If you look up the word “create” in the dictionary, you will find it means “to brig into being to cause to exist something each of us does daily.”

We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sonses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture（质地）, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.

A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining（重组） the old in new ways.” For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.

A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.

These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day-to-day activities.

A．To prepare a meal.

B．To arrange the furniture in a peculiar way.

A．a new thing can only be created at the basis of earlier things

B．a new thing is only a tale

C．we can seldom create new things

D．we can scarcely see really new things in the world

66．What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into

practice?

　　When I was twenty seven years old, I was a clerk in San Francisco, and an expert at stock（股票）. I was content with the prospect（前景）.

　　One day I ventured in a small boat too far, and was carried out to sea．Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small brig（双桅船）which was bound for London. When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket.

　　About ten o'clock on the following morning, thirsty and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place, when a child that was passing, towed （牵着）by a nurse-maid, threw a luscious（甘甜的）big pear--minus one bite--into the gutter（排水沟）. I stopped, of course, and fastened my desiring eye on that muddy treasure. My mouth watered for it, my stomach craved（恳求）it, my whole being begged for it. But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected my purpose, and of course I straightened up then, and looked indifferent（无关紧要的）, and pretended that I hadn't been thinking about the pear at all. This same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn't get the pear. I was just getting desperate（不顾一切的）enough to brave all the shame, and to seize it, when a window behind me was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of it, saying,

　　“Step in here, please.”

　　I was admitted by a well-dressed flunkey（仆役）, and shown into a sumptuous（华丽的）room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the servant. and made me sit down. They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me. I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but as I was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best I could.
