　　You may never heard of Ladislao Biro, but you have certainly heard of the pen he invented—the ballpoint pen（圆珠笔）, or biro. Before Biro invented his pen, people wrote with fountain pens. The ink sometimes went out. In the 1930s, Biro was a magazine editor in Budapest in Hungary. He noticed that the inks which the magazine’s printers used dried very quickly. Biro wondered if quick—drying inks could be used in pens. He came up with the idea of a tube（管子）of ink with a free—moving ball on the end. As a person wrote, the ball collected ink from the tube and rolled it on to the paper. The pen would be cheap and could be thrown away when the ink was used up.
