阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A Rob Kalin learned the secret to success while he was young. As a child, he liked playingwith a stuffed (填充) rabbit his mother had made. At that time, I knew he would become acraftsman(工匠) in the future, Kalins mother said. Kalins father was a carpenter and taught him early how to use his hands. In high school,Kalin was so interested in photography that he cut class to take photos 18 hours a day.Eventually, Kalin ended up at New York University. One night, his landlord asked him tobuild a website for his restaurant. I didnt know anything about websites, but I built the basic site by looking through books in four weeks, Kalin recalls. After working on a craft site that provided advice and a lot of hand-holding, Kalinrecognized that there was no market for their goods. He wrote a fan letter to Stewart Butterfield, the founder of Flickr, who had sold his highly popular photo-sharing website to Yahoo! Impressed by Kalins letter, he took a look at Kalins idea and invited him to San Francisco for a month in 2006. He taught Kalin how to build a website, and helped him borrow $615,000 from a bank. With the help of Stewart, Kalin was able to create etsy. com, an online craft fair that may be the largest market for handmade goods in the world. Last year, 350,000 woodworkers, andother craftsmen sold their one-of-a-kind goods on the four-year-old site. It sells everything fromhand-knitted T-shirts to wooden electric guitars. In an age of chain stores and malls, it seemstheres still a big market for the unique: custom-made (%lj) skirts and hand-painted tea sets.Today, Etsys staff has increased to 70 employees, and more than three million consumers in150 countries are buying goods on Etsy every year.41.
