B
XBOX 360 Kinetic. RoboSapien. Wii Party. These are just a few of the modern toys sold in recent years. But some of the most popular toys are actually quite old.
Games have been around for thousands of years. In 4000 BC, Babylonians (巴比伦人) played a board game that was similar to chess. Yo - yos made of stone were first used in ancient Greece around 1000 BC. And kites appeared in China around the same time.
Another famous game is Scrabble (拼字游戏). It was invented by an architect in the 1930s, but it didn't get popular until 1953. And since then, more than 100 million sets have been sold worldwide.
As you can imagine, toys and games are a multi - billion - dollar business. Mr. Potato Head, the first toy advertised on TV, got more than 4 million in its first year. Play - Doh made its inventor Joseph McVicker a millionaire by his 27th birthday, while Mattel sells 1.5 million Barbie dolls each week (That's two dolls each second!).
Some toys go out of fashion, but then become popular again, such as Rubik's Cube (魔方). Research says parents are increasingly choosing to buy toys they remember from their own childhood.
These days, toys are not just for fun. RoboSapien is a remote - controlled robot that appeared in 2004. He can walk, turn around and do other poses, and was designed by Mark Tilden, who once created robots for NASA space missions (任务). He expected the toy to be used mostly by schools and scientists, but almost 2 million Robosapiens have been sold worldwide since it was produced as a toy.
