10、 What might be good for you is probably bad for someone or something else. What we usually consider to be good is rarely beneficial to everyone: it depends on who you are and where you stand. As Shakespeare said in Hamlet, there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. And our divers

11、e thinking on good is reflected by the 50 or more definitions for the word “good” offered by most dictionaries. The same goes for innovation.

But there is at least one truth: all innovations have good and bad effects regardless of the intention of the innovators. If we accept this, we can re

16、evaluate our judgment on innovations. 語篇導(dǎo)讀　本文主要論述了創(chuàng)新的好壞，作者認為任何創(chuàng)新都有利有弊，我們可以重新評估對創(chuàng)新的判斷。 4．What's the main idea of the first paragraph? A．It's hard to please all.
