Have you ever wondered why we call capital letters “uppercase” and small letters “lowercase”? Actually, the answer has     11     to do with importance or value — these terms come from the history of printing presses (印刷机)!

Back in the 1400s, when Johannes Gutenberg     12     the printing press in Germany, printers had to arrange (排列) every single letter by hand. They stored thousands of metal letters in special wooden drawers (抽屉) called “cases”.

    13     small letters like a, b, and c were used much more     14     in writing, printers kept them in the lower case—the bottom drawer that was easy to     15     while working. Capital letters (A, B, C), which appeared     16     often, were stored in the upper case—the higher drawer that     17     printers to reach up. This practical     18     gave us the terms we still use today.

Interestingly, uppercase and lowercase letters don’t just look different—they     19     different to readers.

When you see a text written in ALL CAPS, it often feels like someone is     20     or giving an important warning. For example, if your friend texts you “HELP”     21     “help”, you immediately know something serious is happening. Studies show that uppercase letters seem “louder” and more attention-grabbing. That is why road signs saying “STOP” or “DANGER” use capitals: they must catch your     22     immediately.

On the other hand, lowercase letters create feelings of warmth, friendliness and closeness. Reading a message in lowercase is like having a     23     conversation with a friend. This is why many modern brands use lowercase in their names and logos to seem approachable and friendly. Think about iPhone, Google, or adidas, they often use lowercase letters in their products to     24     with young people.

So the next time you type a message, think carefully: Are you “shouting” with uppercase, or “whispering” with lowercase? Your choice of letters sends a message     25     than the words themselves!

15．A．reach B．search C．match D．store
