    Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative meaning.

    So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新). But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.

    Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become.

    But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.

    “The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,”says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind.“But we are taught instead to ‘decide’, just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider’.”She adds, however, that“to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”

    “All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re unaware,”she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.

    The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system—that anyone can do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will…and Ms. Markova’s business partner. “That’s a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.”This is where developing new habits comes in.

Brain researchers have discovered that      .

    A.the forming of new habits can be guided

    B.the development of habits can be predicted

    C.the regulation of old habits can be transformed

    D.the track of new habits can be created unconsciously

The underlined word“ruts”in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to       .

    A.zones    B.connections  C.situations   D.tracks

Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova’s view?

    A.Decision makes no sense in choices.

    B.Curiosity makes creative minds active.

    C.Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind.

    D.Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas.

The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us       .

    A.to give up our traditional habits deliberately

    B.to create and develop new habits consciously

    C.to resist the application of standardized testing

    D.to believe that old habits conflict with new habits

Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve get a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (标签). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting – whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.

This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.

An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source – batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device (装置), that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.

Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person ) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.

Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could he put every where and send information in smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.

RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to he a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly.” Predicts Dr. J. Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers, Accompanied by how many biscuits.

When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship – to – shore communication, not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.

The article is intended to             .

       A.warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology

       B.explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology

       C.convince people of the uses of RFID technology

       D.predict the applications of RFID technology

We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people          .

       A.will have no trouble getting date about others

       B.will have more energy for conversation

       C.will have more time to make friends

       D.won’t feel shy at parties any longer

Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of           .

       A.scanning devices

       B.radio waves

       C.batteries

       D.chips

Why are some people worried about RFID technology?

       A.Because children will be tracked by strangers.

       B.Because market competition will become more fierce.

       C.Because their private lives will be greatly affected.

       D.Because customers will be forced to buy more products.

The last paragraph implies that RFID technology           .

       A.will not be used for such matters as buying milk

       B.will be widely used, including for buying milk

       C.will be limited to communication uses

       D.will probably be used for pop music
