Maurice Mountain is a retired lawyer in Washington D. C. He developed a prototype(原型)for a device he calls Presto Emergency Boat Ladder. His invention is a small folding lad?der that attaches to the side of a boat to help people who fall into the water. Mr Mountain plans to mass-produce his boat ladder.

He created his invention at a workshop called TechShop. Mr Mountain says, "I think it encourages innovation. 1 think people who probably have had ideas rolling around in the back of their minds for years but have never had the opportunity to actually put them into production or even experiment with them would find this place wonderful. Members of TechShop use high-tech equipment to develop and produce ideas they have for inventions. " Isabella Musachio manages a TechShop in Arlington, Virginia. She says the shop has many different kinds of equipment.

"TechShop is a do-it-yourself maker space. So when you come in we have all these different areas of the shop, and we have a metal shop, a wood shop, lasers, 3-D printers, and electronics. I mean, we have so many different areas and we have all the equipment that is available to anybody above the age of 12."

Membership costs for TechShop start at just over $ 100 per month. Members are able to use costly machines inclu?ding 3-D modelling tools and laser cutters. Isabella Musachio says TechShop helps its members build their dreams.

"Our motto is 'build your dreams here' because you can really come in with just an idea, and then with the help of TechShop make that leap from an idea to building your pro?ject on your prototype or even your business.,,

Jim Newton is the founder of TechShop. He first intro?duced the idea for the technology workshops at an arts and sciences event called Maker Faire in San Mateo* California in 2006. His idea attracted hundreds of members during that event. Now, there are eight TechShop locations in the US. In all, there are more than 6,000 members. Two more Tech?Shop locations in the cities of St. Louis and Los Angeles will be set up.

  1. The invention Mr Mountain invented will be used to

    A.     save the drowning people

    B.     help people climb the ladder

 C.      make the boat safer

D.     let the boat float safely

 2.What can be inferred from what Mr Mountain says in Par?agraph 2?

 A.     People with imagination can achieve their dreams.

B.     TechShop can help turn some people's ideas into real?ity.

C.     TechShop is a place where people can put forward their new ideas.

D.     It's hard for people to put their ideas into practice.

A [2015 •河北教学质量检测]

Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental science at the University of Redlands in California. He studies ecologi?cal literacy―or eco-literacy, for short. Eco-literacy is the a-bility to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.

Monty Hempel says eco-literacy gives people knowledge about environmental problems. But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behaviour.

Mr Hempel wrote part of the Worldwatch Institute's lat?est State of the World report. He says in his article, "Some people think that eco-literacy is just a green form of science literacy. And what I have tried to ask is whether that's e-nough. In other words, what an ecology-literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows, the energy systems, all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology.,,

"That doesn't seem to lead to action to protect our envi?ronment―to protect our life-support system to the level that we need to. Just because that we know a lot about the envi?ronment doesn't mean that we actually act to save it. After all, actions speak louder than knowledge.,,

He adds that people may not be very worried about envi?ronmental problems if they seem far away. "Some people call it psychological distance. A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic. And so, there's a certain distance. But there's also a distance that's happening in the world as it urbanizes―people spend?ing more time in front of screens and less time out in nature. We become, if you will, disconnected from the natural sys?tems that used to be the key to success for a human being.,,

To help children discover the wonders of nature, he adds that children should learn about nature in school. But he also points out we have a high mountain to climb from knowledge to action.

1,   From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3, we learn
that_________ .

A.    knowledge on environmental protection is not enough

B.     knowledge that children learn at school is useless

C.     eco-literacy can help people understand how nature works

D.    people with enough knowledge will protect the envi?ronment well

2.   What is especially important for environmental protection
in Mr Hempel's opinion?

A. Knowledge,

  B. Action. 

  C.  Green living

  D.  Psychological distance.

3.     Mr Hempel thinks people show no concern about some
environmental problems because____________ .

 

A.     they lack knowledge on environmental protection

B.     they have no awareness of environmental protection

C.     some environmental problems are not worse at all

D.     some environmental problems happened far away

4.     What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

 

A.     Experts think it is the best way to learn nature in school.

B.     Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise well.

C.     Changing people's attitude to environmental protection is hard.

D.     Knowledge can help children take action to protect the environment.

A [2.015 "绥化市三校高三联考]

While success is surely sweeter than failure, it seems failure is a far better teacher, and organizations that fail mis?erably often flourish (繁荣)more in the long run, according to a new study by Vinit Desai, assistant professor of manage?ment at the University of Colorado Denver Business School. Researchers have found that people missing their goals per?form much better in the long run. That is because they gain more knowledge from their failures than their successes and the lessons are more likely to stay longer in their minds.

"We found that the knowledge gained from success was often fleeting while knowledge from failure stuck around for years," said professor Desai, who led the study. "But compa?nies often ignore failure. Managers may fire people or turn over the whole workforce while they should treat the failure as a learning opportunity.,,

Professor Desai compared the flights of the space shuttle Atlantis and the Challenger. During the Atlantis' flight last year, a piece of insulation(绝缘体)broke off and damaged the left solid rocket booster (火箭助推器)but didn't influ?ence the programme. There was little investigation. The Challenger was launched next and another piece of insulation broke off. This time the shuttle and its seven-person crew were destroyed. The disaster led to a major investigation re?sulting in 29 changes to prevent future disasters.

The difference in response in the two cases came down to this : Atlantis was considered a success and the Challenger a failure.

"Despite crowded skies, airlines are extremely reliable," he said. " The number of failures is extremely small. And past researches have shown that older airlines, those with more experience in failure, have a lower number of acci?dents. "

Professor Desai doesn't recommend finding out failure in order to learn. Instead, he advises organizations to analyse small failures to collect useful information rather than wait for major failures.

1. Why did experts pay little attention to the problem of At?lantis?

 A.     Because it worked perfectly.

B.     Because the right booster was still OK.

C.     Because nothing serious happened then.

D.     Because fewer people died in the flight.

2.Fewer accidents happen to older airlines in that . 

A. their planes couldn't fly high in the sky

 B.      they gained much from experience in failure

C.      their planes were often checked by the experts

D.     they were unpopular among passengers

 3.The passage is written mainly to_____________ .

 A.     show failure is a better teacher than success

B.     explain why the Challenger failed

C.     introduce something about Professor Desai

D.     tell managers how to achieve success

4.Which writing strategy is NOT used in developing the passage?

 A.     Giving definitions.

B.     Making comparisons.

C.     Analysing causes.

D.     Providing different examples.
