Tum on a light, take a photograph, watch TV, search the Web, jet across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a cellphone. The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze (迷宫) of wrong tums.［2］“Many of life’s failures,”the supreme innovator said,“are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”Before that magical moment in October 1879, Edison had worked out no fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light, but in only two cases did his experiments work.［3］No one likes failure, but the smart innovators leam from it. Mark Gumz, 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.”［4］Over 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 the US $1. 50 to get his shoes from the repair shop.［5］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 unfriendly 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 losses, Geffen had so many hits (成功的作品) he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself.76. What’s the main idea of the passage?

[1]While expensive trips to National Parks are great times for whole family, other cheap activities closer to home can be rewarding. Prepare your family to get a little muddy in the activities, but what a great opportunity for children to see the Wonders of Nature![2]When removing wet leaves that have accumulated over the winter, you will find new sprouts(幼苗)beginning to push through the earth. This is a way to open up a conversation about how the leaves are the blankets that keep the sprouts warm until it is warm enough for them to grow unprotected.[3]When walking through the woods you may find violets, wild Orchids and many other plants that have begun to stick their heads out of the ground. If any plant sounds strange to you, it’s a great time to the library to about local plants to read to your children before taking your field trip.[4]Children love to explore. By making a list of things to look for before leaving home, you can begin your exploration with great enthusiasm. Adults play an important role in organizing children’s outdoor activities. When my oldest granddaughter was fours years old, their family had a snake that lived under the garage. One day while playing she discovered that the snake had shed its skin. As she ran toward me she shouted, “Grandma, I found the snake!” My heart skipped a beat until I realized the snake had shed its skin and that was she was gently holding in her hands. Not wanting to ruin her enthusiasm, I suggested we take the snake skin inside, sit at the kitchen table and draw pictures of snake. I’m not saying that my quick thinking changed her life in any way, but she iscurrently in college and her major is Environmental Science.[5]So there are many wonderful ways to learn and teach right in front of us if we take a minute to look.76.
