18、 for their success? Well, good timing for a start. You can have a great idea which the public simply doesnt want . yet. The Italian Giovanni Caselli invented the first fax(傳真)machine in the 1860s. Although the machine was excellent, his invention quickly died a commercial(商業(yè)的) death. It was not unti

19、l the 1980s that the fax became very common in every office. too late for Giovanni Caselli. Money also helps. The Frenchman Denis Papin (1647-1712) had the idea for a steam engine (蒸汽機)almost a hundred years before the better-remembered Scotsman James Watt was even born. but he never had enough mone

20、y to build one. You also need to be patient (it took scientists nearly eighty years to develop a light bulb which actually worked). but not too patient. In the 1870s, Elisha Gray, a professional inventor from Chicago, developed plans for a telephone. Gray saw it as no more than “a beautiful toy”. Ho

21、wever, when he finally sent details of his invention to the Patent Office(專利局) in February， 1876, it was too late. Almost the same invention had arrived two hours earlier. and the young man who sent it, Alexander Graham Bell, will always be remembered as the inventor of the telephone.Of course what

22、you really need is a great ideabut if you havent got one, a walk in the country and careful look at nature can help. The Swiss scientist, George de Mestral, had the idea for Velcro（魔術(shù)貼）when he found his clothes covered in sticky seed pods after a walk in the country. During a similar walk in the Fre

23、nch countryside some 250 years earlier, Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur had the idea that paper could be made from wood when he found an abandoned wasps nest（蜂巢）.You also need good commercial sense. Willy Higinbotham was a scientist doing nuclear（核能的） research in the Brookhaven National Laboratory

24、 in Upton, USAIn 1958, the public were invited to an exhibition in the Laboratory to see their work, but both parents and children were more interested in a tennis video game on the screen. Soon hundreds of people were ignoring the other exhibits to play the first ever computer gamemade from a simpl

25、e laboratory instrument called an “oscilloscope”. Higinbotham, however, never made money from his invention: he thought people were only interested in the game because the other exhibits were so boring!1How many factors do inventors need according to the passage?A3. B4. C5. D6.2The word “ignoring” i

28、 money from inventionsC15、According to a new study, cats may be just as smart as dogs. Both cats and dogs may have episodic memory（情景記憶）, similar to that of human beings.The discovery shows that cats can recall memories of positive experiences like eating a delicious snack. The study was a test of e

29、pisodic memory. Episodic memory means memory of past experiences that happened at a special time and place.In the test, cats were led to four open bowls of food. They were allowed to eat from two of them. After fifteen minutes, empty bowls took the place of the old ones. Then the same cats returned

30、to look for food again. They spent more time searching for the old bowls.It seemed that the cats were able to remember the information of “what” and “where” about the bowls. This discovery suggests that they may have episodic memory. However, its still not clear whether cats can truly experience pas

31、t memories in the same way as human beings do. “Its difficult to know whether the cats can subjectively（主觀地）remember the experience,” Nick Diamond, a researcher at the University of Toronto, explained.Still, the test plays an important role in the development of memory research in animals. “It opens

32、 the door to new studies. How long can cats memories last? We may do some research on this in the future,” Professor Laurie Santos from Yale University told BBC News.The road to new discoveries is long and difficult. Though there are lots of problems to be solved and discussed along the way, such st

36、 much admired and sometimes loved, the Spanish who made the organization into one that is rich and so powerful.No one doubted Samaranchs ability to make something impossible come true. In 1981 he ensured(確保) that Seoul was elected to be the host of the 1988 Olympics. Remember, that was a time when t

37、he two Koreas were at war with each other. And because Samaranch helped swing(使改變) Spanish votes(投票) across to London, rather than to Paris, London was made host for the 2012. To China and the Chinese people, Samaranch was considered a great friend. Thanks to his efforts(努力) during his last term as

38、IOC president, Beijing and China won the Olympics for the first time.Samaranch led the IOC from 1980 to 2001. Certainly, throughout his IOC presidential term, he had a soft spot for Moscow, for it was there that he was elected president of the IOC in 1980, and it was there that he managed to reach h

39、is final wishes as IOC president. Very early on in that 2001 Moscow session he wanted the Belgian surgeon, Jacques Rogge, a newcomer to the Olympic Movement, to replace him as president, for China to host the 2008 Olympic Games and for his son, Juan Antonio Samaranch junior, to become an IOC member.
