37、BAlmost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will in a lifetime, push the chromeplated_contraptions many miles. But few will know or even think to ask who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he

38、 was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.O

39、n June 4, 1937, Goldmans first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldnt wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give

40、 them a try.After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they werent using his carts. “Dont you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket？” one shopper replied.But Goldman wasnt beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give th

41、em a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假的) customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his m

42、arket. But not only did more people come those who came bought more. With larger easiertohandle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Todays shopping carts are five times larger than Goldmans original model. Perhaps thats one reason why Americans today spend m

43、ore than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937 the coming of the shopping cart.5What do the underlined words “chromeplated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?ABaskets. BPrivate cars.CSuitcases. DShopping carts.6What was the purpose of Goldmans invention?AIt wa

44、s to prove him to be a good inventor.BIt was to reduce the burden of his employees work.CIt was to make shopping easier and attract more business.DIt was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market.7Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order to _.Aattract pe

45、ople to buy things in his marketBencourage people to use his shopping cartsCmake his market different from the othersDkeep the groceries from being stolen8What can we infer from the last paragraph?AGoldman will become very famous because of his invention.BGoldmans invention will be regarded as the g

46、reatest one in the world.CSupermarket business has benefited a lot from Goldmans invention.DThere will be nothing that can replace Goldmans invention.CGriffith Observatory (天文臺(tái)) is a national leader in public astronomy, and one of the most popular attractions in Los Angeles.
