三. 篇章結構 (5%)        When it comes to all things Danish, modern furniture, beer and pastries stand out, but arguably thecountry’s most famous export are tiny toy bricks. In 2016 alone, over 75 billion of the colorful plastic brickswere sold, and the 85-year-old company behind them reigns as one of the world’s most iconic toymanufacturers. _21_ The LEGO story started in a Danish woodworking shop in the days before electricity.At the time, Billund was an obscure village, and Ole Kirk Christiansen was just a simple carpenter withambition. As a young man, Christiansen turned his love of whittling and playing with wood into a businessand, in 1916, he opened his own shop. _22_ But in 1924, just as he was looking to expand his successfulbusiness, his sons accidentally set a pile of wood chips in the shop on fire. The flames it produceddestroyed the entire building—and the family’s home.      Others might have given up with a total loss, but Christiansen saw the fire as an excuse to simply builda larger workshop. _23_ In 1929, the American stock market crash plunged the world into depression, andChristiansen’s wife died in 1932. Bowed by personal and financial disaster, Christiansen laid off much ofhis staff and struggled to make ends meet._24_ Since times were so hard, Christiansen made the harddecision to use his wood to create inexpensive goods that might actually sell. Among them were cheaptoys. The decision didn’t pay off—at first. Christiansen actually slid into bankruptcy but refused to stopmaking toys when his siblings tried to make it a condition of a bailout loan. _25_ He even renamed thecompany to reflect its new direction: leg godt, or “play well,” became LEGO.
(A) Little did he know that those tragedies would lay the foundation for one of the business’s greatcomeback stories.
(B) Tragedy continued to strike, however.
(C) But his love of toys pushed the company ahead, even when it limped.
(D) But if it weren’t for a series of fires—and an ingenious woodworker—LEGOS may never have been built.
(E) At first, Christiansen’s shop produced furniture like ladders, stools, and ironing boards.
