The zipper, a common invention, has a long and interesting history. In 1893, Whitcomb Judson invented a “clasp locker” to fasten shoes. It was similar to today’s zipper but not very practical. Later, a Swedish-American engineer named Gideon Sundback improved the design. In 1913, he created the modern zipper with interlocking teeth that worked smoothly. At first, people were slow to accept the zipper. They were used to buttons and hooks. But when the zipper was used in clothing for World War I soldiers, people saw its value. It was faster and easier to use than buttons. After the war, the zipper became popular in everyday clothing. The zipper not only changed the fashion industry but also had a great impact on other fields. It is now used in bags, tents, and even spacecraft. The invention of the zipper shows that a small idea can grow into something that affects millions of people. Today, we can see zippers everywhere. They remind us that great inventions often start from simple needs. 1. Who invented the modern zipper? A. Whitcomb Judson. B. A Swedish-American engineer. C. A soldier from World War I. D. A fashion designer. 2. Why were people slow to accept the zipper at first? A. Because it was too expensive. B. Because they preferred buttons and hooks. C. Because it was hard to produce. D. Because it didn’t work well. 3. When did the zipper become popular? A. Before 1893. B. During World War I. C. After World War I. D. In the 21st century. 4. What can we learn from the story of the zipper? A. Great inventions always come from famous scientists. B. A small idea can become a great invention. C. Zippers are only used in clothing. D. Inventions should be complex to be successful. 5. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The life story of Gideon Sundback. B. The history and impact of the zipper. C. The importance of buttons in the past. D. How zippers are made in factories.
