Innovation (创新) needs failure!
Museum of Failure is a collection of failed products and services from around the world. The majority of all innovation projects fail and the museum showcases these failures to provide visitors a fascinating learning experience. The museum aims to stimulate productive discussion about failure and inspire us to take meaningful risks. Every item provides unique insight into the risky business of innovation.
The museum is organized by Dr. Samuel West, licensed psychologist, PhD in Organizational Psychology. The following are two examples of those products. (for more info, pls click HERE)
New Coke The competition between Coca-Cola and Pepsi became more intense in 1975with “The Pepsi Challenge”, where consumers in blind taste tests preferred Pepsi over Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola responded by doing extensive market research that confirmed that consumers preferred a sweeter version of the original recipe. Coca-Cola changed its classic recipe in 1985 and launched what was called New Coke. Coca-Cola consumers were very furious that the recipe had been changed. The original formula was rapidly re-introduced and rebranded as Coca-Cola Classic.
Back to the failure The DeLorean, with its strange gull-wing doors, was one of the most spectacular innovation failures in history. The first prototype was built in 1976, when there were not many competitors for this type of futuristic car. The DeLorean was marketed as a luxury sports car, but with a severely under-powered engine the car was painfully slow. It was also difficult to keep clean and the stainless steel panel required constant polishing. The design was unusual and special, but otherwise the car was a disaster—a nightmare on wheels. The DeLorean Motor Company went bankrupt, but the car will always be remembered as the famous time machine from the movie series Back to the Future.
36. What is the theme of Museum of Failure
A. Change is the parent of success. B. It's no use challenging traditions.
C. Nothing ventured nothing gained. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
37. What does the underlined word “furious” in New Coke probably mean
A. Surprised. B. Annoyed . C. Excited. D. Delighted.
38. What do these two products have in common
A. They were inaccessible to ordinary consumers.
B. They were launched with wrong market strategies.
C. They were too advanced for the markets back then.
D. They had issues that led to their failure despite initial innovation.
39. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A science fiction. B. A travel brochure.
C. A museum website. D. A movie application.
B
Escape to a New Life — Everyone's Dream
A TV series in Wales has become a heated issue by becoming the number one choice for teenagers to watch.
The main character is a young farmer and the series is about country life, making the popularity of the series all the more surprising. The series is calm and relaxing and absolutely opposite to city life. It describers the Welsh countryside as a beautiful and peaceful place and its people as very caring and happy.
The series's director believes that this is what young people want today. She says the success of the series is because teenagers want a happier and healthier life away from the pressures of deadlines and exams. She figures this series offers a form of escape from their fast and stressful lives.
Despite this, many parents and teachers are worried about the effect it is having on young people. Parents report that their children are just watching this series and neglecting everything else, using Escape to a New Life as an excuse for not completing homework, or refusing to revise for exams, citing a need for a happier and less stressful life.
One father, Paul McGregor, said his daughter Charlotte had changed a lot. He said, “She used to be in the school athletics team and love the javelin, but now she only wants to watch the TV series and has been dropped from the team. She no longer completes her homework, saying it doesn't matter as she just wants to ‘escape to a new life’. ”
Paediatrician (儿科医生) , Dr. Elisa Carhart who specialises in child mental health, says that TV can influence young people's decisions in life, but believes that if a young person reacts as strongly as Charlotte, it's likely that there are other reasons for the change in his or her behaviour.
40. What is the TV series Escape to a New Life mainly about
A. How people escape from city life. B. How a Welsh farmer lives his life.
C. How teenagers balance work with life. D. How the young live a relaxing life.
41. Why do young people watch Escape to a New Life and neglect everything else according to parents
A. They just find a way of not doing routine work. B. They need to escape from their stressful lives.
C. They only love watching TV series. D. They want a happier and healthier life.
42. What is probably Paul McGregor's attitude towards the TV series
A. Unfavorable. B. Supportive. C. Unclear. D. Forgiving.
43. What can we learn from Dr. Elisa Carhart's words
A. One should not jump in with both feet.
B. One man's meat is another man's poison.
C. We'd better be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud.
D. We should not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
C
ChatGPT is a new AI system that sounds so human in conversations that it could host its own radio programs. Reading between its instantly generated, perfectly grammatical lines, people see different visions of the future. Without doubt, ChatGPT is impressive.
Some compare the emergence of ChatGPT to the impact of the iPhone, but that doesn’t do it justice. ChatGPT, as well as the generative AI that will follow and outsmart it, is more disruptive. And yet, that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the world is upon us. On the contrary, ChatGPT, I would argue, might serve to make us more aware of our irreplaceable human qualities.
Take the creative act, writing in particular, as an example. If you want it to, the AI-powered chatbot always produces something because it has the whole world of online data to draw from. But unlike us, it lacks the consciousness. Thinking is hard, critical thinking even harder, and ChatGPT isn’t good at either. It just restates what has already been said; it is one big recycling machine.
There is another obvious limitation of ChatGPT. Philosopher Harry Frankfurt once claimed: the difference between a bullshitter (胡说八道的人) and a liar is that the liar knows what the truth is but decides to take the opposite direction; a bullshitter, however, has no regard for the truth at all. The AI scholar Gary Marcus applies this distinction to ChatGPT. He believes that we have reached a critical point when “the price of bullshit reaches zero and people who want to spread misinformation, either politically or just to make a profit, start doing that plentifully”. Unfortunately, ChatGPT will reproduce misinformation from any of its input sources — it is not an intelligent system that tries to balance or weight different perspectives. In this sense, everything that ChatGPT writes is bullshit.
This is why the so-called AIQ is critical. It is actually an extension and a measurement of our human IQ: our overall knowledge of AI tools, our mastery of clues, and our ethical awareness. ChatGPT is going to change everything and nothing. Creativity, imagination and ethics — these will all remain unique human domains. It is the AI’s very limitations that will make us appreciate our own.
44. What can we learn about ChatGPT
A. It helps generate an artificial voice.
B. It provides instructions on writing skills.
C. It generates natural language responses.
D. It offers a service for language learning.
45. What does the underlined word “disruptive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Evil. B. Comparable. C. Profitable. D. Revolutionary.
46. Why does the author consider ChatGPT as a bullshit generator
A. It makes up lies constantly.
B. It can’t tell right from wrong.
C. It often makes unfair judgement.
D. It always takes a neutral standpoint.
47. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. ChatGPT Makes Us Human
B. ChatGPT Is Causing Panic Now
C. ChatGPT: Treat It Like a Toy, Not a Tool
D. ChatGPT: Why It Is Bound to Generate Bullshit
