35、puzzle produces a picture or design. Jigsaw puzzles were first created by producing a picture on a flat, rectangular ( 矩形) piece of wood, then cutting that picture into small pieces with a jigsaw thats where the name comes from! Pictures found on jigsaw puzzles mainly include scenes from nature, cit
36、y life and similar designs. Castles, mountains and water scenes are traditional subjects. However, any kind of picture can be used to make a jigsaw puzzle. Cartoon-styles are popular.
