Turn on a light, take a photograph, watch TV, search

17、 the Web, jet across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a cellphone (手机). The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze (错综复杂) of wrong turns.2 We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edisons success in heating a thin line to white-h

18、ot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey, US. He did that on October 22, 1879, and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight (点亮着的) in an airless space for 45 hours. Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan, even though onl

19、y one of the six power plants in his design worked when he turned it on, on September 4, 1882.3 “Many of lifes failures,“ the supreme innovator said, “are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.“ Before that magical moment in October 1879, Edison had worked out n

20、o fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light, but in only two cases did his experiments work.4 No one likes failure, but the smart innovators learn from it. Mark Gumz, the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc, attributes some of the companys successes in technology to understanding failu

21、re. His popular phrase is: “You only fail when you quit.“5 Over two centuries, the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence. That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing. Walt Disney, the founder of Disneyland, was so broke after a su

22、ccession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the US$1.50 to get his shoes from the repair shop. Pioneering car maker Henry Ford failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T car.6 Failure is harder to bear

23、in todays open, accelerated world. Hardly any innovation works the first time. But an impatient society and the media want instant success. When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time, a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records (Geffens company)

24、and the Titanic (the ship that went down) was that the Titanic had better music. Actually, it wasnt. After four years of losses, Geffen had so many hits (成功的作品) he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself.（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 2_A. Importance of learning from failureB.

28、torm that hit the country on April 21 Hundreds more are missing or feared dead.The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhaka as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country. The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the

30、of the rescue work. “No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived. “ Ferries in Bangladesh dont always keep passenger lists, making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board. Besides the ferry accidents, at least 40 people were killed a

31、nd 400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats.Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh, as are boating accidents. Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people. Officials blame these river accidents on

32、 a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions. Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh. It is a country covered by about 230 rivers. Some 20,000 ferries use the nations waterways(水路)every year. And many of them are dangerously over

Folding them into small planes to see whose would fly the furthest. Having nothing better to do, I joined in and won five, and then took the opportunity to

37、escape with my profit. Despite the evil-looking clouds, I had to get out for a while.I headed for a shop on the other side of the street. Unlike the others, it didnt have a sign shouting its name and business, and instead of the usual impersonal modem lighting, there was an appealing glow inside. St

38、rangely nothing was displayed in the window. Not put off by this, I went inside.It took my breath away. I didnt know where to look, where to start. On one wall there hung three hand-stitched American quilts that were in such wonderful condition they might have been newly-made. I came across tin toys

39、 and antique furniture, and on the wall in front of me, a 1957 Stratocaster guitar, also in excellent condition. A. card pushed between the strings said $ 50. I ran my hand along a long shelf of records, reading their titles. And there was more.“Can I help you?“ She startled me. I hadnt even seen th

But though it was uncomfortable.

41、I was fascinated by the experience of her looking straight into me, and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger, nor strange, to her.Besides amusement her expression showed sympathy.

I spoke at last. “I was just looking really“, I said, though secretly wondering how much of the stuff I could cram into the bus.The woman turned away and went at once towards a back room, indicating that I should follow her. But it in no

43、way lived up to the first room. The light made me feel peculiar, too. It came from an oil lamp that was hung from the centre of the ceiling and created huge shadows over everything. There were no rare electric guitars, no old necklaces, no hand-painted boxes with delicate flowers. It was also obviou

44、s that it must have taken years, decades, to collect so much rubbish, so many old documents arid papers.I noticed some old books, whose gold lettering had faded, making their titles impossible to read. “They look interesting“, I said, with some hesitation. “To be able to understand that kind of writ

45、ing you must first have had a similar experience“, she said clearly. She noted the confused look on my face, but didnt add anything.She reached up for a small book which she handed to me. “This is the best book I can give you at the moment“, she laughed. “If you use it. “ I opened the book to find i

46、t full, or rather empty, with blank white pages, but paid her the few dollars she asked for it, becoming embarrassed when I realised the notes were still folded into little paper planes.
