Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are neededBill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas. Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect Find your answers from facts-not start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy comets(封星) or planets which hit into Earth. However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acted like a sponge(海绵). This suggested that Earths water might have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity. I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, he said. But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesnt happen very often. When it does, its amazing.Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long wayYears of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agencys Philae, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by Philae had taken ten years! The scientists had no idea what the surface of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted. When Philae tried to land, it bounced(弹起) away from the comets icy surface twice. Luckily, however, Philae landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth. （1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg left college because_.

A . Comet 67P was not far away from EarthB . it took Philae2o years to reach Comet 67PC . Philae landed on Comet 67P with a little luckD . scientists know nothing about the surface of Comet 67P（4）The best title for this passage is_. A . Ways of learningB . Lessons for successC .
