4  N0 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 company’S successes in technology to understanding failure．His popular phrase is：“You only fail when you quit”

5  0ver 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 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 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 10sses．Geffen had so many hits(成功的作品)he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself．

第一篇  Two People，Two Paths
     You must be familiar with the situation：Dad’s driving，Mum’s telling him where to go．He’s sure that they need to turn 1eft．But she says it’s not for another two blocks．Who has the better sense of direction?Men or women?
     They both do,a new study says．but in different ways． Men and women．Canadian researchers have found，have different methods of finding their way．Men look quickly at landmarks f地标)and head off in what they think is the right direction Women．however．try to picture the whole route in detail and then f01low the path in their head，“Women tend to be more detailed．”said Edward Cornell，who led the study。“while men tend to be a little bit faster and…a little bit more intuitive(直觉感知的)”
     In fact．said Cornell．“sense of direction”isn’t one skill but two．The first is the“survey method，’．This is when you see an area from above，such as a printed map You can see．for example，where the hospital is，where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right
     The second skill is the“route method”This is when you use a series of directions．Yon start from the hospital．then turn 1eft．turn right，go uphill—and then you see the supermarket．
     Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions Both work．and neither is better .Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history．They argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles．
     In ancient times．young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places．The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks—the mountains．the 1akes and so on．
     The women，on the other hand，took young girls out to find fruits and plants．These activities were本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
