Wood-block printing was invented sometime between the 4th and the 7th c 1    in China. The earliest book that we have was p 2     in 868 and was found in a Dunhuang cave. Wood-block printing took a long time because a new block was needed for every p 3     in a book. By the 11th century，printed books could be f 4     all over China. They included books of Confucius’ thoughts,dictionaries,and books on maths. In 1340,books could be printed with two c 5     , black and red.

A 6     the Chinese learnt about printing so early,printing was not introduced to other parts of the world for hundreds of years. It is thought that when the great Italian traveler Marco Polo visited China in the 13th century,he s 7     printed books. It is possible that Marco Polo brought that k 8     to Europe. But printed books did not come to Europe u 9      1450,when a German called

Johann Gutenberg i 10     a printing machine. Twenty-four years later,in 1474,an Englishman called William Caxton printed the first printed book in English. His second book was about the game of chess. Caxton printed about a hundred books,and some can still be found today in museums.

 Everyone talks about the “five” senses of man. And it is true that we get our information about the outside world from our senses of sight,hearing,smell,touch and taste. Researchers tell us that the sense of sight gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies， while the other senses，the hearing，the smell，the touch，and the taste，bring into our brains information about the other 20% of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we can’t get along without,though they are seldom noticed.

 Sometimes something looks different from another thing,but it is usually the same. Sometimes something looks the same as another thing,but it is really different.

Sometimes we cannot believe our eyes. Here is an example. If we are standing in front of an entrance of a tunnel，we can see the other end where we go out. We feel the entrance much bigger than the other end. If we go through the tunnel,we find that the ends are the same size. One is not bigger than the other. They are the same size.

Now let’s turn around and look through the tunnel from the other end. Now we find that the end near us looks bigger. The other end looks smaller. But we know that they are the same size.

Things that are near us seem big. Things that are not near us seem small. We know that one lamp post in the streets is just like another. They are all equally tall. But if an artist draws a picture of a street,he will not make the lamp posts all the same size. He will make the first one big,the second one a little smaller,and the third one a little smaller than the second one. The ones that are the farthest away are the smallest. When things move away,they look smaller. When things come nearer,they look bigger.
