Why do people invent things? Some say “necessity is the mother of invention.” In other words, if something is needed, then it will be invented. However, others believe that new things are invented when people already have many other things in their lives, and therefore have the time to think up new things. Sometimes, these inventions might not seem so practical or useful. Several inventions in particular can only be described as impractical and even crazy.
For example, you may not need a floating umbrella; however, it has already been invented. It uses a special gas to float an umbrella above a person, who is attached to the floating umbrella with straps (帶子). Though this invention never became popular, the inventor has received a patent for his invention, which means that he is the only person allowed to make or sell this crazy product.
What’s more, have you ever heard of a cheese-flavored cigarette? Believe it or not, it was invented. This cigarette had several small bits of cheese in the filter (濾嘴), which was supposed to give smokers a taste of cheese when they smoked. Unsurprisingly, this invention never really caught on.
Even though many of these inventions seem to have no practical use, inventors continue to invent crazy new products. Perhaps these crazy inventions are really only useful in one way—they can make us laugh.
( ) 1. Which of the following is the best title for this article?
(A) Useful Products (B) Crazy Inventions
(C) Brilliant Inventors (D) Everyday Needs
( ) 2. According to the article, some crazy things are created ________.
(A) when people go crazy
(B) when people are bored
(C) when people have time to think up something new
(D) when people sleep and dream about new inventions
( ) 3. According to the article, the floating umbrella ________.
(A) can be made by anyone (B) is a magic trick
(C) is very cheap (D) is not a popular invention
( ) 4. What does the phrase “catch on” in the third paragraph most likely mean?
(A) To become popular. (B) To buy a lot of cheese.
(C) To quit smoking. (D) To become an inventor.
( ) 5. According to this article, what can these crazy inventions do?
(A) They make people famous. (B) They make people laugh.
(C) They make people rich. (D) They make people popular.
