Even Intelligent People Can Fail1.The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is how often they failed.Turn on a light,take a photograph,watch TV,search 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 tarns.2.we have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison’s success in heating a thin line to white.hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey,US.He did mat 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 t0 light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan,even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he tamed it on,on September 4,1882.3.“Many of 1ife’s 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 no 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 1earn from it Mark Gumz,the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc,attributes some of the company’s successes in technology to understanding failure.His popular phrase is:“Y0n 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 succession 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 me repair shop Pioneering car maker Henry F0rd failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T car.6.Failure is harder to bear in today’s 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(Geffen’s company)and the Titanic(the ship that went down) was that the Titanic had better music Actually,it wasn’t.After four years of losses,Geffen had 80 many hits(成功的作品)he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic an to himself. Walt Disney was once so poor that()

A. he developed 3,000 theories
B. he couldn'tafford to buy a pair of shoes
C. he found himself an unsuccessfulman
D. they quitted
E. an innovation should work immediately
F. failure is the mother of success

Extract 1A stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet as perfect foil to an eclectic array of furniture. Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together. The prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat’s occupant. He is pictured in his living room which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining room by a high Medieval-styled archway where was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.Extract 2Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising. This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, or by fitting wood paneling over them.As wood paneling can be secured over almost anything — including old ceramic tiles and chipped walls — is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration. The paneling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.Extract 3Cooking takes second place in this charming room which; with its deep armchairs, is more of a sitting room than a kitchen, and the new Rayburn stove as a good Choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace. There are no fitted units or built-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farmhouse table in the foreground; and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display, What about the kitchen sink It’s hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery. Here there’s a second cooker and — in the best farmhouse tradition — a huge walk-in larder for all food storage. Why is the colour of the carpet described in Extract 1 a particular advantage?()

A. It livens up the colour in an otherwise dull room.
B. It provides a contrast to the furniture.
C. It blends in with the tones of the furniture.
D. It gives the room a classical style.
