How to Release Creativity
According to most dictionaries. creativity is the ability to create. However, creativity is more than what is defined by the dictionary. It is an idea, a process, a thought。or a state of mind. One cannot learn to be creative because creativity is natural and unique to each individual. People should know that creativity doesn’t equal success. It equals the act of expressing. So. if at first the goal that is aimed for is not achieved, there is no need for worry or frustration.
Creativity can, however, be released by discovery. Some people need encouragement to help
release their creativity. There are quite a few ways to release it.
One way to release creativity would be to look for what can inspire you. Looking at the world and admiring the differences in people and places help. Creativity can be drawn from their beauty. A person can touch, taste, smell, hear, and see hundreds of different objects. Aromas from foods, textures of blankets, and sight of unusual objects can all give inspiration.
Many people are too concerned with how things should look. The focus should be on how it actually looks in the raw, to the human eye. Colors and shapes can be distorted(扭曲)by the mere fact that people want others to see it for what it is. It’s more difficult for someone to let go of all that and just let their creativity flow, unblocked.
Another way to get the creativity flowing is to research what other artists have done or are currently doing. Their cultures and biographies alone can be an inspiration. Examining their works can help some appreciate artistic expression. New techniques can even be drawn from their works.
Some people are even inspired by everyday events, like reading the newspaper or watching the news. Some can take other people’s situations and describe how it makes them feel. That is a way to release creativity. Controversial issues, such as War or abortion, can inspire writings like poems. They can be used to express death, loss, or tragedy. General topics such as religion or politics can branch off into many directions, sending creativity into overdrive.
Creativity is not about reaching a goal or being a perfectionist. It’s about being, feeling, and taking all that is inside and letting it out in one way or another. Creativity is not always expressed by paintings, drawings, or writings. One’s action is the main form to express creativity. Romance, for example, is a form of creativity. Love and emotion are inspired by one person for another. Taking something inside and then putting it back out into the world as another thing is the key of creativity. Knowing and loving someone so much that there is a need to express it is a very natural form of creativity.
Another form of expressing creativity is talking. Some people are more blessed in this area than in more obvious ones。such as painting or drawing. They Paint a “word picture”. Speeches can be centered around new ideas and thoughts. It can contain an of one’s being and transform it into either simple or complicated words.
Inspiration is vital to creativity. Even if it’s only a slight feeling or thought that inspires. Creativity can be released each time attempts are made to use the body as all outlet. Remember that creativity is not an art form, but that it forms art.

On April 22,2011we decided to go green every single day for an entire year.This meant doing 365 different green thingsand it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things.Rather than recycle and reduce our energywe had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up.It further requires that when opinions are from the oppositethe doctor doesn’t overreactwhich might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.So when I’m in the operating roomI ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I continue to encourage themsomeday someone will keep me from “landing_gear_up

It was  8    that I’d be able to climb all that way, for I was afraid that I might fall over in the dark and   9   my bag of candy. I might   10   my clothes on something.

Most recently, it’s very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews.

Naturally, it’s easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us. We—as parents—are so eager to protect our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them. As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself all the time that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me. So, I’ll let them fail.

I’ll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow. And failure—along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc.—will be part of growth for them. Call me the anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone is my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it today. From terrorism (恐怖主义) and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish.

My children are faced with hard situations in their own life almost each day, but they try to negotiate (协商) everything now. It’s a small price to help them learn a skill they’ll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don’t come with them on job interviews. 

1.Why do parents go along with their kids on job interviews?

A.Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties.

B.Because they think they can protect them from being hurt.

C.Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews.

D.Because their kids strongly request them to do so.

2.According to the author, what is helpful to kids’ development?

A.Protecting them.                        B.Keeping them safe.

C.Leaving them alone.                     D.Blaming them.

3.The author believes experiencing failure in life can make kids ___________.

A.become healthier than other kids

B.grow in this challenging world

C.develop all social skills

D.escape from natural disasters

4.If the writer’s boy goes to a job interview, she probably will ___________.

A.go with him to protect her kid from difficulty

B.stay home but give him directions over telephone

C.wait outside and talk with other parents

D.let him go to the interview by himself

5.Which of the following might be the best title of the text?

A.Never help your kids                     B.Let your kids fail

C.Go to the interview with your kids           D.Live without parents
