  Joy Mangano was 33 and divorced(离婚), had three kids under age 7, and was hardly keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra weekend hours as a waitress.

  “Sometimes I would lie in bed and think. I don’t know how I’m going to pay the bills,” Mangano said.

  But she had a gift for seeing the obvious. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water and wringing(拧)out a mop.” Mangano says. “So, I thought: There’s going to be a better way.”

  How about a “self wringing” mop? She designed a special tool that could be twisted(转动)in two directions while not making hands wet and dirty. She set out to sell it, first only a few at flea markets(跳蚤市场).

  Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes(泡在电视机前的人)buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they’d let her do the on-camera demonstration.

  QVC took a chance on her. “I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”

  Today she’s the president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of the Home Shopping Network. Talking about her household inventions is “as natural for me as it is for parents to talk about their children”.

  Today one of her favorite products is Huggable Hangers. The thin, space-saving inventions are the most successful gadget(器具)ever sold on HSN, with 100 million hanging out there in closets across the country. Of course, you couldn’t possibly sell hangers on TV.

(1)What would be the best title for the passage?

[  ]

A.There is going to be a better way

B.A woman invented the self-wringing mop

C.An ordinary woman sells her invention on TV

D.Women can all achieve remarkable success

(2)What does the underlined sentence “the phones went crazy” (in Paragraph 6) mean?

[  ]

A.Many people made calls to say they were mad.

B.There were lots of calls to order the new mop.

C.Many people were mad to see me on TV.

D.The telephone broke down at my home.

(3)Which is the correct order of the following events?

a.Mangano invented the most popular Huggable Hangers.

b.Mangano was tired of mopping the floor.

c.Mangano designed a self-wringing mop.

d.Mangano was ever worried about how to pay the bills.

e.Mangano did an on-camera demonstration to sell her mops.

[  ]

A.a-b-c-d-e
B.b-d-c-e-a
C.d-b-c-e-a
D.e-a-c-d-b

(4)What conclusion can be made from the story?

[  ]

A.Women can invent household tools because they often do housework.

B.Mangano treated her household inventions as she treated her children.

C.Mangano used to lie in bed and think of how to invent household tools.

D.One can make life better through work though it is sometimes hard.
