What do you need for an invention to be a success?

Money also helps. The Frenchman Denis Papin had the idea for a steam engine almost a hundred years before James Watt was born. Denis never had enough money to ____47____ one.

You also need to be patient. It took scientists nearly eighty years to invent a light bulb. ____48____ , you shouldn't be too slow. In the 1870s, Elisha Gray developed plans for a telephone.

Almost the same designs had arrived just two hours earlier. The young man who sent them was Alexander Graham Bell. He is remembered as the inventor of the telephone.

Of course what you really need is a wonderful idea. If you haven't got one, a walk in the countryside and a careful look at ____50____ can help. The Swiss scientist, George de Mestral, had the idea for Velcro ( 粘扣 ) when he found his clothes covered in sticky seed pods after a walk in the countryside.
