　　In a recently published book, I came across some exercises with interesting names such as fishbone diagrams, lotus flowers and clustering．As I used these exercises in my classes, I noticed that students were interested．They said more and wrote more．They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them in groups．They were no longer passively waiting for the bell, but actively taking part in the lesson．I find that creativity can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency．

　　Creativity has become a popular word in recent years．Scholars in arts, psychology, business, education and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it．Robert J．Stemberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology．He defines creativity as “the ability to produce work that is both new(original)and appropriate(applicable to the situation)”．This definition is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way and to use it correctly and properly．Most scholars say there are two types of creativity：big “C” creativity and small “c” creativity．Big “C” creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs．Small “c” creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation our emphasis is on the latter．While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or Edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in a new way．

　　Burn rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money．My rate was ＄75,000 a month．Four months after my company was set up, I had only a quarter of the starting capital left in the bank．

　　Looking for guidance, I went to talk to my friend, Arthur Walworth about my new venture．“Times of great change always bring out the risk-takers,” he said．“And they leave winners and losers．My grandfather invested a lot of money in a project of Thomas Edison' s that ended up in failure．”

　　I was lost in thought at the notion(an idea or belief about something)of a Thomas Edison project ending in failure．Damn．It could happen to anybody!I must continue．

　　At that time CD-ROM sales had bombed, so investors were fleeing from the field．I didn't turn away from mine entirely, but instead linked it to the internet．

　　My plan was to offer consumers descriptions of home-design products by using a special software and let them modify the designs．Then we can enable them to get online professional and constructional help to have their houses built, decorated and furnished according to their own choice．

　　To realize my plan I needed investors, so I continued to meet regularly with venture capitalists．One said I had a great idea．But I needed to test it．Get the money somewhere．To get this money from a venture capitalist is going to cost my wife and my children!He turned down my request．

　　Wife?Children?I hardly remembered them．

　　I was working nonstop－struggling to turn the key in the lock, to find the right way ahead．The pressure was terrible．It was just at this time that my parents and sisters stepped up．Two hundred thousand dollars．A lot of money to them, invested in this crazy son and brother without a moment's hesitation．Dad and Mom had driven out from Chicago and seen the passion in my little office and the trouble at home．

　　With their help my company survived and has been prospering ever since．

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why．

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things． It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing． If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”． Look around you． With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new．

Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning． Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb． When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．

Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success． Why?

Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded． Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer．

But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake． Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again．

We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem． Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate （分配） these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again． Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career．

There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough．”

So go forth and make mistakes． And learn． And grow． And prosper（成功）．

63． From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______．

A． mistakes are unnecessary for development　 　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

B． we are afraid of trying new things　　　　　　　

C． it’s common for people to make mistakes　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

D． mistakes are better than not trying
64． The underlined word “eliminate” means _______．

A． avoid 　　　　　　　　　 B． remove 　　　　　　　 C． accept 　　　　　　　　 D． solve
65． According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is　 ．

A． avoiding making the same mistakes　　 　　 B． accepting the punishment willingly

C． taking consequences into account　　　 　 D． trying things out one by one

66． What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?

A． Never mind, I can always try again．B． I’d better stay out of trouble．

C． Ok! Now I can learn something． D． Look at this mess． Anyone would be upset．
