The invention of barcodes（商品条形码） comes from a very simple idea. We only need to give each product （产品） a specific （特定的） number and print it.Then computers can read it quickly.We could just print the number itself. But this can lead to problems.For example，an unclearly printed "seven" could look like a"one" to a computer. It's also true for "three" and"eight".And"nine" looks quite like"six" if you turn it upside down.We need a better way of printing numbers so that they can be read correctly at high speeds.That's the problem barcodes solve.
Each number in a barcode is shown by seven blocks （块） of the same size.These are colored black or white to show the number zero to nine.For example，the number "one" is shown in turn by two white stripes （条），two black stripes，two white stripes，and one black stripe. Even if you turn it upside down，it isn't like to any other number.
A barcode includes different parts and each one provides a specific meaning，The first part of a barcode tells you the county where the product was made. For example，690﹣﹣692 is the barcode for China.The next part tells you who produced
the product.The final part is about the product itself. This is how barcodes work.
