阅读理解 Brothers Ayaan and Mickey Naqvi, who live in Shelton, Connecticut, were decorating their family Christmas tree last year when one of their favorite ornaments (装饰品) was destroyed. While the ornament was beyond repair, from its broken pieces sprang a bright idea: What if there was a better way to hang ornaments so they'd be truly secure? From that, the Ornament Anchor (装饰锚) was born. Using a special system, Ayaan created the model and presented it for a school project. The reception (反响) was overwhelmingly favorable-so favorable in fact, the boys quickly turned their invention into a potential money-making product. This wasn't the boys' first commercial invention: A previous invention landed the pair and their family on a TV programme Shark Tank. While they didn't cut a deal, it was a true learning experience. From $1, 000 in sales in six hours at a local Christmas trade show, the Ornament Anchor went on to be displayed on Good Morning America. In one year, the brothers' invention has brought in more than $250, 000. After their success, Ayaan and Mickey are determined to pay their good fortune forward by contributing 10% of their profits to local animal shelters. "Ever since I was super young, I've had a fascination with all of life's creatures, " Ayaan explained. "My goal is to help as many animals in need as I can. " The boys admit that starting a new business in 2020 had its challenges. While they are enjoying their success, adjusting to distance learning due to the coronavirus lockdown isn't easy. Through the difficult times, they say they've just tried to take things one step at a time and keep a positive attitude because that-along with the love and support of their family-are what keeps them anchored (稳定). （1） What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
