Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the shopping carts many miles, but few will know一or even think to ask一who it was that invented them.

Sylvan 'N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(拖、拉)groceries around in baskets they had to carry.

One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. To create the first shopping cart, Goldman used folding chairs. He took out one basket on the seat, and he raised the chair by putting wheels under tare legs. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.

On June 4, 1937, Goldman's first carts were ready for一use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He was eager to see them using his invention. However, Goldman was disappointed- Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts.

"Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?" one shopper replied.

Goldman wasn't beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could, let people have a try. To this end, Goldman hired(雇佣)a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the unreal customers.

As Goldman had hoped, the carts’ were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. Not only did more people come一those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.

Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model. Perhaps that's one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937一before the coming of the shopping cart.

1.Who invented the shopping carts?

A.Some shoppers. B.A supermarket assistant.

C.The unreal customers. D.An American supermarket owner.

2.Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market?

A.Because he wanted to sell more shopping carts.

C.Because he wanted customers to use the shopping carts.

D.Because he hoped to help shoppers carry their groceries.

d. Few shoppers would like to use the shopping carts.

A.b-d-c-a B.b-a-d-c C.a-d-c-b D.a-b-d=c

4.What's the best title of this passage?

A.How to Cheat Customers B.Goldman and His Shopping Carts

China isn’t well known for its science fiction films, but recently a new film called The Wandering Earth has become a great success. It has earned over $697 million worldwide. It tells an amazing story of the Earth in danger, along with exciting scenes of spaceships and outer space.

The Wandering Earth is based on a story by Liu Cixin, who is famous for The Three-Body Problem. In the story, the

sun was dying out, people all around the world worked together to move Earth out of the solar system and sail Earth to a new star system. The film began with the early life of a young boy who was born just after the project started. The engineers pushed Earth away and built vast cities under the ground for the rest of the humans to live in. Yet the 2500 years’ journey came with all kinds of dangers. In order to save the humans, a group of young people came out and fought hard for the planet.

China is playing an increasingly important part in the film industry. Its growing middle class has seen the rise of film market across the country, and Chinese viewers have become an important part of film industry. Hollywood Projects like Iron Man 3 specifically filmed more scenes in China for its market. Chinese film industry is keeping growing. Just as Americans want to get into the Chinese market, Chinese filmmakers are looking for their way to the international market.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Wandering Earth is China’s “first space” film. Chinese science fiction writer, Anna Wu, says science fiction “is a new challenge for the Chinese film industry.” Some Chinese filmmakers have achieved a great success at this kind of film, but most of them still have a long way to go.

Still, Wu notes that within China, “Not all the science fiction films have had success. It still takes time to accept science fictions,” and that with the development of our country, people are “getting busier, wealthier and more stressed,” which creates a perfect environment for this new kind of film and television. The Wandering Earth, she says, is a good example. “I also care about the money it earns, which will affect the future of Chinese science fiction films.”
