Internet changed the world again. A new kind of book appeared: the electronic book(e - book). E - books have opened up a new world for readers. They are quickly changing people's reading habits. It is easier for people to buy and sell books online and carry the whole library in their pockets. Therefore, information travels faster and farther.
In a word, the history of the book shows the development of human civilization. From ancient scrolls to e - books, the book has changed to meet the needs of humans. In the future, it is possible that books will continue to change. Now, people have many ways to read books. But more importantly, people should keep on reading!
