How to be more creative every day

Creativity isn’t something you either have or don’t have. In fact, it is something like playing the saxophone.【1】So read on to know how.

Be more curious.

It’s important to seek out new viewpoints every day. 【2】To involve this in your daily life, make sure to keep an open mind when you’re presented with an idea, and be curious as to what else is around the comer.

Give yourself space.

Letting every piece of information into your brain drags you from being creative. Try to apply a level of space into your everyday life. 【3】It helps to lead your thinking patterns away from potential distractions (潜在分心的事物), leaving much room to have creative ideas.

Try something new.

Frequent thinking patterns, in effect, cause you to be more likely to think the same things or make the same decisions over and over unless you get out of your comfort zone. 【4】Though not always easy, it does open up a whole new world of thinking!

【5】

Social media has created an environment where we’re constantly shown whether we’ve succeeded in the form of likes or comments, which leads us to doubt ourselves. However, creativity is a journey, and you’re learning every step of the way. Honestly, you’ll learn much more from that than a straight win anyway. So be confident and tell yourself you have already done well enough.

A. Learn from failure.

B. Remind yourself you’re good enough.

C. The 8 p. m. — 8 a. m. phone ban is a great way to begin.

D. Getting physical really helps to sort out your brain space.

E. But it’s not easy to feel or be automatically creative either.

F. Thus you can think and approach things from another angle.

G. Using your skills in a different area is a great way to think outside the box.

【答案】

【1】E

【2】F

【3】C

【4】G

【5】B

【解析】本文讲述了每天如何更具有创造性。

【1】考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前一句说“事实上，它就像玩萨克斯管。”后一句说“所以请继续了解如何去做。”故E项“但它不容易感受到或自动创新”承接上下文。

【2】考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前一句说“每天寻找新的观点是很重要的来”，故F项“因此你可以从另一个角度去思考和处理事情。”承接上一句话。

【3】考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句说要每天给自己空间，故C项 “从晚上八点到第二天早上八点关闭手机开始。”是对上一句的具体阐述。故选C。

【4】考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文说“频繁的思维模式，实际上使你更容易思考相同的事情或一遍又一遍作出相同的决定，除非你走出你的舒适区。”下一句说“虽然并不容易，但它确实开辟了一个全新的思维世界！”，故G项“在不同的领域使用你的技能是思考跨出禁锢的一个伟大的方式。”承接上下文。

【5】考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。文章最后一段讲述了要自信，相信自己会做的很好。故选B。

【题目】How to Become More Confident

Our confidence plays an important role in ability to achieve success and happiness. It affects our mental thought patterns, the way we speak and act, and the decisions we make in all areas of our lives. Confident people take more action, perform better, and are more likely to achieve their goals.【1】Lucky for us, confidence can be built and strengthened until it becomes natural, just as any other habit. It simply takes a little time, some effort, and a bit of attention.

Fail more often. The more challenges you take on, the more failures you’ll have, but learning that you can recover, get up and push forward builds confidence.

【2】Keep a list of successes, big and small. It’ll help you to see your abilities in a more positive and realistic light.

Start a conversation. When you find yourself in a social situation, don’t always turn to those people you’re comfortable with.【3】Eventually getting to know new people will become easier.

Don’t compare. Stop measuring yourself against others.【4】Making comparisons is a damaging and an inaccurate measure of success anyway.

Confidence helps you to be more secure in your abilities and more positive in your attitude. It also encourages you to be more assertive(坚定自信的) to take on more challenges, and to improve your skills.【5】The end result is a better outlook, more success, and a higher quality of life in all areas.

【题目】Is it OK for children to count on their fingers? Generations of pupils have been discouraged by their teachers from using their hands when learning maths. But a new research article published in Frontiers in Education shows using fingers may be a very important part of maths learning.

The article, by Professor Tim Jay of Sheffield Hallam University and independent researcher Dr Julie Betenson, substantiates what parents have long felt -- that the finger games children often play at home are central to their education.

The researchers worked with 137 primary pupils aged between six and seven. All the children were given different combinations of counting and number games to play -- but only some were given exercises which involved finger-training. Some pupils played games involving number symbols, such as dominoes, shut-the-box, or snakes and ladders. Other pupils were asked to play finger games, such as being asked to hold up a given number of fingers, or numbering fingers from 1 to 5 and then having to match one of them by touching it against the corresponding(对应) finger on the other hand, or following coloured lines using a particular finger. Both these groups did a little better in maths tests than a third group of pupils who had simply had 'business as usual' with their teachers. But the group which did both the counting and the finger games performed far better.

This study provides evidence that fingers provide children with a “bridge” between different representations of numbers, which can be verbal, written or symbolic. Combined finger training and number games could be a useful tool for teachers to support children's understanding of numbers.

【1】How did the author introduce the topic of the text?

A. By providing evidence B. By raising a question

C. By giving an example D. By making comparisons

【2】The underlined word “substantiates” in paragraph 2 most probably means “______”.

A. supports B. changes

C. ignores D. advertises

【3】What can we know about the research mentioned in the text?

A. It is carried out by two university professors

B. Its research subjects are mostly pre-school children

C. It is based on the comparison of two groups of children

D. Its findings should draw the attention of math teachers.

【4】What does the author think of children’s finger counting?

A. Boring B. Foolish

C. Helpful D. Unique
