46、rcial fame. Then, in 1943, de Mille choreographed Oklahoma!, a musical show that enjoyed nearly instant success. In the coming years, Oklahoma! would run for an incredible 2,212 performances, both around the nation and abroad. In 1955, the film version won an Academy Award. But the success of Okla

47、homa! didn’t bring her much happiness. She thought that her work on Oklahoma! was only average compared to some of her other creations. She later said, “After the opening of Oklahoma!, I suddenly had unexpected success for a work I thought was only fairly good, after years of neglect for work I thou

48、ght was fine. I began to think that perhaps my entire scale of values was untrustworthy. I talked to Martha.” Martha was Martha Graham, perhaps the most influential dance choreographer of the 20th century. (Although not as well-known by the general public, Graham has been compared to other creative

49、 geniuses like Picasso or Frank Lloyd Wright.)

And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor

55、are gaining popularity as an alternative to traditional houses. These 20-or 40-foot containers can be obtained for a little as several hundred US dollars apiece, and it’s not surprising that some industry professionals and even city planners consider them the future of home building. Below are detai

56、ls of some amazing homes made out of shipping containers. London Container City(I and II) London’s Container City first sprang up in the heart of the docklands in 2001. It took just five months to complete the original 12 work studios. Shortly after that, a fourth floor of studios and living apart

57、ments was built on top of these. The first container city was so successful that another — Container City II — was added to it.

Amsterdam Keetwonen Amsterdam’s massive Keetwonen complex houses 1,000 students and it is the largest container city in the world. The ho

63、me Challenges C. Home in a Steel Box D. Housing Options and Solutions (C) On August 29th, as Hurricane Dorian tracked towards America’s east coast, Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla, an electric-car maker, announced that some of his customers in the storm’s path would find that their cars had sud

64、denly developed the ability to drive farther on a single battery charge. Like many modern vehicles, Mr. Musk’s products are best thought of as internet-connected computers on wheels. The cheaper models in Tesla’s line-up have parts of their batteries disabled by the car’s software in order to limit

65、their range. At the tap of a keyboard in Palo Alto, the firm was able to remove those restrictions and give drivers temporary access to the full power of their batteries. Mr. Musk’s computerized cars are just one example of a much broader trend. As computers and connectivity become cheaper, it mak

66、es sense to bake them into more and more things that are not, in themselves, computers, creating an “internet of things”. Such a world will bring many benefits.

Businesses will get efficiency, as information about the physical world that used to be uncertain becomes concrete and analyzable. In the long term, though, the most obvious effects will be in how the world works. Ever more companies will
