In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He

always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game which he called‘Lexico’. However, he was

not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to i

t and, in time, changed its name from ‘Lexico’to

‘Alph’ and then to ‘Criss Cross’.He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn't have any real commercial

（商业性的）

success. In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game.

The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new

name

—

'Scrabble'. At first, it didn't sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500

sets a year. Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy's department store in New York,Jack Strauss, happened to play

Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson,a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes

shopping with her.‘Most people don't seem to mind Allan,’says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonde

rful. 'He's my fourth

child,'she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact

Allan is a dog. Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to

rules laid down by the government, which also provides

（提供）

a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs

money. People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some

people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the

government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is

expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance

（保险）

for their dog. In Sweden dog owners must

pay for any damage

（

损坏）

their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on

the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has

been killed in the accident.

59. Birgitta pays taxes for Allan because .

A. he is her dog B. he is her child C. he follows her everywhere D. he often falls ill
