Well, inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already ____33____. The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds. Wrong idea number 2: Inventors are born, not made.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题):(12分) My name is Jerry. Last year, I went on holiday to the French Alps with my parents and brother. We all love climbing mountains. We didn’t plan to climb really high, just some smaller but challenging climbs. On the first day, we climbed a 50-metre cliff. It wasn’t very hard, and we all reached the top in about two hours. The view from the top was amazing. It was 11 a.m., and the sun was warming the rocks. We didn’t want to go down in the hot sun, so we decided to wait a while and look around. My brother and I went to explore some nearby caves. We had done some caving before and these caves looked exciting. They were dark and deep. After going inside for about 10 metres, the passage became very narrow. I told my brother we should go back, but he wanted to continue. He thought he could hear water and believed there was an underground lake ahead. I wasn’t sure, but my brother squeezed through the narrow gap. He called me to follow. I was scared, but I tried to go through too. It was pitch black, and I couldn’t see anything. Then I got stuck. I couldn’t move. I shouted for my brother, but he couldn’t help me. He couldn’t leave the cave to get help because I was blocking his way. After ten minutes, I started to feel dizzy (眩晕) and weak. My brother kept talking to me to keep me awake. Finally, the rescue team arrived. They knew exactly what to do. They sprayed something on the rocks, and gently pulled me free. I felt so happy to be out! My brother squeezed back through without any problem. Out of the cave, my brother said to my parents. “________” 45. What was the family’s plan? ________________________ 46.

The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the ____32____. Wrong idea number 1: An invention has to be something completely new. Well, inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already ____33____. The Wright brothers, for example, got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds. Wrong idea number 2: Inventors are born, not made. There are a lot of factors (因素) that make innovation ____34____. Take Mozart, for example. He was born with a unique talent for musical composition.

As one inventor said, “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!” Wrong idea number 3: Inventors are always ____37____ people.

Works by famous artists, such as Monet or Picasso, are worth a lot of money. But the value may go up or down depending on whether the work is real and how r____41____ it is. For newer or less-known artists, the value of their art often depends on an art expert’s opinion. However, sometimes the value of art doesn’t f____42____ any clear-rules. For example, Jackson Pollock is best-known for his paintings that look like paint on a canvas. Yet, his paintings sell for millions. Another artist’s photograph of a s____43____ brown potato sold for more than a million dollars. These are examples of when the value given to a piece of art may confuse some.

Last year, I went on holiday to the French Alps with my parents and brother. We all love climbing mountains. We didn’t plan to climb really high, just some smaller but challenging climbs. On the first day, we climbed a 50-metre cliff. It wasn’t very hard, and we all reached the top in about two hours. The view from the top was amazing. It was 11 a.m., and the sun was warming the rocks. We didn’t want to go down in the hot sun, so we decided to wait a while and look around. My brother and I went to explore some nearby caves. We had done some caving before and these caves looked exciting. They were dark and deep. After going inside for about 10 metres, the passage became very narrow. I told my brother we should go back, but he wanted to continue. He thought he could hear water and believed there was an underground lake ahead. I wasn’t sure, but my brother squeezed through the narrow gap. He called me to follow. I was scared, but I tried to go through too. It was pitch black, and I couldn’t see anything. Then I got stuck. I couldn’t move. I shouted for my brother, but he couldn’t help me. He couldn’t leave the cave to get help because I was blocking his way. After ten minutes, I started to feel dizzy (眩晕) and weak. My brother kept talking to me to keep me awake. Finally, the rescue team arrived. They knew exactly what to do. They sprayed something on the rocks, and gently pulled me free. I felt so happy to be out! My brother squeezed back through without any problem. Out of the cave, my brother said to my parents. “________” 45.
