3.We often think of the great inventors such as Thomas Edison or Steve Jobs as the"creative".Or we read stories like that of Elizabeth Holmes,who developed a simpler,less painful way to test blood,which has turned her into the youngest female billionaire in the world.
    Creativity and innovation(革新)in the day-to-day life start with looking at things differently and taking on the perspectives(观点) of the others.After you've taken the view of the others,start testing.New perspectives on problems can give you lots of ideas about how to improve things,but until you try some of those ideas you will never know which is the right choice.Don't get stuck in analyzing all of your options without testing at least some of them first.If testing isn't really feasible(可行的)with your specific situation,talk to a number of different people about your ideas and problems.
    Once you have the data and feedback,give yourself some space to think.One thing we can learn from some of the great creative thinkers of our time is that they take time away from work to think and let their ideas develop.There is a story of Newton who mistook his watch for an egg and had it boiling while he was lost in thought in his workshop.Creativity and innovation aren't just for the special few who are blessed with the insight into future.We can't all be like Henry Ford,knowing that while customers say they want faster horses,what they really want are powered cars.But we can learn to develop creative thinking in everything we do.
    Talk to others about your perspective and the importance of testing and feedback and show your passion for innovating in all areas to get help from them.That good mindset,along with your ability to follow through,will accelerate your success.

B.They worked hard and never gave up.

14.Texting(发短信)walkers aren't just an annoyance to other walkers,Australian researchers armed with movie special-effects technology have determined scientifically that they're threats to themselves.Using motion-capture technology similar to that used for films,researchers concluded that texting while walking not only affects balance but also the ability to walk in straight line.
"Some people like checking emails while walking to work in the morning"said the study co-author Hoorn,"but they may not know it has a serious effect on the safety of themselves".Other facts have also proved this.A tourist from Taiwan walked off a pier near Melbourne last month while checking Facebook,bringing a sudden and icy end to a penguin-watching visit.Another person who was too wrapped up in his phone to notice dangers walked straight into the fountain in front of a shopping mall.
The Australian study involved 27 volunteers,a third of whom admitted having knocked into objects while texting.They were asked to walk 8.5 meters three times-once without phones,once while reading text and once while writing text,when eight cameras recorded their actions.
They found the volunteers using the phone walked slower,and,more seriously,they locked their arms and elbows in like"robots",which forced their heads to move more,throwing themselves off balance."In a pedestrian(步行的)environment,inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for traffic accidents",said Mr.Hoorn."The best thing to do is to step aside and stop,or keep off the phone."
Authorities world-wide have taken note.Signs on Hong Kong's subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones.Police and transport authorities have highlighted the danger in Singapore,where the Straits Times newspaper recently declared cellphone-distracted road crossing as"bad habit No.2"contributing to the rising number of road deaths.Some U.S.states,including New York and Arkansas,are considering bans on what they're calling phone jaywalking(走路不遵守交通规则).

28.According to the passage,people texting while walking usuallyC.
A.do not influence other walkers        B.do harm to their eyes
C.put themselves in danger                D.can still walk straight
29.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to"wrapped up"in Paragraph 2?B
A.absent-minded          B.absorbed
C.annoyed                    D.Confused
30.The two examples in Paragraph 2are given in order toA.
A.show texting walkers may harm themselves
B.prove texting walkers are threats to others
C.analyze the causes of the danger
D.amuse the readers
31.About the Australian study,we know thatD.
A.the volunteers using phones while walking moved normally
B.ten volunteers admitted having bumped into things while texting
C.the volunteers were divided into three groups during the study
D.texting walkers are exposed to greater possibility of traffic accidents.
11.An early morning winter storm had brought several inches of snow to my small town in the mountains.Schools were canceled,roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed.Still,I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside.The snow got all over my shoes.The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes.My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation(预想)of the shoveling(铲雪)I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.
Yet,when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground,I couldn't help but smile a bit.It was so beautiful.It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass.In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow(雪犁) on the road,the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside,enjoying their way off from school.
The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past.I remembered catching snowflakes (雪花) on my tongue,building snowmen,making snow angles,running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children.Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore(疼痛的).I turned up my head,stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it.It tasted so fresh and clean.It tasted like youth,like joy and like love.
May you always feel young in spirit,no matter how old or achy your body may be.May you always delight in the simple joys of life.May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children.And may you always give your love,your light,your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.

25.What was the author's first reaction when he knew it snowed heavily?A
A.He was upset.B.He was happy.C.He was thankful.D.He was moved.
26.From which senses did the author describe the joy of having snow?D
A.Taste and smell.B.Sight and smell.C.Smell,hearing and taste.D.Sight,hearing and taste.
27.What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article?D
A.Appreciate every snowstorm you spend with your family.
B.Snow brings both fun and trouble.
C.Memories can change our opinion.
D.We should stay young at heart.

I'm writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host families of the British students.
We have a large and clean house,which lies in a beautiful area of the city.I'm good at English and my parents are both professors of English,so I'm sure we won't have any difficulty communicating with English speakers.My father is an excellent driver and we will be very glad to show foreign students around some nearby places of interest in our own car.Last month we received two American students.We had a great time.Besides,my mother cooks well,so the students will be able to enjoy delicious Chinese food.
I would greatly appreciate it if I could have the chance to make friends with them.
Looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Xiaoming.
