3.Any list of the greatest thinkers in history contains the name of the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein.His theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time,space,matter,energy,and gravity.Einstein's work led to such scientific advances as the control of atomic energy,even television as a practical application of Einstein's work.In 1902 Einstein became an examiner in the Swiss patent office at Bern.In 1905,at 26,he published four of his five major research papers.The first one provided a theory explaining Brownian movement,the zig-zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension (悬浮液).The second paper laid the foundation for the photon (光子),theory of light.In it he proposed that light is composed of separate packets of energy,called photons.A third paper contained the"special theory of relativity"which showed that time and motion are relative to the observer,if the speed of light is constant and the natural laws are the same everywhere in the universe.The fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity.Here Einstein presented his famous formula,E=mc2,known as the energy mass equivalence (等价).In 1916,Einstein published his general theory of relativity in which he proposed that gravity is not a force,but a curve (曲线) in the space-time continuum (连续体),created by the presence of mass.
  Einstein spoke out frequently against nationalism,the rising of one nation above all others.He opposed war and violence and supported Zionism,the movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine.When the Nazis came to power in 1933,they criticized his ideas.He then moved to the United States.In 1939 Einstein learned that two German chemists had split the uranium atom.Einstein wrote to President Franklin D.Roosevelt warning him that this scientific knowledge could lead to Germany developing an atomic bomb.He suggested the United States begin its own atomic bomb research.

4.Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation that threatens the survival of companies everywhere.It's based on the assumption that old ideas will always work,so they shouldn't be challenged.While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don't change,it's unlikely to hold true in a changing situation.In today's rapid changing global environment,old methods often don't work,and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems.
Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security.If everyone else believes it,then it must be true.Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right,and being right is good.They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work.In 1977,Ken Olsen,co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC),stated"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home."Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry,DEC no longer exists.
People seem to forget that since innovation is a change,there can be no innovation without change.Unfortunately,conventional wisdom prevents leaders,followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating.If companies don't innovate,but their competitors do,the future is likely to be problematic.Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries,so it has a powerful effect on business success.
Ted Turner (founder of CNN) knew little,if anything,about the news business,but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour,as was common before CNN.Turner's solution was to create a cable channel dedicated to news 24hours a day.The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time,and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day.However,it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don't have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work.Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information.Due to conventional thinking,the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted.They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future.
Conventional wisdom prevents creativity,flexibility and risk-taking,so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it.To survive,thrive and maintain competitive advantage,companies must be flexible when reacting to change.

32.DEC has disappeared probably becauseB.
A.the consumers didn't like its products
B.the CEO stuck to the conventional ideas
C.the leaders lacked the sense of security
D.the employees took many risks with changes
33.The founding of CNN is used as an example to proveD.
A.conventional wisdom influences business success
B.missing opportunities could lead to failure
C.watching news at the dinner hour is convenient
D.changing could contribute to business success
34.What does the underlined part probably mean?C
A.Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly.
B.Most of the viewers don't like to watch the news at work.
C.It's easy to know people needn't watch the news all the time.
D.It's necessary to understand when people watch the news.
35.Which is the suitable title for this passage?D
A.Wiser leaders,better future
B.Innovation is everything
C.Opportunities lead to business success
D.Conventional wisdom limits innovation.
18.Some young engineers from the United States have brought the Internet to several areas of rural Kenya.
Their idea was to connect the communities to the Web by satellite.But there was a problem.The areas were not even connected to Kenya's electric power supply.The answer:solar panels.Energy from the sun powers the satellite dishes and computers that link the areas with the world outside.
Kelly Moran,Joan Ervin and Tricia Donajkowski spent 10days in Kenya in November.The women recently earned master's degrees in space systems engineering from the University of Michigan.
Another engineer,Drew Heckathorn,did not go to Africa but worked on parts of the project.
Kelly Moran says there was excitement when the team would arrive to connect communities to the Internet.People would sometimes run alongside the car carrying the engineers to welcome them.And local residents would offer to help the team build the Internet stations.
People now have access to educational,medical and all kinds of other information.Farmers,for example,can easily find weather,crop and price information online.
The project began back at the college of engineering in Ann Arbor,Michigan,in 2007.That was when 25students in a class taught by Thomas Zurbuchen first talked about the idea.
The goal was to test whether Internet stations could be set up,how much they would cost,and how long they could operate.But the engineers also had to consider other things--like social needs.Students from the public health and business schools offered advice.
The young engineers also had to design the equipment to survive the heat in Africa.Professor Zurbuchen praises his former students for  "making something work in a different climate far away from home."
Google paid for the final design of the equipment.The company is also supporting the costs of the satellite bandwidth needed for the connections.Google has invested in a new company that wants to put up a system of satellites over Africa.The availability of more satellites would reduce the costs.
Just 5percent of Africans have Internet connections.The International Telecommunication Union says 1/3of Kenyans have mobile phones.But mobile phones may or may not work well with the Internet.

24.What is the main idea of the whole passage?A
A.The Internet stations to be set up in some areas of rural Kenya.
B.Engineers from America to help the communities in Kenya.
C.Solar energy has been used to operate the Internet.
D.The Internet to play an important part in people's life in Kenya.
25.Why did Google give the project financial support?B
A.It intends to help to rid Kenya's residents of poverty.
B.The project is one of its investments in Africa.
C.The use of satellites would benefit a lot its business in Kenya.
D.It wants to test whether its equipment is the best in the world.
26.The underlined part in the ninth paragraph suggests thatC.
A.it is difficult for Kelly and her partners to build the Internet stations in Kenya
B.the climate in Kenya is so bad that Kelly and her partners will have difficulty in building the Internet stations
C.what Kelly and her partners will do will make a difference to the residents in Kenya
D.to help Kenya build the Internet stations,Kelly and her partners have to leave their homes
27.From the passage we can learn thatC.
A.the idea of building the Internet stations in Kenya was put forward by Professor Zurbuchen
B.the project hasn't got any support from Kenya's government
C.the Internet stations are powered by solar energy
D.Professor Zurbuchen is giving the project the technical direction.
