第6問
B You are in a student group preparing a poster for a presentation
contest. You have been using the following passage to create the poster.
[A Brief History of Units of Length]
Since ancient times, people have measured things. Measuring helps humans
say how long, far, big, or heavy something is with some kind of accuracy.
While weight and volume are important for the exchange of food, it can be
argued that one of the most useful measurements is length because it is
needed to calculate area, which helps in the exchange, protection, and
taxation of property.
Measuring systems would often be based on or related to the human body.
One of the earliest known measuring systems was the cubit, which was
created around the 3rd millennium BC in Egypt and Mesopotamia. One cubit
was the length of a man's forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle
finger, which according to one royal standard was 524 millimeters (mm).
In addition, the old Roman foot (296 mm), which probably came from the
Egyptians, was based on a human foot.
