They will, in a lifetime, push the shopping carts many miles, but few will knowor even think to askwho 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 groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. To create the first shopping cart, Goldman used folding chairs. He out one basket on the seat, and he raised the chair by putting wheels under the legs. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldmans first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldnt wait to see them using his invention. However, 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 werent using his carts.Dont you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket? one shopper replied.Goldman wasnt 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 customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. Not only did more people comethose who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Todays shopping carts are five times larger than Goldmans original model. Perhaps thats one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937before the coming of the shopping cart.（1）Who invented the shopping carts?A . Some shoppers.B . A supermarket assistant.C . The phony customers.D . An American supermarket owner.（2）Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market?A . Because he wanted to sell more shopping carts.B . Because he needed more customers to buy groceries.C . Because he wanted people to use the shopping carts.D . Because he hoped to help shoppers carry their groceries.（3）The right order of the following is _.a. Many shoppers began to use the shopping carts.b. Goldman invented the shopping carts.c. Goldman paid some people for using the shopping carts.d. Few shoppers would like to use the shopping carts.A . b-d-c-aB . b-a-d-cC . a-d-c-bD .
