Do you know who invented it 文本翻译 The zip has become so common that we almost take it for granted. Whitcomb L.

Before its invention, believe it or not, bread was used to erase pencil marks. Even better, in 1858, Hymen Lipman invented the all-in-one pencil with an eraser. In 1968, a US scientist, Dr Spencer Silver, attempted to develop a super-strong adhesive. However, he accidentally created a reusable, pressure-sensitive adhesive. In 1974, one of his colleagues came up with the idea of using the adhesive to anchor his bookmark. The original notes’ yellow colour was chosen by accident, as the lab next door to the Post-it team had only yellow scrap paper to use. 文本翻译 06 Around the World 06 拉链如此普遍以至于我们几乎习以为常。来自芝加哥的惠特科姆·L·贾德森被认为是拉链的发明者，但事实上是吉迪恩·桑德巴克设计了现代拉链。现今，每年生产的拉链总长足以绕地球好多圈。 Around the World 06 橡皮发明于1770年，用于擦掉铅笔字迹。不管你信不信，在发明橡皮之前，面包曾被用于擦除铅笔痕迹。更好的是，在1858年，海门·李普曼发明了带橡皮的多功能铅笔。 1968年，美国一位科学家斯潘塞·西尔弗博士试图开发一种超强力的粘合剂。然而，他意外地创造了一种可重复使用的压敏胶。1974年，他的一个同事想到了用这种胶来固定书签。最初便利贴选中黄色也非常偶然，因为便利贴小组隔壁的实验室只有黄色小纸片可以用。 Around the World zip GideonSundback all-in-all pencil Hymen Lipman 1770/1858 note Dr Spencer Silver 1974 一、选择合适的词组完成句子 solve problems changed the world has brought convenience to life bring success and fame broaden our mind promote technical development protect the environment brought economic benefits 1.
