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 which 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 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 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 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 stockthe game and make an effortto 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. 55. The text is mainly about .

Between 1939 and 1948. C Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson,a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around heroffice at work and goes shopping with her.`Most people don't seem to mind Allan,’saysBirgitta, who thinks he is wonderful. 'He's my fourth child,'she says. She may think of himand treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in factAllan is a dog. Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected tolead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also providesa high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money. People inSweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet moretaxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right tokeep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medicaltreatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so ownersoften decide to pay health and even life insurance for their dog. In Sweden dogowners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club officialexplains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you,as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killedin the accident.
