Around 80 examples of failed products, business and ideas are showed in the newly opened museum in
Sweden. It is to celebrate modern history’s ____45____ designs—from Coca-Cola Blak, a coffee-inspired drink,
to Bic pens made just for women.
Besides showing long-forgotten failure, founder Dr. Samuel West is on a task to help us learn from our
mistakes. Samuel set up the museum after growing ____46____ success stories. He said understanding bad
designs could be more valuable than making good designs.
“Most of all creative projects fail, and learning is the only way to turn failure into success.” according to themuseums website. “I hope that visitors take home two ____47____: that failure is connected with success, and that
they should understand the importance of learning from failure,” said Dr. West.

was to encourage organizations to be better at learning from failure instead of ignoring (无视) them and pretend

failure.”

Your grandfather is sitting in the living room working on a crossword puzzle on a Saturday morning. He thinks
these word puzzles are fun, but he also does them for another ___61___. He knows that brain games, like
crosswords, help build his “mental muscles.”
The term “mental muscles” describes your brain’s ability to finish ___62___ tasks. Like the muscles in your
body, your brain’s “muscles” need exercise. While your brain works all the time, that work does not necessarily
exercise your brain.
___63___, sometimes your brain just needs time to relax and play. It is believed that brain games, like
crossword puzzles, make your brain work while playing. They build your concentration by making you focus on
some skills for a long time. For example, when doing a Sudoku puzzle, you focus on organization. Other games
that may improve brain power are jigsaw puzzles, mahjong(麻将)and chess. They can help you to ___64___
patterns(图案), solve problems and memorize information.
Games build your brain by making you think differently than you normally do. For example, crosswords use
clues to help you fill in a grid(方格) with words. A crossword clue might be “a fruit with yellow skin.”. Your
answer must fit in the grid. The word for this clue has six boxes. To fill in those boxes, you need to answer the clue
with the word “banana.” Other words in the puzzle share some of the same letters. Because of this, answers to
previous clues help you find answers to other clues. Crosswords make you remember the words you know and also
help you learn new words. ___65___, filling out crosswords builds vocabulary and memory. When choosing a
game, choose something that will improve a skill you are working on. It should challenge you. If it does not, it will
not make your brain work hard enough. But a puzzle that is too hard isn’t any fun. So ___66___ something that is
fun for you, and enjoy building your brain.
