20、ish. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have no failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it wont work.

21、”So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so that things will go right next time?Second, is the goal youre trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think

22、 about this question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldnt be doing anyway.The third thing to keep in mind about failure is that its a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed.41. This passage dea

25、mber it C. learn to enjoy it D. learn to accept itBGrown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding? To see whether babies know objects are solid, T. Bower designed a me

26、thod for projecting an optical illusion（视觉影像） of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach out and touch, and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expecte

27、d to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16-to 24- week -old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.

28、 still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land?

29、in that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to

30、 see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case.

31、back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week -old babies did not seem to notice the switch.
