Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn’t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin was a person who liked playing the violin and was full of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.

One day Merlin received an invitation to a fancy dress ball (化装舞会). He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand  entrance at the party. He came up with an idea. He thought everyone would be attracted by him if he could skate into the room.

Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two, wheels under each shoe. These were the first rolled skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.

  On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing the violin. Everyone was amazed to see this. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. Suddenly he ran into a huge mirror hanging on the wall. It fell down and broke into pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's entrance for a long time.

The passage is mainly about_______.

A.a strange man          

B.an unusual party

   C.how roller skating started

   D.how people held parties in the 18th century

People thought Merlin was a dreamer because he________.

       A.often gave others surprises      B.was a gifted musician

       C.invented the roller skates D.was full of imagination

Merlin put wheels under his shoes to_________.

       A.impress the party guests  B.arrive at the party sooner

       C.test his invention            D.show his skill in walking on wheels

What is main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?

      A.The roller skates needed further improvement.

       B.The party guests took Merlin for a fool.

       C.Merlin succeeded beyond expectation.

       D.Merlin got himself into trouble.
