四、(2025·苏州市姑苏区一模)信息还原。
People often find it hard to make some inventions. So they think only a few people can be inventors! In fact, everyone can be an inventor if they want and are willing to start.
1 To be an inventor, here are some wrong ideas you should avoid.
Wrong idea 1: 2
Well, inventing means creating something new, but the idea could also come from something that is already there. The Wright brothers, for example, got the ideas for building a "flying machine" from watching birds.
Wrong idea 2: Inventors are born, not made.
There are a lot of factors(因素) that make inventions possible. Take Mozart for example. He was born with a special talent for music.
3 His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practised for hours every day from the time he was in kindergarten. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was "99% hard work and 1% inspiration".
4 As one inventor said, "A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!"
Wrong idea 3: Inventors are always old people.
5 Here is an example of young inventors: Louis Brille went blind when he was a child. When he was 15, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
A. But other factors were also important for his creativity.
B. Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it's true.
C. Very successful creators also don't give up when they get something wrong.
D. An invention has to be something totally new.
E. Young people don't have the ability to make something new.
F. Believe that you can invent something when you are young.
G. Everyone agrees with the idea.
