Passage 1

(09·上海)

Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are   50  .Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to   51  it. Creativity isn’t always  52  with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time  53  think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.

Making connections This technique involves taking  54  ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words  55  with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the  56  to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to but a friend an original  57  ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.

NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t  58  . You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new  59  .If your goal is to learn to ski,  60  , you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now   61   this to reality.  Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January.

Be someone else! Look at the situation from a   62  point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the  63  in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their   64  . The best fishermen think like fish!

50. A. wrong          B. unbelievable       C. reasonable        D. realistic
