44、 and then as an adult. They never became dull or boring and they always filled me with delight.

46、o? You press a key and some levers( 杠杆) make a small tool inside hit just the right piano string to make a note.

47、 the paper. The first machine did have the letter keys in the order of the letters we learn. But the trouble was that if you hit two keys quickly the levers would jam(卡住). Jams were most likely when the two keys were close together on the keyboard.Christopher Sholes, an American inventor, succeeded in dealing with the problem.He tried many ways to avoid the need to type two keys that were close together. The best way he could find was similar to the QWERTY keyboard we all use today. Sholes also made the name of his machine easy to type.
