22、   Before Steve Jobs co-founded Apple, there were no iPhones or iPads. Jobs changed the way we think about many things, including telephones, computers, and books. Because of Jobs, says his biographer(传记作者)Walter Isaacson, entire industries like music and publishing have changed completely.

I recently talked with Isaacson in New York City about his new best-seller,The Innovators:How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution, in which he tells hundreds of stories of the people who created the computer and the Internet.

I asked what qualities stood out in the innovators he studied. “They really care about both art and science,” Isaacson said. “They really believe it’s important to connect the humanities(人文学科) to technology and engineering.”

For kids who want to become tomorrow’s innovators, he said, “If you’re such a person -- very creative and love art, you should not shy away from also learning math and learning coding(编码). If you’re an engineer, you should learn to read poetry.”

“Every great innovator has passion (激情), determination, and the courage to fail,” Isaacson said. “Working in teams makes creative people even more effective(有效的), ” he added.“Sometimes, some-one else’s suggestions can help improve or perfect your design.”

When Isaacson was growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, he decided early on that he wanted to be a writer. After reading a book by a friend’s uncle, he realized that writing is a job you can have, just like being a fisherman or an engineer or a doctor.

Of all the books Isaacson has written, he said that his favorite was a biography of Ben Franklin. “ He did everything,” Isaacson said. “ He was friendly and nice and good to people. Reading all of his letters, I felt I really got to know him and like him.”

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A.Isaacson had a great influence on Jobs.

B.Jobs’ biography was difficult to write.

C.Isaacson likes music very much.

D.Isaacson thinks highly of Jobs.

【2】In Isaacson’s mind, innovators are those who _______.

A.are good at telling stories

【3】Paragraph 5 mainly tells us _______.

A.how to work with a great innovator

B.the importance of good teamwork

C.what it takes to be an innovator

D.the role of an innovator in a team

【4】Isaacson decided to begin his career as a writer because _______.

24、World Poetry Day is on 21 March, and reciting a poem is a fantastic way to make the most of it. You could perform for your family at home. 【1】 Or you could even ask your teacher if you could recite a poem to your class. Reciting a poem is the perfect way to share with your friends a piece of work or an author you love.

Roger McGough is a poet and author whose new picture book Money-Go-Round came out last month. He says it's of great benefit to recite poetry in many aspects. 【2】 “I was very interested in reciting poems as a child, “he says.” Performing them was like theatre. It brought them alive for me.”

【3】 Once you have picked a poem, McGough says that you don't need to learn it byheart in order to recite it. “I always read from a book when I perform poetry.”

Before performing your recital, spend plenty of time practising the poem and getting to know the words' rhythms. “Try not to stop at the end of every line, especially if the sentences run on from each other,” says McGough. “ 【4】 With a lot of poetry, you' re discovering the words as you've set off on with words.”

Many people might be worried about feeling nervous. 【5】 Those who perform poetry well have learned to embrace them. “I still get nervous when I go on stage,” says McGough.
