93SYMPATHY
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,And the river flows like a stream of glass;
5 When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
1And the faint perfume from its chalice
2 steals -I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
10 For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain
3 would be on the bough 4 a-swing;And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting -
I know why he beats his wing!
15 I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, -
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,20 But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings -
I know why the caged bird sings!

"Eureka!" means "I have found it!" Read this article about the role that chance has played in important
discoveries. Then answer the questions that follow. 1YOU WOULDN"T THINK something
as unscientific as accident could have played much of a role in the life of TimBerners-Lee, the brilliant British physicist
and computer scientist who in 1991 invented the World Wide Web. He conceived it and still controls a lot of how it operates from his unimposing office at the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology. In 1999, Time
placed Berners-Lee on its list of the "100Persons of the Century." No fewer than
seven different universities have awarded him honorary degrees. 2But the great breakthrough engineered
by this icon of cyberspace did occur, in part, by chance. "There was an element of serendipity," 1 says Arthur Molella, director of the Lemelson Center for the Study ofInvention and Innovation at the Smithsonian"s
National Museum of American History. "At
first, he was just noodling around, trying to find a way to organize his research files. So he began to develop a tool just for his own personal use." 3The "tool" was a software program
that, as Berners-Lee puts it, was "really useful for keeping track of all the random associations one comes across in real life, and [which] brains are supposed to be so good at remembering - but sometimes mine wouldn"t." He called it Enquire, and it worked so well, creating effective linkages between huge amounts of information, that it eventually became the basis for the revolution we now casually refer to as the Web. "It would be akin to a carpenter building a little cabinet for himself,"Molella says, "and suddenly discovering
he could store the entire world inside the thing. There was quite a bit of luck in it." 4The element of chance has helped
produce many of the most importantTim Berners-Lee sought a way
to organize his notes. So he created the World Wide Web.But I hate spam," he says, and
now directs the W3 Consortium, which regulates the Web and combats cyber nuisances.Eureka!

innovations in modern life. Many are created by it; others become successful because of it, and some fail for the same reason. As Mark Twain, an inventor himself, once scribbled in his notebook: "Name the greatest of all the inventors. Accident." If you don't believe it, go into your kitchen and look around. There might be a Teflon pan on the stove, a microwave oven above it,Post-its sticking out of cookbooks, matches
in a drawer; Coke, Popsicles and ketchup stashed in a refrigerator. Accident played a role in their invention. 5Happenstance
2 works in many ways. One is the observed event: the "invention" is the way the mind seizes upon an inconspicuous occurrence. The best known of these isAlexander Fleming's role in the discovery
of penicillin. One day in 1928 some mold drifted through an open window in a London hospital and landed in Fleming's petri dish, where he'd placed a culture of staphylococcus bacteria. What Fleming did next got him and two colleagues a Nobel Prize in 1945: he looked through the microscope. What he saw was the mold efficiently destroying the germs. Presto! The creation of penicillin began with that unlikely turn of events. 6But Robert Friedel, historian of
technology at the University of Maryland, cautions that "serendipity is no accident."What's important about an unintended
event, Friedel asserts, is the creative way it is used. As Louis Pasteur once said, "Chance favors only the prepared mind." 7Any of us might happen to see a cat
pull feathers through a birdcage; but whenEli Whitney saw that, he got the idea of
how to comb cotton mechanically. Hence the cotton gin. "Some people are just more likely to pay attention when they seequotesdbs_dbs7.pdfusesText_13[PDF] grade 8 math test with answers
