flourish （繁荣） more in the long run, according to a new study by Vinit Desai, assistant professor of management at the University of Colorado Denver Business SchoolResearchers have found that people missing their goals perform much better in the long runThat 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 panies often ignore failureManagers may fire people or turn over the whole workforce while they should treat the failure as a learning opportunity” Prof Desai pared the flights of the space shuttle Atlantis and the ChallengerDuring the Atlantis flight last year, a piece of insulation （绝缘体） broke off and damaged the left solid rocket booster （助推火箭） but didnt influence the programThere was little investigationThe Challenger was launched next and another piece of insulation broke offThis time the shuttle and its sevenperson crew were destroyedThe disaster led to a major investigation resulting in 29 changes to prevent future disastersThe 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 smallAnd past researches have shown that older airlines, those with more experience in failure, have a lower number of accidents”Prof Desai doesnt remend finding out failure in order to learnInstead, he advises organizations to analyze small failures to collect useful information rather than wait for major failures63Why did experts pay little attention to the problem of Atlantis?ABecause it worked perfectly BBecause the right booster was still OKCBecause nothing serious happened then DBecause fewer people died in the flight64Fewer accidents happen to older airlines in that _Atheir planes couldnt fly high in the skyBthey gained much from experience in failureCtheir planes were often checked by the expertsDthey were unpopular among passengers65The passage is written mainly to _Ashow failure is a better teacher than success Bexplain why Challenger failed Cintroduce something about Prof Desai Dtell managers how to achieve success66Which writing strategy is NOT used in developing the passage? AGiving definitions BMaking parisonsCAnalyzing causes DProviding different examplesD Culture helps human societies survive in changing natural environmentFor example, the end of the last Ice Age, beginning about 15,000 years ago, brought a big challenge to which humans had to adaptBefore this time, large parts of the northern hemisphere were covered in great sheets of ice that contained much of the earth s waterIn North America, large animals that wandered the vast tundra （冰原） provided people with food and materials for clothing and simple sheltersWhen the earth became warm, large Ice Age animals disappeared, and many land areas were covered by rising sea levels from melting iceBut people survived, they developed new technologies and learned how to survive on new plant and animal species Finally some people settled into permanent villages, durable houses and farmsCultural adaptation has made humans one of the most successful species on the planet Through history, major developments in technology, medicine, and nutrition have allowed people to reproduce and survive in ever-increasing numbersThe global population has risen from 8 million during the Ice Age to about 6 billion todayHowever, the successes of culture adaptation can also create problems in the long runOver the last 200 years, people have begun to use large quantities of natural resources and energy and to produce a great amount of material and chemical wastesThe global population now consumes some important natural resourcessuch as petroleum, wood, and mineralsfaster than nature can produce themMany scientists believe that in the process of burning fuels and producing wastes, people may be changing the global climate in unpredictable and possibly harmful waysThus, the adaptive success of the present-day global culture of production and trade may be temporary67What is the first paragraph mainly talking about?AHow the human beings survived in the Ice AgeBWhat the situation was like during the Ice AgeCWhat caused the Ice Age to e to an endDWhy the Ice Age was very important68To deal with the problems, human beings should _according to the passageAstop developing any longerBreduce the overuse of natural resourcesCstop the global warming and using natural resourcesDsave more animals in case they all die out69Which of the following is the problem caused by cultural adaptation according to the passage?AA very developed culture came into beingBNew technologies have been developedCNatural resources have been used upDHuman activities have done damage to the balance of nature70Which of the following can be the best tide of the passage?ANatural Environment Should Be ProtectedBThe Success of Cultural Adaptation Is Not PermanentC
