16、ea”.Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to the sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of earl
17、y intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was w
18、hen the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. They had to know the depth and profile （起伏形状） of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this
19、matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings （测深） were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was lai
20、d, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs, it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea
21、.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition （考察）, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being pub

25、ter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didnt. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly
26、the first time, which can often be a problematic （存在问题的） victory. First-time success is usually a fluke （侥幸）. First-time failure, however, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn.In Africa they describe a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”. If youve spent enou
27、gh time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility （可信） their failures gave them.I earn my living by writing a daily new
28、spaper column. Each week I know that one column I write is going to be the worst column. I try my best every day. I have learned to love that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but
29、 in a better way.My younger daughter is a trapeze artist （荡秋千演员）. She spent three years practising a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, the
30、re was no point in subjecting （使服从于） her body to all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and
31、how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that its not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.28. Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail?A.
