Some inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post-it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there, are an example of such an invention.
Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from a frustrating experience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.
Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive (粘合剂) that a workmate, Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.
A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new "bookmarks" and attached it to a report he was going to give to a workmate. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more samples of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.
Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the "sticky pieces of paper" for trial use(试用). When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.

Ever since I was a child, my mouth has caused me trouble. I'm not a bad person; I have a hard time
learning when to keep my mouth closed.
My mom has told me again and again, " Robert, your constant bad words are hurting me. If you continue
to be this rude, you will get into big trouble. "
It's been a problem at school several times too when teachers have told me something l didn't want to hear.
I used to feel it was my duty to stand up for myself.
One day in English class I began working on my homework until I heard a classmate talking behind me. It
was Nathaniel, talking to himself as usual.
I said ever so nicely, "Nathaniel, would you be quiet?"
Wathaniel continued talking to himself. I quickly shouted " Nathaniel, shut up ! "
For the next five minutes, we threw hurtful words hack and forth at each other.
"At least I don't have an ugly lazy eye like you!" I shouted.
I knew this would upset him deep inside. Jt would hurt his feelings and shut him up.
What I said filled him with anger. He tried co reach over my seat and grab me as he shouted, "That's it!
That's it ! "
Surprised at his reaction, I sat back in my seat. Never had I seen Nathaniel act like this before.
Later on, we were taken to the principal's ofrice.
There, Mr. Black, the principal, told us to discuss the matter. It wasn't until then that I finally found chat
when I hurt someone physically, the wounds eventually heal. But when I hurt them with my words,
sometimes the pain (痛苦) never goes away.
At the end of the discussion, I said sorry to Nathaniel. When I headed back to my room, I spent some
time praying. I began to think about how often what I said hurt others. But I believe that as l keep praying
and asking God to help me, he'll tell me when to keep my mouth closed.
