How to Be Creative
Most of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. 1. The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.
1. Get out of your comfort zone
We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. 2. In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.
2. Try different things
If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. 3. Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is.
4.
Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. 5. The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.
A. Take action
B. Seek several options
C. Think from the other person’s point of view.
D. If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree.
E. The truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.
F. We continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do.
G. We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into reality.
Who is there among us that hasn't dreamed of having his or her own small ( maybe, several years later, even big) business, and having wonderful freedom, both from a boss and from the time clock: the freedom to make up our own rules for our work, and our own plans--arranging our own hours of work? That way work would be both painless and fun. Or, so we imagine.
Well, in fact it isn't quite as simple as that. Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business. But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldn't think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month's vacation. It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week, and if there is a day off, that day might need to be devoted to accounting(算账).
But this negative picture doesn't destroy the beautiful hopes. The possibility of getting something wonderful in return--both material and mental--continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.
1.From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes_______.
A. to rule others B. to be his or her own boss
C. to get a time clock D. to be free from work
2.Most new business owners have to_______.
A. work more than 10 hours a day
B. devote himself to accounting
C. fly to some places in the world
D. have a day off in a week
3.The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because_______.
A. people love beautiful things by nature
B. people have a strong desire to seek personal gains
C. small businesses make big money each year in the US
D. small businesses have advantages over big companies.
4.Which is the main idea of the passage?
A. Many people have dreamed of having his or her own small business.
B. Being your own boss is painless and fun.
C. Business owners often work seventy or eighty hours a week.
D. Although being your own boss is not easy, many people are starting their own businesses to get something wonderful in return.
Neil Armstrong was the first man____ on the moon in July 1969.
A. to land B. landing C. Landed D. lands
Miss sending letters? Try Lettrs! This new service brings back the art of letter writing by marrying it to the Internet.
Lettrs, a new site, is attempting to bring back the old-fashioned idea of letter writing by providing a space that feels a little bit like a writing desk.
Of course, there’ll be purists who say that to truly enjoy letter writing you must do it on fancy letter paper and envelope in the mail is part of the fun. And if you’re into that sort of thing, go for it. But I can’t be the only one who is now so much faster at typing that writing by hand is painfully slow. Nor can I be the only one who likes to write on a whim (一时兴起) when I’m going to be on a crowded train or airplane, both of which are situations where writing on the computer is far easier.
The site tries, pretty seriously, to approximate(接近) what it’s like to have your very own writing desk and paper to choose from (which comes in various prints and colors) as well as corresponding（通信）types of prints and cursive writing (草写体) that come out on your screen as you write. There’s also a “desk drawer” for letters you’ve already sent, a “fridge” to post letters publicly, a “kitchen counter” for letters you have just received, and “shoebox” to store your letters in.
And if you need inspiration there are even old-style letters that are great examples of the kind of correspondence people used to send. Lettrs is such a great idea, because you get the best parts of communicating online (typing rather than writing, the speed, no lost mail, and it’s free! ) with the nice parts of a letter－the sense of sitting down to write, quietly, to one person in a meaningful way.
Who would you write to?
1.How does Lettrs work according to the text?
A. By providing real paper for letter writers.
B. By making room for people to write letters.
C. By supplying writing desks to letter writers.
D. By combining letter writing with the Internet.
2.It can be inferred from the text that the author_________.
A. is one of the purists
B. prefers writing to typing
C. always hopes to get paper letters
D. likes using Lettrs to write letters
3.A Lettrs user can find a newly received letter in or on a“_________”.
A. desk drawer B. fridge
C. kitchen counter D. shoebox
4.What is the main purpose of the author writing the text?
A. To advise readers to use Lettrs.
B. To tell readers how to write letters.
C. To persuade readers to write letters.
D. To show the advantage of the Internet.
5.What is the text mainly about?
A. An old art of letter writing.
B. A new service of letter writing.
C. The advantages of letter writing.
D. The development of letter writing.
