The Sticky Note
题材:发明与需要 难度:★★★ 建议用时:6分钟
In 1968, an American scientist named Spencer Silver was trying to make a strong glue for his company. Unluckily, the glue he made was very weak. It could stick to things, but it was easy to pull off. Nobody wanted it, and the glue was put away for years.
One day, another scientist, Art Fry, was singing in church. He used small pieces of paper to mark the pages of his songbook, but they kept falling out. Suddenly he thought of Silver's weak glue. If he put it on a piece of paper, the paper would stay on the page, and he could still pull it off and use it again.
Fry tried it, and it worked. In 1980, the company began to sell the little notes. People called them "sticky notes", and they soon became popular all over the world.
"It didn't happen by accident," Fry said. "A need is behind every invention." Silver's glue was not a failure. It was just waiting for the right need.
(____) 1. What was the problem with the glue that Spencer Silver made?
A. It cost too much money. B. It was too weak to stay on things.
C. It was bad for people's health. D. It could not be used on paper.
(____) 2. What made Art Fry think of using Silver's glue?
A. He wanted to help Silver sell his glue. B. His paper markers kept falling out.
C. The company asked him to make a new product. D. He read about the glue in a science book.
(____) 3. What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The invention of the sticky note. B. Silver's weak glue.
C. Art Fry's singing. D. The company.
