【题目】For hundreds of years printing was difficult andvery slow. As more people learned to read, peoplewanted to find a quicker, better, and less expensiveway to print books. One of these people was Johann

Gutenberg, who was born in Mainz, Germany, around 1400.

Gutenberg was an intelligent man, and he wasgood at working with metal. His idea was to make ametal stamp for each letter of the alphabet(字母表)and use the letters over and over. He could put the

stamps together to make words and arrange(排列)thewords to make pages. With ink on the stamps, hecould press paper on them to make a page. This kindof printing press (印刷机) could make hundreds of copies of a single page quickly. After one page wasfinished, he could rearrange the same letters to makeother words and print other pages.

It took Gutenberg many years to make stampsfor each letter of the alphabet. When he finished thestamps, he didn't have enough money to make theprinting press. He borrowed money from a mannamed Johann Fust. They became business partners.After many years, Gutenberg's printing press was ready. Gutenberg printed his first book, the Bible,around 1455.

Johann Fust was a clever businessman. Heunderstood the value of Gutenberg's invention. Hetook Gutenberg to court (法院) because Gutenbergcouldn't pay back the money.
