Question

【题目】Have you ever tasted your favorite Kool-Aid on a hot summer day? It tastes like the best thing in the world. Believe it or not. this kind of drink was invented by a little boy.

Edwin Perkins was a child in Nebraska. He liked to mix things together in the kitchen to see how they would taste. He loved to study chemistry and tried to invent things. His father owned a little store in his hometown. This was during the time that Jell-O was first introduced to the public. Edwin really liked the new product.

When he was about eleven years old, he got a book that would show him how to mix things together. He was very interested in how things worked or tasted once two or more products were mixed. When he was a little older, he asked for a kit(装备)that would give him ideas and instruction on becoming a manufacturer(制造商), which is someone who makes things with their hands or machines. Perkins developed many different products. When he was 25 years old, he had invented enough products that he set up his own mail order business, called Perkins Products, to sell his household goods to the public.
