Butts.He always had an interest in word games and so,to fillhis time,he planned a game which he called“Lexico”.However,he was not completelysatisfied with the game,so he made a number of changes to it and,in time,changedits name from“Lexico”to“Alph”and then to“Criss Cross.He wanted to makesome money from his new game but he didnt have any real commercial(商业性的)success.In 1939,Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest inthe new game.The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it wasoffered for sale in the United States under its new name“Scrabble”.At first,it didnt sell very well.In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets andby 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year.Then,in 1952 the manager of Macys department store in New York,Jack Strauss,happened to play“Scrabble”whilehe was on holiday.He thought it was a wonderful game and,when he went back to workafter his holiday,he insisted that Macys should stock(储备)the game and makean effort(努力)to call the publics attention to it.As a result,“scrabble”became a big success in the United States and it soon spreadto Australia and then to other English-speaking countries.55.The text is

secretary.He moves around buying his food,paying his health bills and his taxes,but in factAllan is a dog.Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden,a country where everyone is expected to lead anorderly 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 arent surprised to
