Look at the
keyboard of any standard typewriter or computer.
are the first six letters. Who decided
on this arrangement of the letters? And why?
People
tried
for
centuries
to
invent
the
typewriter.
In
1714
in
England,
Henry
Mill
filed
a
patent for a machine
called An Artificial Machine or Method for the
Impressing or Transcribing of
Letters,
Singly or Progressively one after another, as in
Writing, whereby all Writing whatsoever
may be Engrossed in Paper or Parchment
so Neat and Exact as not to be distinguished from
Print.
That machine probably didn' t
sell because no one could remember its name!
The
first
practical
typewriter
was
patented
in
the
United
States
in
1868
by
Christopher
Latham Sholes.
His machine was known as the type-writer. It had a
movable carriage, a lever for
turning
paper from line to line, and a keyboard on which
the letters were arranged in alphabetical
order.
But Sholes had a problem. On his first
model, his
jam when the typist worked
quickly. Sholes didn' t know how to keep the keys
from sticking, so
his
solution
was
to
keep
the
typist
from
typing
too
asked
his
brother-in-law
to
rearrange the keyboard so that the
commonest letters were not so close together and
the type
bars
would
come
from
opposite
directions.
Thus
they
would
not
clash
together
and
jam
the
new
arrangement
was
the
QWERTY
arrangement
typists
use
today.
Of
course,
Sholes claimed that
the new arrangement was scientific and would add
speed and efficiency. The
only
efficiency
it
added
was
to
slow
the
typist
down,
since
almost
any
word
in
the
English
language required the typist' s fingers
to cover more distance on the keyboard.
The
advantages
of
the
typewriter
outweighed
the
disadvantages
of
the
keyboard.
Typists
memorized the crazy
letter arrangement, and the typewriter became a
huge success. By the time
typists
had
memorized
the
new
arrangement
of
letters
and
built
their
speed,
typewriter
technology had improved, and the keys
didn' t stick as badly as they had at first.
Questions 1 to
5 are based on the passage above.

the inventor of the first practical typewriter
is_____.

opher Latham

decided the QWERTY
arrangement of the keyboard in order to_____.

quickly

scientific arrangement

第一段的
“
Who decided on this
arrangement of the letters? And
why?
”是全文的主旨句，文章后面的内容都是围绕这两个问题展开的。
The
British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that
separation from the parents during the
sensitive
“
attach
ment
”
period from
birth to three may scar a child's personality and
predispose
to emotional problems in
later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion
from Bowlby's work
that children should
not be subjected to day care before the age of
three because of the parental
separation it
entails
，
and many
people do believe this. But there are also
arguments against
such a strong
conclusion.
Firstly
，
anthropologists
point
out
that
the
insulated
love
affair
between
children
and
parents found in modern societies does
not usually exist in traditional societies. For
example
，
we saw
earlier that among the Ngoni the father and mother
of a child did not rear their infant
alone
——
far from
it. Secondly
，
common sense tells us that day care
would not so widespread
today if
parents
，
caretakers found children had problems
with it. Statistical studies of this kind
have
not
yet
been
carried
out
，
and
even
if
they
were
，
the
results
would
be
certain
to
be
complicated and
controversial.
Thirdly
，
in
the
last
decade
，
there
have
been
a
number
of
careful
American
studies
of
children in day
care
，
and they
have uniformly reported that day care had a
neutral or slightly
positive
effect
on
children's
development.
But
tests
that
have
had
to
be
used
to
measure
this
development are not widely enough
accepted to settle the issue.
But
Bowlby's
analysis
raises
the
possibility
that
early
day
care
has
delayed
effects.
The
possibility that such care might lead
to
，
say
，
more mental illness or crime 15 or 20
years later
can
only
be
explored
by
the
use
of
statistics.
Whatever
the
long-term
effects
，
parents
sometimes
find
the
immediate
effects
difficult
to
deal
with.
Children
under
three
are
likely
to
protest
at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At
the age of three or three and a half
almost all children find the transition
to nursery easy
，
and this is undoubtedly why more and
more parents make use of child care at
this time. The matter
，
then
，
is far from clear-
cut
，
though
experience and available evidence indicate that
early care is reasonable for infants.
passage primarily argues
that ___.
s
under the age of three should not be sent to
nursery schools.
r children under the age of three
should be sent to nursery schools.
is not negative long-term
effect on infants who are sent to school before
they are

is some negative effect on children

three.
