english or in chinesecwhile success is surely sweeter than failure, it seems failure is a far better teacher, and organizations that fail miserably often 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 companies often ignore failuremanagers may fire people or turn over the whole workforce while they should treat the failure as a learning opportunity” prof desai compared 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 recommend 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 comparisonscanalyzing 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 peopl
