Bill Bowerman was a track coach. He wanted to help athletes run faster. So he had learnt how to make running shoes. He had also started a shoe company with a friend. It was 1971. Running shoes at the time were heavy. They had spikes(鞋钉) on the sole(鞋底) The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners.
To make a lighter shoe, Bill tried the skins of fish. To make a better sole, he wanted to replace the spikes. Bill dug through his wife Barbara's jewelry box. He hoped to find a piece of jewelry with an interesting pattern. He would then copy the pattern onto the new soles. Nothing worked. Bill was defeated.
Then, one Sunday morning, Barbara made Bill waffles (华夫饼) for breakfast. Bill watched her cook.
He studied the criss-cross pattern on a waffle iron.
Inspiration struck. The pattern on the waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for. The squares were flatter and wider than sharp spikes. The pattern would help the shoes hold any surface without tearing it up.
When Barbara left the house, Bill ran to his lab. He took the liquid chemicals that, when mixed, would harden into the sole of a shoe. He poured the mixture into the waffle iron—and the Waffle Trainer was born.
Bill's company put the Waffle Trainer on market in 1974. It was a huge hit. Maybe you’ve heard of that company—it's called Nike. And today it's worth around $200 billion.
It was the waffle iron that had changed the course of Bill's life—and helped turn Nike into a well-known name. Today, the waffle iron is kept at Nike headquarters. It serves as a reminder that if we keep trying, we can find a solution to even the most difficult problems. And those solutions can come from unlikely places, even the breakfast table.
1.What shortcomings did the old-style running shoes have
A.They were hard to wear. B.They were too large.
C.They were impractical. D.They were easy to break.
2.Where did Bill get the inspiration to invent the famous Waffle Trainer
A.From the skins of the fish. B.From his wife's jewelry.
C.From the colour of the iron. D.From his wife's cooking.
3.What can we learn from Bill's success
A.A cheering wife is the joy of life. B.Two heads are better than one.
C.Where there's a will, there's a way. D.A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Waffles and Nike B.Inspiration and Invention
C.A Great Inventor D.A Well-Known Company

四、答案:
Should We Have Breakfast in the Classroom
Dear editor,
Last week, our class held a discussion about whether we should have breakfast in the classroom.
Some students think that when they are having breakfast in the classroom, they can study or read at the same time, which can save their time and is beneficial to their studies. And they can talk with their classmates while eating.
While others think that it is bad for our health to have breakfast in the classroom. Besides, some kinds of food smell unpleasant.
In my view, it is not good for us to have breakfast in the classroom. We should get up earlier and have breakfast at home.
Yours,
Li Hua
