Last year, they broke the Guinness World Record for the farthest paper plane flight (飞行). They used a piece of A4 paper to make their plane and threw it for an amazing distance (距离) of 98.43 metres! The team had six members, from middle school students to university students. They worked like a real engineering group, and everyone had their own tasks. For example, Yang Shi’an led the project, Liu Liwen designed and threw the plane, and Tang Shuai folded the plane. “Throwing a paper plane is fun, but achieving this distance is not easy,” said Liu Liwen. “It’s not just about throwing the plane hard. You need special paper, clever folds, and the right way to throw.” Tang Shuai said he became interested in paper planes because his sister wanted one. One day, he saw a video about them online. Surprisingly, the paper plane in it flew more than 20 metres! He hoped to make one just like it. Later, he joined an online group for paper plane fans. That was how the team got started. From 2023 to 2025, the six members worked on a better paper plane. They never felt down or gave up even though they failed many times. They kept improving their paper planes until they succeeded. 1. Yang Shi’an and his team broke the record for the ________ paper plane flight. 2. The team used ________ to make their record-breaking paper plane. 3. In the team, Liu Liwen’s task was to ________. 4. Tang Shuai became interested in paper planes because ________. 5. According to the passage, the team never gave up and kept improving paper planes to ________. B 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。 It’s common to see shopping carts in supermarkets today. They are widely used, but do you know who invented them? The answer is Sylvan Goldman from the USA. Goldman had several supermarkets and noticed that shopping wasn’t always easy. Many shoppers stopped shopping when their baskets became too full or heavy. This problem troubled him, and he wanted to find a solution. One evening in 1936, while working late in his office, he came up with a creative idea that changed the way people shopped. He invented the shopping cart. The first one was simple: a folding chair with two baskets. Then he changed the legs of the chair for wheels (轮子), making it move around. In the summer of 1937, Goldman introduced shopping carts to his supermarkets. But to his surprise, none of the shoppers wanted to use them. Women compared them to baby carriages (婴儿车), while men thought they weren’t manly. Quick-thinking Goldman then hired (雇用) men and women of different ages to push (推) the shopping carts around his stores and act like they were shopping. This plan worked! Soon, everyone wanted to use one. Later, Goldman even designed a cart with a child seat, making it much easier for shoppers with young children. So, the next time you walk into a store and get a shopping cart, take a moment to thank Sylvan Goldman and give him a thumbs-up (竖起大拇指)! 6. Sylvan Goldman, an American, is the person who ________. 7. Goldman invented the shopping cart because shoppers felt trouble with ________. 8. The first shopping cart was made of ________ with two baskets. 9. At first, ________ were not willing to use shopping carts in Goldman’s supermarkets. 10.
