四、完形填空

At that time, this purple dye was called Tyrian purple, and it was the preferred colour of emperors (皇帝). In 16th-century England, purple was 5 for the king’s family members. Ordinary(普通的) people were not 6 to wear the colour.
In 1856, William Perkin, an 18-year-old science student, noticed something strange while doing an experiment(实验). The chemicals(化学用品) he used to clean his instruments 7 with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple colour. William was surprised and wondered 8 it would be a perfect way to make purple. He did the experiment again. It really worked! This discovery(发现) 9 Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye. The dye was much 10 than sea snail dye. Thanks to Perkin, now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes.
