Most people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine? The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker’s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine. He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.【缺少答案，请补充】

In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The spider story is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time? Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway. The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to live with yourself even though you may have failed. Remember, you can’t win them all.【缺少答案，请补充】

For years teachers have tried ways of bringing humor into the classroom to keep kids engaged, and Mary Kay Morrison, the author of the book Using Humor to Maximize Learning, says brain research shows that it’s a good idea. “It improves learning and strengthens memories by gaining students’ attention and then helps them absorb the information,” she says. She notes that students surveyed on the topic say teachers who use humor are much more effective at inspiring them, engaging them, reducing their anxiety, exciting their interest in learning and developing positive teacher-student relationships. Experts say, however, that it has to be carried out properly to be effective. “A classroom without learning is a failed one, but the atmosphere can be playful and even joyful,” says Sean O’Brien, an award-winning English teacher at West Ranch High School in Stevenson Ranch, CA., who has gained attention for his humor. “It probably shouldn’t just be fun the way an amusement park is.” Morrison agrees but says it should be used often, and any teacher can try it. “It should be done intentionally with thought, but all types of teachers can use humor effectively if they work at it.” She notes that humor gets students’ attention because it typically involves the unexpected, which “stimulates the attentional center of the brain” which, in turn, increases the likelihood of information recollection. Then, she says, humor actually activates more of the brain than many other activities in a classroom. So, a student who is just listening, for instance, is using one part of the brain but the humor will add to the stimulation. Morrison notes that it also has other less obvious benefits — reducing stress for the teacher and the students, increasing creativity and energy in the classroom and creating and improving the atmosphere or culture. “Humor is a social lubricant (润滑剂),” she says. “It promotes trust, communication and goodwill, but must be done with thought and care.”【缺少答案，请补充】
