Unit 2 SUCCESSREADING CLUB 1 2READING CLUB 1CONTRIBUTION AND SACRIFICEHuang Danian, the renowned Chinese geophysicist, was born in 1958 in Guangxi, China. As a keen and able student, Huang went to the UK in 1993 to further his studies.By the time Huang moved back to China in 2008, he had been living and working in the UK for 15 years. He had a good job and a life there, but he gave it all up to return home, driven by the idea that he needed to contribute to his country. As one of the world’s leading experts in deep earth exploration technology, Huang was approached to participate in the “Thousand Talent” programme. He took up a position at Jilin University, Chang chun.Huang was named lead scientist on China’s deep earth exploration programme, developing advanced cameras that can see through the Earth’s crust1 so that it can be analysed without having to dig into it. He set up a state-of-the-art lab, sometimes paying for equipment with his own money. Some described him as a “lunatic” (a madman), but this passion and drive enabled Huang to propel China’s deep earth exploration technology into a world-leading position. Huang's dedication contributed to China’s lunar probe2 Yutu being landed on the moon in 2013 and the launch of the spacecrafts Shenzhou-11 and Tiangong-2 in 2016.Huang’s health also paid the price for his commitment to his work, He began having fainting fits in 2012, but paid them little attention, stating he did not have time to go to see a doctor — his work always came first. In November 2016, Huang collapsed and was taken to hospital, where he was diagnosed with cancer, The disease was so advanced that he had just a couple of months to live.Like the true scientist he was, Huang never gave up, but always tried to push forwards. Even from his hospital bed. he continued his work, writing letters of reference for his colleagues and replying to questions from his students, He had great faith in the talent of the up-and-coming generation. “Our country is in urgent need of talented people,” he said, “If we spend more time and pay more attention to the young, masters and even Nobel prize winners may rise among them.”Huang died in January 2017, aged just 58. More than 800 people attended his funeral3 to celebrate a life that burned so bright, but was so short.NOTES1 crust n.外壳 2 lunar probe 月球探测器 3 funeral n.葬礼GENERAL UNDERSTANDING1 Why did Huang Danian return to China in 2008? What were his achievements after he came back to China?He felt he needed to contribute to his country. Huang Danian developed advanced cameras that can see through the Earth’s crust so that it can be analysed without having to dig into it, He set up a state-of-the-art lab. His passion and drive enabled him to propel China’s deep earth exploration technology into a world-leading position. He also contributed to China’s lunar probe Yutu being landed on the moon in 2013 and the launch of the spacecrafts Shenzhou-11 and Tiangong-2 in 2016.2 How do you understand “... to celebrate a life that burned so bright, but was so short”?CRITICAL THINKINGREADING CLUB 2THE IMPORTANCE OF FAILUREWhen the world-famous author J. K. Rowling gave a speech at a Harvard University graduation ceremony, some may have been a little surprised by the topic she chose: “The Benefits of Failure”.Rowling’s first novel was rejected by 12 publishers before it was finally published, yet paradoxically1 , it was this experience that helped her to succeed: “Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learnt no other way. I discovered that l had a strong will, and more discipline than l had expected.”The late Apple CEO Steve Jobs experienced failure early in his career, when he was fired from the company he had co-founded, He felt despair and rejection. However, it was, in his view, “the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life.”Even Bill Gates has experienced failure. His first company was called Traf-O-Data, but unfortunately, its product didn’t work. It was a total disaster. But what Gates learnt from this experience helped lay the groundwork for the global success that is now Microsoft, He didn’t make the same mistake twice.Talented fashion designer Vera Wang has built a global fashion empire, yet life wasn’t always so straightforward. A dedicated ice skater as a young woman. Wang was bitterly disappointed when she did not make the 1968 US Olympic team. She gave up sport and joined Vogue as an assistant editor, but was crushed. After 15 years at the magazine, she was passed over for promotion to editor-in-chief. However. this setback prompted her to set up her own bridal fashion label. The rest is history.Ang Lee, a worldwide-famous director, wasn’t successful either as a student or as an actor. Twice falling the college entrance examination at home, Lee turned to study drama in the US, but his poor English prevented him from becoming an actor. After being accepted for a directing major, Lee spent six years looking for opportunities to direct a film, but was only asked to look after filming equipment. He then spent most of his time writing plays which were rejected by more than 30 companies within two weeks. During six years with no income he had to depend on his wife. ln the end. with his wife’s encouragement and his determination, all his efforts finally paid off.All these individuals share something in common: At tough moments in their lives, they showed grit. But what is “grit” exactly? Put simply, it’s a passion for something and the determination to work hard and to stick to it. It’s very easy to give up when we hit setbacks, but people who have grit keep going.So, how can we become “grittier”? This is where the importance of failure comes in: If we can learn how to manage failure, we’ll learn how to succeed. By working through a series of failures, we’re better prepared for the bigger challenges we’ll face in the adult world: We’ll have the resilience2 we need to keep going. We’ll have true grit.NOTES1 paradoxically adv.自相矛盾地 2 resilience n.适应力GENERAL UNDERSTANDING1 What did J. K. Rowling learn from her failures?Failure taught her things about herself that she could have learnt no other way.
