Lots of burrs(带刺的小果实) stuck to his trousers and he found it hard to get them off. What made the burrs stick so well? When George got home, he looked at them carefully. He found that each burr had many tiny hooks(挂钩). These hooks could hold onto anything, such as clothes, animals, or even human hair. “Nature is a great engineer!” he thought. “Maybe I can make a new fastener (紧固件) with tiny hooks.” George decided to weave(编织) tiny hooks on one piece of cloth. By pressing the two pieces together, they would stick to each other. However, it was very hard to make these tiny books. They had to be strong enough to stick to each other. They also needed to be practical, so that the user could pull on them to get them off the books. George used nylon fibers(尼龙纤维) to make the hooks. After years of hard work, he was able to weave hundreds of tiny hooks onto small pieces of cloth. He set up the Velcro Company in 1952 for making these fasteners. In the 1960s, Americans started to use these fasteners on their spaceships. The fasteners soon became popular and people began calling them Velcro. Today, you can find Velcro on your schoolbag, shoes, and almost everywhere else! 9. What did George think of nature? A. It is a hero. B. It is an artist. . C. It is an engineer. D.

Velcro is only used in space technology. D. Velcro was created because burrs stuck to clothes.
