Welcome to the Museum of Failure. Maybe you haven't heard about some of the things there. That's because they are all a“ failure”. On 7th June 2017, the Museum of Failure opened in a town in Sweden. There are more than 60 failed products from all over the world on show at the museum.
Dr. Samuel West set up the museum. It provides visitors with a learning experience about the important role of failure. Rather than laughing at bad designs, West hopes that his museum can help us learn from our mistakes.“ When we try out a new skill or learn something, it's okay to fail,” he says.
The museum also encourages companies to become better at learning from failure. One of the failed products on show is Apple Newton. It offers an example of how companies can turn failure into success. Created in 1993, Apple Newton failed to satisfy customers. Steve Jobs stopped producing it in 1998. Twelve years later, the company produced the successful iPad.
“ By stopping it, good engineers could work on new products,” Jobs later said.“ And finally we got it right when we moved on to iPhones and the iPad.”
Getting all the products wasn't easy for Dr. Samuel West. Many of them were bought on eBay and all of them were different from one another. West said,“ All successful innovations(创新) are alike, but all failed innovations fail in their own interesting and amazing way.”
So what's West's greatest failure
“I'm really good at producing ideas and fun, interesting projects,” he said.“ But they all failed because I don't find a way to make money from them.”
Now West became successful by setting up a museum that can travel around the world. He and his museum will then visit Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and so on. Many companies have booked large group visits.

( )34. What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The man who set up the museum.
B. The purpose why the museum was set up.
C. The activities that are held in the museum.
D. The rules which should be followed in the museum.

A. failure is always a bad thing
B. failure is dangerous to people
C. it’s possible to turn failure into success
D. anyone has to experience success and failure
( )36. What can we learn from the last paragraph

D. West became successful because of many museums all over the world.

Beijing’s Forbidden City is a place full of wonders. From its thousands of rooms to its many different beautiful things, there's no wonder it's one of China's most popular places for tourists. Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it's said that the Forbidden City has survived more than 200 earthquakes.
Recently, a television programme by UK broadcaster Channel 4 has studied the skills of the ancient building's designers. A group of Chinese engineers were shown building a model of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one fifth of the size. To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to a test. In the test, they simulated(模拟) an earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test.
According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City's strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures, lies in dougong—a centuries- old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets(构件) on buildings. Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets terrible.
“ Dougong design is an important earthquake- resistant(抗震的) feature of classical Chinese structures because the shape will be changed under pressure, much like the shock absorbers(减震器) of a car,” according to the Chinese National Geography.“ Ancient Chinese people created structures that were both strong and good- looking by using dougong, showing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science.”
The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and culture, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter.
( )37. This passage is mainly about .
A. a very popular place for tourists to visit
B. the skills of the ancient building's designers
C. a special building method in ancient Chinese buildings
D. the designs of Chinese architecture during the Ming Dynasty
( )38. The aim of the test in the UK program was to .
A. save people from a real earthquake
B. explain the size of the Forbidden City
C. introduce an ancient Chinese building method
D. show the strength of the palaces in Forbidden City
( )39. According to the passage,“ dougong” is .
A. a paint that gives Chinese buildings an attractive look
B. a tool used by ancient people to measure earthquakes
C. special building parts that keep a traditional Chinese building together
D. a kind of building design in the center of a traditional Chinese house
( )40. This passage most probably comes from the part in a magazine.
A. education B. history C. travel D. science
