北师大版八下 Unit 2 Communication Workshop 巩固提升 一、阅读选择（共1小题） Cut, copy, and paste (粘贴). These three commands (命令) are often used in computers and phones, and they started with one man: Larry Tesler. Tesler became a student at Stanford University in 1961, when he was just 16 years old. He started working for Xerox, a company best known for its photocopiers (复印机), in 1973.
