Almst everybdy in America will spend a part f his r her life behind a shpping cart（购物手推车）. They will, in a lifetime, push the chrme-plated cntraptins many miles. But few will knw—r even think t ask—wh it was that invented them.
Sylvan N. Gldman invented the shpping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he wuld see shppers lugging（吃力地携带） grceries arund in baskets they had t carry.
One day Gldman suddenly had the idea f putting baskets n wheels. The wheeled baskets wuld make shpping much easier fr his custmers, and wuld help t attract mre business.
On June 4, 1937, Gldman’s first carts were ready fr use in his market. He was terribly excited n the mrning f that day as custmers began arriving. He culdn’t wait t see them using his inventin.
But Gldman was disappinted. Mst shppers gave the carts a lng lk, but hardly anybdy wuld give them a try.
After a while, Gldman decided t ask custmers why they weren’t using his carts. “Dn’t yu think this arm is strng enugh t carry a shpping basket?” ne shpper replied.
But Gldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts wuld be a great success if nly he culd persuade peple t give them a try. T this end, Gldman hired a grup f peple t push carts arund his market and pretend they were shpping! Seeing this, the real custmers gradually began cpying the phny（假冒的） custmers.
As Gldman had hped, the carts were sn attracting larger and larger numbers f custmers t his market. But nt nly did mre peple cme—thse wh came bught mre. With larger, easier-t-handle baskets, custmers uncnsciusly bught a greater number f items than befre.
Tday’s shpping carts are five times larger than Gldman’s riginal mdel. Perhaps that’s ne reasn Americans tday spend mre than five times as much mney n fd each year as they did befre 1937—befre the cming f the shpping cart.
