| A． | nearly | B． | slightly | C． | narrowly | D． | roughly |
10．Our series The Genius Behind will take you inside the minds of people who are making the impossible possible．Whether it is designing the fastest ever land vehicle，helping the blind to see or creating space history，success relies levels of knowledge to new heights．What can we learn about genius from minds？Based on the people and the projects outlined in the series，we've come up with five lessons．
Lesson one：New challenges require new ways of thinking
Bloodhound SSC aims to be the first vehicle to break the 1，000 mph barrier．One of the key challenge has been to design the wheels．Thinking twice，Mark Chapman，chief engineer decided to change the way they were trying to solve problems and came up with a wheel design，part car，part jet fighter and part spaceship，which would hold together and was strong enough．
Lesson two：Let evidence share your opinion
Geophysicists widely believed that water on Earth originated from comets．But by studying rocks，Steven Jacobsen discovered water hidden inside，suggesting that the oceans gradually made its way out of the planet's interior many centuries ago．"Unfortunately，I had a pretty hard time convincing others，"he admits．Only time can tell whether the new theories are true．
Lesson three：It really is 99% efforts
Sheila Nirenberg at Cornell University is trying to develop a new prosthetic device（假肢器官）for treating blindness．"Sometimes I'm exhausted and I get burnt out，"she adds．"But then I get an email from somebody saying that they can't see their own children's faces，and it is like，‘How can I possibly complain？Once I thought of this，I couldn't eat，I couldn't sleep-all I wanted to do was work'．It gives me the energy to just go back and keep doing it．"
Lesson four：The answer isn't always what you expect
Sylvia Earle has spent decades trying to see the ocean with new eyes．Her"dream machine"is a submarine that could take scientists all the way to the bottom of the deepest ocean floor what sort of material could best withstand the types of pressure y would encounter thousands of miles below the ocean surface？"It could be steel，it could be titanium，it could be some sort of ceramic，or some kind of aluminium system，"says Earle．"But glass is the best choice．"
Lesson five：A little luck goes a long way
It was considered as one of the biggest success stories in the history of space exploration-20 years of planning ended earlier this year with the Philae lander landing safely Comet 67P over 300 million miles（480 million kilometers）away from Earth，though Philae's anchoring harpoons（锚定鱼叉）didn't fire as planned．
As a matter of fact，genius is difficult to define．"Genius is a funny word，"says Nirenberg．"I just sort of ignore it and just go on with life．You just do what you do regardless of whatever label's attached to you．I don't know really how else to explain it．
