If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?  1   But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can't I think?"

  2   Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to get help from reading．

Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you．  3  Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

This is nothing but creativity．  4   Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．

【小题1】What kind of people will probably answer this advertisement?

On Sept. 11, an unseen enemy launched an attack on economic, military and governmental

Landmarks(标志) of the United States.

Beyond the tremendous(巨大的) loss of innocent lives and physical property, the attack was clearly aimed at the ideals of America—our values and the economic system that has made the U.S. economy the envy of the world.

Those responsible for these acts portray(描绘)the United States as the embodiment(化身)of all that is evil

With globalization and the worldwide economy it has spawned. They use the failures of globalization as an excuse to exploit their millions of constituents in the underdeveloped world.

Sometime soon, the U.S. military will strike back against those who it is determined have committed these acts. A military response is appropriate – some would say overdue(期待已久). But even if the military objective is achieved, that alone will not get to the heart of the matter.

It is crucial that the U.S. economy return to full speed ahead and continue to be the driving force behind expansion of the global economy.

Globalization, or at least the present phase of it, generally is viewed as having started with the end of the Cold War in 1989. And for all its shortcomings, the free flow of goods, services, capital and labor across the borders of the world’s trading nations — the process that has come to be called globalization—still offers the best chance to fulfill the dreams of so many of the world’s poor.

1.The attack on Sept. 11 caused _____.

A. loss to both the military forces and the ordinary citizens in the U.S.

B. a large variety of losses among the American people

C. greater loss to the American government than the citizens

D. less loss in the economy of the U.S. than the American ideals

2.The unseen enemy launched the attack because ________.

A. some people were jealous of the richness of the United States

B. the development of globalization frightened those who were conservative

C. everything evil might be thought to have something to do with the U.S.

D. the United States was considered the most evil country all over the world

3.According to the writer, a military response ________.

A. will be successful very soon

B. cannot make any sense to the matter

C. is really hard to some extent

D. will prove justifiable and necessary

4.What benefit will the globalization be of?

A. It will bring the expansion of the world’s economy.

B. The poor will become rich overnight if it is realized.

C. Nations will be too friendly to start a war against each other.

D. The borders between the nations will be abandoned soon.

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Economical factors are of great importance in international affairs.

B. The event on Sept. 11 has slowed down the process of globalization.

C. Military forces are necessary in the course of the development of economy.

D. The progress of globalization depends on the recovery of American economy.
