B
What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the exam? Right. A pen.
The history of the pen is very long. A long time ago, people used sharp stones to make marks(标记) on things. Then, the ancient Egyptians made reed pens. They cut reeds and used them to write. Later, in China, people invented(发明) the writing brush. It feels soft and can write beautiful characters. In the Middle Ages in Europe, it was popular to use feathers of birds to write. And now, we have all kinds of pens like ballpoint pens and gel pens. They are very convenient.
Pens are widely used in many ways. Students use pens to do homework and take notes in class. Artists use special pens to draw pictures. Pens help us record(记录) knowledge and history. Because of pens, we can read many great works from different times. Pens also let us show our creativity(创造力). We can write our own thoughts and feelings. And when we write with a pen, it makes us think more.
In the future, pens will be more amazing. With the development of science and technology, pens might have built-in cameras to record what we write and draw. Maybe they can change colours according to our feelings and correct our spelling mistakes right away. They will also connect to the internet, helping to search for information while writing. What's more, they will be made of new materials that are environmentally friendly(环保的).
Pens are not just simple tools. They are one of the most powerful instruments that we use. They are a big part of culture and lives. They have changed the world greatly and will keep being important in the future.
