Innovation needs failure!
Museum of Failure is a collection of failed products and services from around the world. The majority of all innovation projects fail and the museum showcases these failures to provide visitors a fascinating learning experience. The museum aims to stimulate productive discussion about failure and inspire us to take meaningful risks. Every item provides unique insight into the risky business of innovation.
The museum is organized by Dr. Samuel West, licensed psychologist, PhD in Organizational Psychology. The following are two examples of those products.(for more info, pls click HERE)
New Coke The competition between Coca - Cola and Pepsi became more intense in 1975 with“The Pepsi Challenge”, where consumers in blind taste tests preferred Pepsi over Coca - Cola. Coca - Cola responded by doing extensive market research that confirmed that consumers preferred a sweeter version of the original recipe. Coca - Cola changed its classic recipe in 1985 and launched what was called New Coke. Coca - Cola consumers were furious that the recipe had been changed. The original formula was rapidly re - introduced and rebranded as Coca - Cola Classic.
Back to the failure The DeLorean, with its strange gull - wing doors, was one of the most spectacular innovation failures in history. The first prototype (雏形) was built in 1976, when there were not many competitors for this type of futuristic car. The DeLorean was marketed as a luxury sports car, but with a severely under-powered engine the car was painfully slow. It was also difficult to keep clean and the stainless steel panel (钣金) required constant polishing. The design was unusual and special, but otherwise the car was a disaster-- - a nightmare on wheels. The DeLorean Motor Company went bankrupt, but the car will always be remembered as the famous time machine from the movie series Back to the Future.
21. What is the theme of Museum of Failure
A. Change is the parent of success.
B. It's no use challenging traditions.
C. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
22. What do these two products have in common
A. They were inaccessible to ordinary consumers.
B. They were launched with wrong market strategies.
C. They were too advanced for the markets back then.
D. They had issues that led to their failure despite initial innovation.
23. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A science fiction. B. A travel brochure.
C. A museum website. D. A movie application.

In all the time I' ve spent in China, I' ve had my share of emotional crises. I can't remember which one it was in particular, but I do remember how my adopted“aunt” Li once took care of me, tucking me up(掖好被角) in an armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup of green tea, peeling and cutting fruit for me, chatting about unrelated matters as she prepared one of her wonderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn't show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but through food and over-concern.
It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection. At first I found it brusque and bossy:“Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!” But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug.
Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok(炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang(酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck's tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity.
Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human.
24. Why did the writer mention her mental distress/ emotional breakdown at the beginning of the text
A. To compare the difference in two cultures.
B. To introduce how Chinese express their love.
C. To highlight how fragile the writer used to be.
D. To remind readers of the writer's homesickness.
25. Which of following is closest in meaning to the underlined word“brusque”
A. Abrupt and impolite. B. Simple and envious.
C. Brave and direct. D. Demanding and abusive.
26. How did the writer develop her writing in paragraph 3
A. By making comparison. B. By offering more examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By classifying cooking methods.
27. What message did the author intend to convey through the text
A. Every region has its own specialty.
B. Food is culture, and culture is food.
C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
C
A group of Chinese scientists have developed a kind of micro-robot powered by ion (离子) exchanges to remove micro-plastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) from water, according to Jinan University, one of its developers.
The robot is 20 to 100 microns in diameter, thinner than a human hair. It has an innovated means of obtaining energy and can work without additional energy input.
The research, published in the journal Science Advances, states that MNP pollution in non-marine waters poses a great threat to the global ecosystem. However, existing strategies often fail to remove the ultra-small plastic particles thoroughly. Seeking a better solution, scientists designed the micro-robots to remove MNPs from water, taking their inspiration from floor-sweeping robots. “Floor-sweeping robots can work autonomously on a planned route and sweep the garbage near them, so we thought there could be a similar kind of robot to clean garbage in the water,” said Wang Jizhuang, one of the leading researchers.
The self-propelled(自动推进) robots can interact with surrounding particulates during their movements, accomplishing the dynamic removal of MNPs in their path. Meanwhile, the absorption of plastics in the water produces a flow around the robots, thus pushing them to move autonomously without other energy input. They can also be simply collected and controlled precisely through a programmable magnetic field, according to Wang.
In their research, the robots were confirmed to show a removal efficiency of more than 90 percent during 100 continuous missions to remove MNPs with various compositions, sizes and shapes in the water. It is estimated that every liter of sewage only needs about 5 million micro-robots to clean up the MNPs in the water, which is very easy to achieve in practice.
The group has set further research goals, such as finding ways for the newly-developed robots to collect MNPs and degrade them at the same time. It is hoped that the development of the self-propelled robots, with the advantages of affordable cost and minimal secondary pollution, will make them suitable for industrial applications, providing an appealing strategy for the removal of the ultras-mall plastic particles on a large scale.
28. What is the micro-robot able to do
A. To clean waste water. B. To exchange plastic particles.
C. To generate energy. D. To degrade MNPs.
29. What inspired Wang to invent this micro-robot
A. Existing strategies. B. Floor-mo pping robots.
C. Pollution in waters. D. Threat to the ecosystem.
30. Which of the following is NOT a drive force for the micro-robot
A. A flow produced when absorbing plastics.
B. Interaction with particulates around it.
C. A programmable magnetic field.
D. The dynamic removal of MNP.
31. Which factor makes the micro-robot suitable for industrial applications
A. Secondary pollution. B. A minimal size.
C. Low cost. D. High efficiency.
D
New research suggests young children don't seek help in school, even when they need it. Our research suggests that children begin to connect asking for help with looking incompetent in front of others. Their concern about reputation may have significant consequences, particularly when it comes to education. If they are afraid to ask for help because their classmates are watching, learning will suffer.
To learn more about how children think about reputation, we applied a classic technique from developmental psychology. We crafted simple stories and then asked children questions about these scenarios(设想) to allow kids to showcase their thinking.
Across several studies, we asked 576 children, ages four to nine, to predict the behavior of two kids in a story. One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others. In one study, we told children that both kids did poorly on a test. We then asked which of these characters would be more likely to raise their hand in front of their class to ask the teacher for help.
The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two kids as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance. They were specifically thinking about how the characters would act in front of peers. They could still imagine situations in which the kid who wanted to seem smart would seek help: when assistance could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.
Given our findings, it seems quite possible that when children themselves are the ones struggling, they, too, might avoid seeking out help if they are concerned about reputation. If so, this reluctance to seek help when others are present could seriously slow academic progress.
How can we help children overcome these barriers Teachers could give children more opportunities to seek assistance privately. They should also help students perceive asking questions in front of others as normal, positive behaviors. If seeking help is understood as a commonplace classroom activity, kids may be less likely to think of it as indicating one's ability.
32. Why are young children unwilling to seek help according to the research
A. To showcase their critical thinking.
B. To show a strong belief in themselves.
C. To avoid being seen as lacking abilities.
D. To display initiative in their schoolwork.
33. Which method was adopted in the research
A. Data analysis. B. Questionnaires.
C. A sample survey. D. Scenario simulation(模拟).
34. What are kids of seven most likely to do
A. Asking the teacher for assistance in class.
B. Writing an email to someone to seek help.
C. Pretending to be incompetent among peers.
D. Admitting their mistakes in front of friends.
35. What might be the best title for the text
A. Why kids are afraid to ask for help
B. What slow kids' academic progress
C. How teachers encourage kids' thinking
D. When kids start to value their reputation

Treat Anxious Feelings
Despite the fact that chronic anxiety is very manageable with some combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments, only about 37 percent of affected people receive treatment of any kind. 36. Actually, anxiety is a normal emotional response. If you try to get rid of it, all you' re doing is putting it more at the forefront of your mind. 37.
Accept it. If you accept anxiety as part of life and everyone's experience, you can learn to relate to it with self-compassion and even with humor. 38. It guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and to accept that parts of life are hard. Patients are encouraged to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts, examining the causes of those feelings while also keeping in mind their personal goals and values. Although anxious thoughts shouldn't be completely suppressed(压制), sufferers can be trained to not allow anxiety to turn them away from what they want to do and who they want to be.
Be curious about it. Along with acceptance, a mindfulness approach to anxiety can be useful, especially when you' re cycling through anxious thoughts and unable to think clearly or rationally. When we notice and name the physical sensations that are arising in our bodies (my face feels flushed; my breathing is shallow; my heart is beating quickly), we are already less caught up in those anxious reactions, simply through that act of observation. 39. After three months of using an app called Unwinding Anxiety, test participants reported an average 57 percent reduction in their anxiety.
40. Learning to live with anxiety is an individual process that requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step, some lifestyle changes have been proved to take the edge off as well.
Since fatigue and increased stress leave us more vulnerable to anxiety, a well-balanced diet, adequate rest, and, above all, exercise can help us manage it better. One research study showed that regular vigorous workouts reduced the likelihood of developing an anxiety disorder over the next five years by 25 percent.
A. Make lifestyle adjustments.
B. Many mindfulness training apps can help.
C. The rest try to battle their anxiety from within or suppress it.
D. Pay attention to the body sensations, thoughts and emotions.
E. Here are some tips to help minimize anxiety's negative effects.
F. This is the basis of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
G. It's not always pleasant, but you can accept and take care of your anxiety.

Two researchers who helped lay the foundations for modern artificial intelligence have been awarded the 2024 Nobel prize in physics.
Inspired by the workings of the brain, professor John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton built artificial neural (神经的) networks that store and retrieve memories like the human brain, and learn from information 56 (feed) into them.
Hinton, 76, often referred to as“the godfather of AI”, made headlines last year 57 he quit Google and warned about the dangers of machines outsmarting humans.
The scientists’ pioneering work demonstrated 58 computer programs that draw on neural networks and statistics could form the basis for an entire field, which paved the way for swift and accurate language translation, facial 59 (recognize) systems, and the generativeAI.
Hopfield, 91, 60 (honour) for building“an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data”, while Hinton invented a method that can“independently discover properties in data”, 61 important feature of the large artificial neural networks 62 use today.

Having technology 63 (smart) than humans would be“wonderful in many respects”, Hinton said, leading to 64 (substance) improvements in healthcare, better digital assistants, and productivity. “But we also have to worry about a number of possible bad 65(consequence), particularly the threat of these things getting out of control,” he added.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My sister Ann and I have always had a special kind of bond. Being the only kids in the family, we were stuck with each other. Not that it was bad or anything, but we had our share of arguments and fights.
Although I would never admit it, I always looked up to her. Somewhere along the way, she became known as Sissy, and my nickname became JulieBug. I would try to hang out with her and her friends, only to be kicked out of her room, eventually eavesdropping(偷听) at her door on their juicy conversations. My sister and I even went through a“prank(恶作剧) phase.” I don’ t remember who started it. For weeks, we had to deal with toilet seats wrapped in Saran wrap(保鲜膜), phones smeared with Vaseline, beds made with the sheets too short, and underwear that had been frozen— yes, frozen underwear. Eventually our parents had to break it up, for some of the tricks were getting out of hand, and although they were intended for each other, sometimes the effects were extended to our parents. Of course, being sisters, we also experienced our share of fighting over clothes and stealing, I mean borrowing, each other's things. Even though we occasionally, okay daily, got in fights, we could never remain angry at each other for long.
When I was in middle school and she was in high school, she started letting me hang out with her friends. Once in a while she asked if I would like to go out with them, and I would eagerly reply yes. Whenever I needed help with my homework she always made herself available to tutor me. When she turned sixteen and got her first car, she usually found time to take me to the Dairy Queen for a treat and on occasion brought me lunch at school.
The day we took her to college for her freshman year was the hardest day for me. Though my dad tried to comfort me on the long four-and-a-half-hour ride home, I cried from the time my sister and I said good-bye to when my parents and I reached our hometown.
