A

     Peter Huszcz once taught in an agricultural college. In the 1990s,he moved to Canada. Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. When the manager asked him to help out rolling meatballs in the kitchen,he soon learned how to do the job very well. But it was boring and Peter suggested that the manager should buy a meatball-making machine. When the manager told him there was no such thing as a meatball maker,Peter was quick to notice that something was missing in the market. Putting his engineering knowledge to good use,he quickly came up with a simple method — the Magic Meatball Maker.

     He was sure there was a market for his machine,but it took him ten years of hard work to find it. He had to take risks,but he believed in his idea,and he managed to persuade other people to believe in him too. A local manufacturer(制造商) offered to produce the first 1,000 units in return for

a share in the profits(收益) ,local shops offered to keep his meatball makers and a friend' s daughter helped him out with his first sales.

     But his lucky break came when he managed to persuade a TV shopping channel(頻道) to help sell the Magic Meatball Maker. The channel broadcast a program about how the invention worked in the studio kitchen. Within minutes,they had sold more than 4 ,000 units.

      This was just the start. Peter had been right. He had said his meatball maker would bring him great wealth,and it has: more than two million dollars so far and it's till selling to thousands of American housewives all across the USA.

Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant可知,他 之后做過洗碗工;由Putting his engineering knowledge ... the Magic Meatball Maker可知,隨后他成了一 位發(fā)明家;由第二、三、四段內(nèi)容可 知,他為了推銷肉丸機(jī)付出了很大的 辛苦,所以他還是一名商人。

24. C.推理判斷題。由第二段中的He Was sure there was a m漢rket for his machine …to believe in him too 和最 后一段內(nèi)容可知,Peter Huszcz堅(jiān)信 自己的肉丸機(jī)會(huì)受歡迎,為了推銷其 產(chǎn)品,他付出了艱辛的努力并最終取 得成功、故選C項(xiàng)。

They 55 another couple on that trip,and everyone had a great time together. Even after many years,they still 56 together from time to time.
