　　One day Bill went to eat at a restaurant in London. Suddenly a young woman sat down beside him. Bill could not think what she wanted. She didn't look very happy. Bill asked her what was wrong. “The problem is …,” she began. But then she stopped. She did not find it easy to tell Bill about it, it seemed.

　　“My husband and I wanted to meet here for lunch at 12,” she said at last, “but he hasn't come.”

　　“Why not go home now?”

　　“No, I can't,” said the woman. “And I've had lunch now and I can't pay for the bill, because I haven't got any money with me.”

　　“Never mind. I'll pay the bill for you. You can pay me back later,” Bill said.

　　“If you give me your address, I'll send you the money as soon as I get home.” With these words, she left the restaurant.

　　A few weeks later, when Bill was having lunch at another restaurant, he suddenly heard a familiar (熟悉的) voice, “Excuse me. May I just sit here for a moment?”

Look at the pictures below. Do you know why these things were developed or invented

　　A few years ago, Masaru Ibuka, the head of Sony, was at a company planning meeting. Suddenly he had an idea. He stopped the meeting and asked everyone what would happen if Sony took away the recording function(录音功能) and speakers and sold headphones with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was silly(愚蠢的). Still, Ibuka kept his idea and worked at it. The result, of course, turned out to be the successful Sony Walkman.

　　Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making cakes for his son, he asked himself what would happen if he poured rubber into his cake iron(模具). Later, he tried it and the result looked something like the bottom(底) of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took this idea to several shoe companies, he was laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather disappointed, Bowerman went on to form his own company, making NIKE sports shoes.

　　We know today, of course, that each of these ideas caused a successful thing that has changed the way many of us live. The best questions are usually open-ended and are often “silly”. Children aren't afraid to ask such questions, but adults(成年人) usually are. Think how different the world might be if people never asked “silly” questions!

C．with speakers and headphones, but no recording function

D．with recording function and speakers, but no headphones

3．Bill Bowerman got his idea from ________.

[　　]

[　　]

A．they thought his idea was silly

D．it was difficult to pour rubber into the cake iron

5．From the passage we know ________.

[　　]

A．it's easy to make one's idea come true

B．adults are frustrated to ask open-ended questions

C．sometimes “silly” questions may cause a successful invention

D．the more personal questions we ask, the more inventions there will be
