My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing chores to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and picking up the things the machine ____1____ to take in.
Twenty years later, I was doing chores at home with my wife and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a new one. I had always hated the way the machine worked and I decided to make a vacuum cleaner without ____2____.
Easier said than done, of course. I didn’t ____3____ that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5, 127 different prototypes (设计原型).

These were hard times, but each failure brought me closer to ____4____ the problem.
However, at first I ____5____ thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get a license for my technology. The reality was very different, though.

The unfairness gave me the ____7____ to keep going, but soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines ____8____ mine.

Within two years, my invention—the Dyson vacuum cleaner—became a success in Britain.
