Does failure help or hurt us? Many famous people believe we learn from failure and need it to succeed. However, the positive effect of failure depends on the percent of failure, our reaction (反应) to it, and whether we have a plan ahead. We learn best from a little failure. How much? About 15%, according to a study. If a challenge is too easy, we can’t learn anything. If it is too difficult, we will stop trying. People learn fastest when they get the answer right 85% of the time. In one study with college students, researchers made an impossible task, so everyone failed. They divided the students into two groups. Researchers encouraged one group to pay attention to their feelings about failure. The other group focused on their own thoughts. Those who paid attention to their feelings about failure tried harder the second time. In a different study, some people took responsibility for their mistakes, and some didn’t. Those who took responsibility were more likely to succeed in a second task. After that, researchers asked college students to write an essay (文章). They gave half the students a plan for the essay. The others didn’t have one. Then the researchers stopped all students before they completed the task. Those students with a plan were more active to finish. Everyone experiences failure. Some people stop trying. Others try harder. The percent of failure, our reaction to it, and having a plan can make failure a positive experience. We need to take responsibility for our mistakes and prepare for the next time. Then failure can be a path to success. |

4 . With low temperatures and food shortage, winter is a terrible season for animals. Many animals enter hibernation (冬眠) to get through it. Hibernation can help cool the animal’s body and slow its heartbeat to just a few times per minute, for up to months at a time.
But why don’t humans hibernate? Our body is not fit for hibernation. Humans have only migrated into temperate and subarctic areas (温带和北极地附近) in the last hundred thousand years or so. That’s not quite long enough to evolve (进化) all the metabolic adaptations (代谢适应) we would need to hibernate, according to the BBC Science Focus magazine. For example, how to settle waste is a big challenge for human hibernation. Animals that hibernate are able to stop their defecation (排泄), and sometimes save energy by taking their waste. Unluckily, humans can’t do this. There are other challenges. Body temperature below 2.8℃ may hurt human’s stomach and cause pain. Cold temperature can also make people ill easily, according to Smith-sonian magazine.
In fact, humans don’t need to sleep through winter. We can use fire, clothes, houses and food to help us live in the cold.
Could humans hibernate in the future? According to University of Oxford in the UK, being able to hibernate would make such long-time journey less boring and save important energy for the astronauts. It’s likely for long-term space travel. From 2014, NASA has worked hard to do a research on it, for it will be a way to help develop long-term space travel, according to The Atlantic magazine.
