  He walked slower as he came to the block where he knew the building was. It was probably in the middle of the block. It was 7:30 and all the other stores were closed and covered with iron gratings. Yeah, that must be it, he mumbled to himself. He almost stopped as he pictured himself walking into the room. Everyone would be looking at him. What would he say?“Good evening. I'm Spencer.”No. Maybe he would ring the bell outside and have someone come to the door. They could walk in together and then he wouldn't be alone. He already knew what he would tell them when they asked him why he had come. He had thought a lot about the easiest thing for him to say.“I came to learn to improve myself.”That sounded good. They would know what that meant. He fingered the pencil in his jacket. He hadn't known what else to bring…

  The same sign was in the window of the storefront.“402 Main St. Adult Learning Center”.

  He took a deep breath and continued to walk slowly to the window. He looked inside as he passed…There was no one there. Was he too early? Would he be the only one to come? He walked to the corner and stopped. He knew he wasn't going home. He just needed a couple of more minutes to think about it. He turned round and walked faster now back to 402 Main St…. He turned the knob but the door wouldn't open.

A woman walked by.“Oh, they're closed today,”she said.“It's some kind of holiday or something. They're usually open every day though. Come back tomorrow.”He turned and looked at her, and then nodded.“Thank you,”he said.“Maybe I'll do that. I'll see how I feel tomorrow.”

  In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game that he called“Lexico”. However, he was not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from “Lexico”to“Alph”and then to“Criss Cross”.He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn't have any real commercial(商业性的)success.

  In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name-“Scrabble”.

  At first it didn't sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2250 sets and by 1952 it had only reached 8500 sets a year.

  Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy's department store in New York, Jack Strauss, happened to play“Scrabble”while he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy's should stock(储备) the game and make an effort(努力) to call the public's attention to it.

  As a result,“Scrabble”became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries.

The text is mainly about ________.

[  ]

A.Lexico
B.three men
C.a word game
D.Alfred Butts
