W: I haven't quite finished mine yet. I had trouble getting past the beginning.
M: How come？
W: Well, I was really happy to be writing a detective story. But after the first few pages, I sort of froze up mentally. I just couldn't write any more.
M: The same thing happened to me. I thought it meant I lack imagination.
W: Well, Professor Wilson said it's pretty common for writers to get stuck like that.
M: You went to talk to her about it？
W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some advice about how to keep from getting stalled writing like that. She said that the first thing I should do is just write anything that comes into my head even if it doesn't make any sense, sort of warm up exercise.
M: That is interesting. When I got stuck, I shift to something else, you know, do some work for one of my other courses.
W: Well, her methods seem to have worked for me. I've written most of the story, and I should be able to hand it in on time. But first I need go to the jewelry store.
M: You are going shopping？ Can't you wait until you finish your story？
W: I am going there for my story. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery, so I want to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.

About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet. The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world. These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawing, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.

A．the pictures were thought to be helpful
B．the painters wanted to tell stories in pictures
C．the painters wanted to paint their hunted animals
D．both A and B
