五、阅读理解(主题:小魔方,大乐趣 词数:271 难度:★★★★ 时间:7 分钟)
Do you know the Rubik’s Cube(魔方)? It’s a fun toy that people all over the world love to play with! A man named Ernö Rubik in Hungary(匈牙利) created the first one in 1974. Now, over 50 years later, the Rubik’s Cube is still the best-selling toy ever!
Rubik’s first design included 27 smaller cubes. They formed six sides with six different colours. To solve the Rubik’s Cube, you must twist the cube so that each side shows only one colour. Sounds easy? It’s not! There are millions of ways to mix the colours, but there’s only one solution.
At first, Rubik named his new toy the Magic Cube. He started selling it at toy stores in Hungary. In 1980, a toy company changed its name to the Rubik’s Cube. After that, it quickly became a huge success around the world.
It took Rubik about a month to solve his own cube for the first time. But people wanted to solve it faster. In 1982, the first Rubik’s Cube World Championship (锦标赛) took place. 16-year-old Minh Thai won in 22.95 seconds. Over time, people got faster and faster. In 2015, Lucas Etter solved it in less than 5 seconds. In 2023, Max Park set a new record of just 3.13 seconds!
The Rubik’s Cube is more than just a toy. It’s now part of world culture. It appears in films, TV shows, and even the hands of world leaders. Jessica Fridrich, who wrote about ways to solve the Rubik’s Cube, had a message for the Rubik’s Cube. “Thank you for bringing joy to humans,” she said. “May you live forever!”
