The brush pen was invented thousands of years ago. However ， the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well.
It is said that Meng Tian improved the pen. During a war ， Meng had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble ， so he was thinking of ways to improve it.
One day after hunting（狩猎）， Meng made his way home with some rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy ， one rabbit ’s tail left a long trail（痕迹） on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it ， “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick ， would it be easy to write with？ ”
On arriving home ， he tied the rabbit ’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit ’s hair was too smooth（光滑的） to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so upset that he threw away his “invention ” into a stone hole in the yard.
However ， Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time . A few rainy days later ， he happened to find his “invention ” fatter in the stone hole. He picked it up. The brush worked beautifully on silk because the special water cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last.

It is said that during Yao and Shun times， Shun ordered Yu to control the flood. One day， Yu took a boat to an island（岛）. He was so hungry that he used an earth pot to cook meat.

After that， to save time， he always took small branches to take out food from the hot pot. For a long time， he was skilled at picking up food with small sticks. In this way， the first types of chopsticks were born.
The chopsticks are made of different kinds of materials including bamboo， wood， animal bone， beautiful stone and some other materials. There are more than 200 types of chopsticks now. The bamboo chopsticks are most widely used.

Characters：Peter， Wendy， Slightly， Nibs， the twins
When everyone was ready， Peter knocked on the door gently（轻轻地）.
The door opened slowly， and a lady came out. It was Wendy. The boys all took off their hats.“Where am I？” Wendy asked.
Of course， Slightly was the first to get a word in.

“ ▲ ” said Peter. “We just need a nice motherly person.”

“It is. It is！” they all cried.
“Very well，” she said. “I will do my e inside now， you naughty（淘气的） children. I think there’s just enough time for me to finish the story of Cinderella before I put you to bed.”
They went in， and that was the first of the many joyful evenings they had with Wendy. By and by she made them comfortable in the big bed in their home under the trees. But she herself slept that night in the little house. Peter kept watching outside with a sword， because the pirates（海盗） could be heard drinking far away， and the wolves were going about for food.

The brush pen was invented thousands of years ago. However， the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well.
It is said that Meng Tian improved the pen. During a war， Meng had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble， so he was thinking of ways to improve it.
One day after hunting（狩猎）， Meng made his way home with some rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy， one rabbit’s tail left a long trail（痕迹） on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it， “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick， would it be easy to write with？”
On arriving home， he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth（光滑的） to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so upset that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard.
However， Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later， he happened to find his “invention” fatter in the stone hole. He picked it up. The brush worked beautifully on silk because the special water cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last.
73.Why did Meng Tian want to improve the pen？（不超过10个词）
Because his pen brought him much trouble.
74.When did Meng think of the good idea in Paragraph 3？（不超过10个词）

The brush pen was invented thousands of years ago. However ， the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well.
It is said that Meng Tian improved the pen. During a war ， Meng had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble ， so he was thinking of ways to improve it.
One day after hunting（狩猎）， Meng made his way home with some rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy ， one rabbit ’s tail left a long trail（痕迹） on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it ， “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick ， would it be easy to write with？ ”
On arriving home ， he tied the rabbit ’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit ’s hair was too smooth（光滑的） to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so upset that he threw away his “invention ” into a stone hole in the yard.
However ， Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time . A few rainy days later ， he happened to find his “invention ” fatter in the stone hole. He picked it up. The brush worked beautifully on silk because the special water cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last.
