Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(購(gòu)物手推車). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.

Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地?cái)y帶) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.

One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.

On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.

But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.

After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.

But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的) customers.

As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.

Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.

81. What do the underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to?(No more than 3 words)

82. What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention? (No more than 8 words)

83. Why was Goldman disappointed at first? (No more than 8 words)

84. Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market? (No more than 10 words)

It was 4 o'clock in the morning when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just  36 in with severe burns on his face,neck and arms.We have called for a(n)  37  and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college,so we knew immediately this was  38 
The doctor described the  39 ,which caused the burns.At 6 am,our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment.When they   40  the charcoal(木炭),it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol).The flames  41 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
  42 ,one of the boys was quick-minded,grasped my son,and  43 him on the grass.While it saved his life,it was not in  44  to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(傷疤).
After he  45 from the treatments,the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months  46 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.So,he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister,who had a 10-inch, very 47__ scar on her arm,“Nancy,if you ignore the scar,other people will ignore it.It does not mean they will not  48 it,but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.’’
I  49 this wisdom on to my son.He took my advice to 50 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period,he decided that the scars did not  51 , sohe made the  52 to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe  53 people to keep away from us.And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked different,or dressed differently,people would like us better. 
But you see,people will only judge you by your looks,or your clothes,if you are judging yourself by these same  54 standards.Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value  55 yourself,and your beauty will shine through.

Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of   31   other people’s cars as well. It was pretty   32  outside and I had no plans to   33   to be in the bright sun. She   34   wanted to give lemonade(檸檬汽水)to passersby for free. I had seen little kids  35   and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free.
