B
Bill Bowerman was a track coach He wanted to help athletes run faster． So he had learned how to make running shoes． He had also started a shoe company with a friend． It was
1971． Running shoes at the time were heavy． They had spikes（鞋钉）on the sole（鞋底）． The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners．
To make a lighter shoe， Bill tried the skins of fish． To make a better sole， he wanted to replace the spikes． Bill look through his wife Barbara's jewelry box． lie hoped to find a piece of jewelry with an interesting pattern． He would then copy the pattern onto the new soles． Nothing worked． Bill was stumped． Then， one Sunday morning， Barbara made Bill waffles（华人饼）for breakfast． Bill watched her cook． He studied the cross pattern on their old waffle iron．
Inspiration（灵感）hit．
The pattern on a waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for． The squares were fatter and wider than sharp spikes． The pattern would help the shoes grip（抓牢）any surface without tearing into it．
When Barbara left the house， Bill ran to his lab． He took the liquid chemicals that， when mixed， would harden into the sole of a shoe． He poured the mixture into the waffle iron and the Waffle Trainer was born．
Bill's company put the Waffle Trainer on the market in 1974． It was a huge hit． Maybe you've heard of that company called Nike． And today it's worth around S 100 billion．
It was the waffle iron that had changed the course of Bill's life ﹣and helped turn Nike into a well﹣known name． Today， the waffle iron is kept at Nike headquarters． It serves as a reminder that if we keep trying， we can find a solution to even the toughest problems． And those solutions can cone from unlikely places． Even the breakfast table．
24.What was wrong with the running shoes before the Wattle Trainer was made
A． They were easily worn out．
B． The spikes hurt runners' feet．
C． The spikes were sharp and heavy．
D． They were too expensive．
25. What does the underlined word "stumped" in paragraph 2 probably mean？
A． Inspired．
