新视野英语教程 Section A: Text Reading • Genius Characters • Even the most powerful computer in the world can’t be a genius because it has no character. It can remember and calculate quickly and accurately, and handle great amounts of information — but it can’t think about the information like we can. It has no feelings, no opinions, no moments of madness. 上一页下一页 Company Logo

新视野英语教程 Section A: Text Reading 7. “I wandered about the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand: why shells existed on the tops of mountains… why thunder lasts longer than that which causes it … how the various circles of water form around the spot that has been struck by a stone … how a bird flies …” 上一页下一页 Company Logo

新视野英语教程 Section A: Text Reading 8.— Be brave. Geniuses simply cant’t be afraid of making mistakes.

He told his friends that, because he knew so many ways that didn’t work, he was much closer than any other inventor to finding the right answer! 上一页下一页 Company Logo

新视野英语教程 Section A: Text Reading 9. Geniuses must also be prepared to shock people.

新视野英语教程Section A: Text Reading 天才的性格 1.即使是世界上功能最强大的计算机也不可能是天才，因为它没有性格。它虽然能快速准确地记忆、运算、和处理大量的信息，但却不能和我们人类一样思考这些信息。它没有感情，没有思想，也没有疯狂的时刻。下一页上一页 Company Logo
