138. "Only through mistakes can there be discovery or progress."失败是成功之母
Agree
1. To begin with, the contention accords with our everyday experience as humans from early childhood through adulthood.
2. This same principle also applies on a societal level. Consider, however, how we progress in our scientific knowledge.
3. The value of trial-and-error is not limited to the sciences. In government and politics, progress usually comes about through dissension and challenge—that is, when people point out the mistake of those in power.

164. "Sometimes imagination is a more valuable asset than experience. People who lack experience are free to imagine what is possible and thus can approach a task without constraints of established habits and attitudes."
有时候想象力是比经验更有价值的财富。缺少经验的人得以自由的想象任何可能性，并且由此可以达成一个目标而不受既定习惯和态度的限制。
I fundamentally agree with the speaker’s assertion; however, as the speaker implies, it is impossible not to overstate the comparative value of imagination.
1. One need only observe young children as they go about their daily lives to appreciate the role that pure imagination can play as an aid to accomplishing tasks.
2. The speaker’s contention also finds ample empirical support in certain forms of artistic accomplishment and scientific invention.
3. Of course, there are many notable exceptions to the rule that imagination unfettered by experience breeds remarkable insights and accomplishments.
4. On the other hand, it is important not to take this assertion about artistic and scientific accomplishment too far.

177. "The study of an academic discipline alters the way we perceive the world. After studying the discipline, we see the same world as before, but with different eyes."
对于一门学科的研究会改变我们对世界的看法。在学习这门学科之后，我们看到的世界一如既往，但是我们本身的角度和眼光已然不同。
1. Through the earnest pursuit of knowledge—particularly in history and literature—we reveal to ourselves the flaws and foibles of other humans whose lives we study and read about.
2. Through education we begin to see flaws not only in people but also in ideologies that we had previously embraced on pure faith.

3. While education helps us see the flawed nature of our previously cherished ideas, paradoxically it also helps us see ideas we previously rejected out of hand in a different light—as having some merit after all.4. Education in the arts alters forever the way we perceive the aesthetic world around us.
