Confident, smart and high-tech,they're followers of pop culture and know what social networking is all about.They're tweens, children between the ages of 10 and 12.These young people are no longer little kids but they are not yet teenagers,because tweens are in a state of transition (转变).
The tween years are hard for children.From a social point of view, tweens are dealing with quite a lot.They have to face changing relationships,middle school and a whole lot of pressure (压力) to succeed and fit in.They may become angry over seemingly small things.A bad test grade,an argument with a friend, a bad day on the ball field,or a request for cleaning a bedroom might set them off.
Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer, a parenting expert in London and author of Talking to Tweens, says,“The tween years are when young people begin to realize the wider world and to see themselves as the ones separate from their families.”
Right now, tweens' friends are everything to them.It's universal for the age, but they show it in different ways.For boys, the whole friendship thing is through technology and sports.Girls like to talk.
Tweens are also a hot market.What do tweens consider cool? Music is at the top of the cool list,followed by going to the movies.“Being smart”comes third,tied to video games, followed by electronics, sports, fashion and protecting the environment, according to a report.Undoubtedly,tweens have great spending power in the United States.It was the tween market that made Harry Potter a household name.Retailers (零售商) know tweens are a hot market for clothes, music and entertainment.Tweens have their own sense of fashion and enjoy their own parts of popular culture.

When a new product totally fails,companies typically try to move on as quickly as possible and put all of their energy into developing fresh ideas that they hope will catch on.But the Museum of Failure never forgets.This traveling exhibition,which was first launched in Sweden in 2017,has arrived in New York City.
By focusing on more than 150 commercial ideas that didn't succeed for various reasons,the exhibition aims to stimulate discussion about accepting and learning from failure,for example,new Coke,limeade-flavored Oreo cookies,crystal Pepsi and a “hula chair” for exercise.
The exhibition is organized by Samuel West,a clinical psychologist who specializes in organizational science.He hopes it could help normalize and interpret the concept of failure,which he sees as a critical learning opportunity.
“My research is focused on helping organizations to be more innovative,” West says.“And one of the big problems of innovation is the fear of failure.” Indeed,many of the brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven't let one or two frustrated efforts stand in their way.For example,Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors,and both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are still booming.“People feel liberated when they see big well-known brands and companies that have a lot of money and skills and experience still fail when trying new things,” West says.“People feel liberated,like ‘big boys’ can fail,so why can't we?”
The exhibition has interactive features like a “Share Your Failure” wall,where visitors can write their own mistakes on sticky notes.West says,“We want people to take meaningful risks and learn from them.That's where the action is,when it comes to innovation: People trying something new,accepting the level of risk that comes with it and learning from it if the new thing fails.You fail but you gain insight,build on it,try a different version,tinker(修补) and come back again with something better.”
5.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The fame of big brands.
B.The difficulty of innovation.
C.The purpose of the exhibition.
D.The importance of fresh ideas.
6.What does Samuel West think of failure?
A.Costly. B.Relative.
C.Unavoidable. D.Valuable.
7.What do Samuel West's words in paragraph 4 show?
A.His exhibition is easy for people to understand.
B.Big companies are supportive of the exhibition.
C.The exhibition can help reduce people's fear of failure.
D.Innovation spirit is of great importance to big companies.
8.What did Samuel West suggest people do in terms of innovation?
A.Try to avoid risks.
B.Learn from failure.
C.Refer to big brands' ideas.
D.Put all your energy into it.
