steel wire bent into a looped(環(huán)形的) shape，is an instrument used to hold sheets of paper together.This common device is a wonder of simplicity and function.But where did this simple，cheap，and practical invention come from?In the late 19th century，the most common way to hold papers together was by using a pin.Although the pin was an inexpensive tool and was easily removable，it would leave holes in the paper.Later，as steel wire became more common，inventors began to notice its elastic(有彈性的) feature.With this feature，it could be stretched and twisted into various cliplike objects.In the years just before 1900，quite a few paperclip designs appeared.The name most frequently associated with the paperclip invention is Johan Vaaler，a Norwegian inventor.However，Vaalers clips were not the same as the paperclips currently in use.Specifically，they did not have the inside loop we see today.The familiar looped design was invented by Gem Manufacturing Ltd.in England.This clip is therefore sometimes known as the Gem clip.Because of Vaaler，the paperclip played an important historical role in Norway.During World War ，Norway was occupied by the Nazis.Norwegians were prohibited from wearing any symbol of their national unity(團(tuán)結(jié))，such as buttons with the initials of their king.Thus，in protest，they started wearing paperclips to show their unity.The reason for doing this was simple：Paperclips were a Norwegian invention whose original function was to bind together.After the war，a giant paperclip statue was put up in Oslo to honour Vaalereven though his design was never actually produced.【文章大意】本文是一項(xiàng)科技發(fā)明曲別針。主要介紹曲別針的發(fā)明過(guò)程和其構(gòu)造以及主要功能。1According to the first paragraph，the paperclip is_Amade of paperBfor holding clothes togetherCshaped like a

planning to move to Auckland to study，my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India，where we lived.She worried particularly about the lack of jobs，the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.Despite these worries，I came to New Zealand in July 2009.I have found the place and people very nice and supportive.Soon after I arrived，I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.Determined to do this on my own，I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job.However，I received little or no response.This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.One afternoon，I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities.The people there were very surprised，and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner.As I was about to leave，a clerk in the building，who had been listening to what the others had said，approached me and asked if I would wait outside.Fifteen minutes later，he returned.He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident.He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.I was a little surprised，but had a good feeling about him，so I went along.Along the way，I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume(簡(jiǎn)歷)The man stopped at his business partners office to make me 15 extra copies.He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking，and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything.I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied.The following
