factors,I would single out thecountrys excellent elementary schools;a labor force thatwelcomed the new technology;the practice of giving premiumsto inventors;and above all the American genius for nonverbal,spatial thinking about things technologicalWhy mention the elementary schools?Because thanks tothese schools our early mechanics,specially in the NewEngland and Middle Atlantic states,were generally literateand at horn,in arithmetic and in some aspects of geometryand trigonometryAcute foreign observers related American adaptiveness andinventiveness to this educational advantage As a member ofa British commission visiting here in 1853 reported,With amind prepared by thorough school discipline,the American boydevelops rapidly into the skilled workmanA further stimulus to invention came from the premiumsystem,which preceded our patent system and for years ranparallel with itThis approach,originated abroad,offeredinventors medals,cash prizes and other incentivesIn theUnited States,multitudes of premiums for new devices wereawarded at country fairs and at the industrial fairs in majorcitiesAmericans flocked to these fairs to admire the newmachines and thus to renew their faith in the beneficence oftechnological advanceGiven this optimistic approach to technologicalinnovation,American workers took readily to that specialkind of nonverbal thinking required in mechanicaltechnologyAs Eugene Ferguson has pointed out,Atechnologist thinks about objects that cannot be reduced tounambiguous verbal descriptions;they are dealt with in hismind by a visual,nonverbal processThe designer and theinventorare able to assemble and manipulate in theirminds devices that as yet do not existThis nonverbal spatial thinking can be just as creativeas painting and writingRobert Fulton once wrote,Themechanic should sit down among levers,screws,wedges,wheels,etclike a poet among the letters of the alphabet,considering them as an exhibition of his thoughts,in which anew arrangement transmits a new ideaWhen all these shaping forces-schools,open attitudes,the premium system,a genius for spatial thinking-interactedwith one another on the rich USmainland,they producedthat American characteristic,emulationToday that wordimplies mere imitationBut in earlier times it meant afriendly but competitive striving for fame and excellenceAccording to the author,the

statements about earlyAmerican mechanics is TRUE?AThey had received privileged home trainingBThey contributed to disciplined school managementCThey are the result of technological developmentDThey benefited a lot from their mathematical knowledge84、According to the passage,the premium system _Awas an American inventionBappeared before the patent systemCis as important as the patent systemDis

havesome advice：Wear redTheir survey of four sports atthe2004 Olympic Games in Athens shows competitors were morelikely to win their contests if they wore red uniforms or redbody armor Across a range of sports,we find that wearingred is consistently associated with a higher probability ofwinning,report Russell AHill and Robert ABarton of theUniversity of Durham in EnglandTheir findings are inThursdays issue of the journal NatureRed coloration is associated with aggression in manyanimalsOften it is sexually selected so that scarletmarkings signal male dominanceJust think of the red

survey,the anthropologists analyzed theresults of four combat sports at the summer games：boxing,tae kwon do,Greco-Roman wrestling and freestylewrestlingIn those events,the athletes were randomlyassigned red protective gear and other sportswearAthleteswearing red gear won more often in 16 of 21 rounds ofcompetition in all four eventsThe effect was the sameregardless of weight classes,too：19 of 29 classes hadmore red winners,and only four rounds had more blue winners,The red effect also might come into play in teamsportsThe anthropologists made a preliminary analysis ofthe Euro 2004 international soccer tournament,in which teamswore jerseys of different colors in different matchesTheyfound that five teams scored more goals and won more oftenwhen they wore shirts that were predominantly red,as opposedto blue or white jerseysScientists dont precisely know how wearing red mightgive athletes an advantageBut the color delivers implicitmessages of vigor and dangerWhen
