By pressing the two pieces together, they would stick to each other. However, it was very hard to make these tiny hooks. They had to be strong enough to stick to the loops. They also needed to be 4 , so that the user could pull on them to get them off the loops. A．everywhere   B．set up   C． work hard   D．hard work   E. fix George used nylon fibers to make the hooks. After years of 5 , he was able to weave hundreds of tiny hooks and loops onto small pieces of cloth. He 6 the Velcro Company in 1952 for making these fasteners. In the late 1950s, a machine was created to mass-produce them. In the 1960s, NASA astronauts started to use these fasteners to 7 some devices on their spaceships.
