Have you ever made contact with the creative spirit, that certain something hard to describe, but full of good—and sometimes great—ideas? It is more than an occasional great thought. When we feel the moving of the creative spirit, it brings to life a style of being: a lifetime filled with the desire to invent, to explore new ways of doing things, and to turn dreams into reality.

That flash of inspiration is the final moment of a process marked by unique stages—the basic steps in creative problem-solving. The first stage is preparation, when you look for any information that might be important. It's when you let your imagination run free.

But one barrier(障碍) is the inside voice of judgment that locks up our creative spirit within the limits of what we think acceptable. It's the voice that whispers to you, "They'll think I'm foolish," or "That will never work." But we can learn to recognize this voice of judgment and have the courage to discount its unhelpful advice.

Once you have thought about all the relevant(相关的) pieces and pushed your mind to the limits, you can let the problem remain and take in all you have gathered. It's a stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness. As the saying goes, "You sleep on it."

We are more open to creative thoughts from the unknowing mind when we are not really thinking of anything. That is why daydreams are so useful in the search for creativity. Anytime you can just daydream and relax is useful in the creative process: a shower, long drives, a quiet walk, etc.

With luck, daydreaming will lead to a light turning on above your head, when all of a sudden the answer will come to you as if from nowhere. This is the popular stage—the one that usually gets all the glory and attention, the moment that people sweat and long for, the feeling "This is it!" But the thought alone is still not a creative act. The final stage is translation, when you take your creative thought and transform it into action; it becomes useful to you and others.

1.In Paragraph 1, “the moving of the creative spirit” probably means ________.

A. preparation B. exploration

C. problem-solving D. inspiration

2.According to the article, what keeps us from creativity?

A. Having less information to form a good idea.

B. Relying on others during the creative process.

C. Caring about other people’s opinions about us.

D. Thinking about too many ideas at the same time.

3.What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?

A. The unknowing mind is very difficult for us to understand.

B. Creativity arrives when we aren’t focused on anything.

C. Daydreaming is useless and has nothing to do with creativity.

D. Showers, long drives and quiet walk are good for our bodies.

4.When does creativity become useful to us and others?

A. When thought is turned into action.

B. When people understand our ideas.

C. When the popular stage is reached.

D. When we think “This is it!”.

5.Which of the following would the author probably support?

A. The creative spirit means an occasional great thought.

B. Others’ voice of judgment allows us to ignore barriers.

C. Creative problem-solving calls for barrier-free imagination.

D. Daydreaming is sure to bring a sudden answer to a problem.

Peter Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.

When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.

Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.

People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.

Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."

1.For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _______.

A. improving worker's houses

B. helping people to save money

A. he lost all his money

B. he did not buy enough land

____.

A. 1771 B. 1816 C. 1825 D. 1860

Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40 percent in a decade，UK scientists will report today．

Wide uptake of cholesterol—busting statin drugs(降胆固醇药)，healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks，stroke and other cardiovascular(心血管的)problems．

However，heart disease remains Britain’s biggest killer．

The new study，by experts at Oxford University，shows there has been a 44.4 percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6 percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011．

The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe．They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe，with 342 deaths as a result of heart disease per 100，000 men in 2011，and 232 per 100，000 women．

Some nations-including Ukraine，Macedonia and Moldova—see more than 1,000 heart deaths per 100，000 of the population．

Overall，heart disease causes 45 percent of all deaths across Europe，but only 27 percent in the UK．The study，led by Dr Nick Townsend，showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age．

But researchers said that across Europe it still causes more than 1.4million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700，000 deaths in under 65s．Dr Townsend said：‘Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41 per cent among men．’

Parents are fighting for their child’s right to rest across the country. Twenty-three elementary schools in Orange County, Florida, have been cutting back on rest, and even canceling it to increase class time.

In a recent Orange County School Board meeting, parents demanded that rest time be carried out in all local schools for all students. Angela Browning, a parent in the area, said that schools’ rest is ranging from zero to 30 minutes per day. “Five-year-olds not getting rest means abuse,” said Browning, whose twins in the second grade benefit from taking a break and learn better.

The main reason for reducing the rest time is Common Core exams including math, language arts and literacy, where the students’ performance often controls teachers’ pay and sometimes teachers may lose their jobs. Many teachers are using that extra 20 minutes that would have been spent on the schools’ scores, everybody is stressful,” said Diana Moore, president of the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association.

The decision of whether reducing rest takes place, and for how long is up to each school’s rule. “Florida law requires that districts provide 900 teaching hours during the school year,” Florida’s Department of Education press secretary Cheryl Etters said in a statement. “Whether test is part of the school day is a decision made by the school board.”

Reducing test also can take away an opportunity for children to learn social skills, according to many experts. “In society, who cares if you have straight A’s and you get a scholarship to Harvard if you lack social skills?” said Mallet, a mother of two children.

1.What will Angela Browning agree with?

A. Kids of five years old had better get more break time.

B. Proper rest time improves children’s learning efficiency.

C. The more rest children have, the higher grades they will get.

D. Elementary schools should limit kids’ rest time to 30 minutes.

2.What drives so many teachers to reduce students’ rest time?

A. Parents’ demand

B. Students’ lack of social skills

C. Students’ bad behavior

D. The link between their pay and school’s scores

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Social skills are more important than high scores

B. Whether students get A’s in school is very important

C. Graduates from Harvard can’t find good jobs.

D. Rest time has nothing to do with students’ social skills

4.What’s the main idea of the text?

A. The government is to order schools to increase rest time.

B. Students expect to get more time to play in school.

C. Parents struggle for the rest right for their kids in school.

D. Teachers’ pay is related to their performance in teaching.

When it comes to President Obama，most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha，however，has been kept a little more under wraps.

The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House，as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children：

The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips，even if it's not required by their school.

Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekend，and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.

Malia and Sasha have to play two sports：one they choose and one selected by their mother.

Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服)before she leaves for college.

The girls have to eat their vegetables，and if they say they are not hungry，they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.

While these might be shocking to some，Michelle said，“They're not little princesses. It's just basic rules，boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”

Michelle also mentions another set of rules：

The girls must do their chores(家务)，though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.

They must play a team sport, because it's about learning how to play on a team，how to lose and how to win gracefully.

It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well ­rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?

1.What's the passage mainly about?

A.The first family rules.

B.The first family daily life.

C.How to be good parents.

D.How to be good children.

2.What do the underlined words “under wraps” in Para 1 probably mean?

3.What has to be followed after the girls' every trip?
