How to be more creative every day

Creativity isn’t something you either have or don’t have. In fact, it is something like playing the saxophone.1.So read on to know how.

• Be more curious.

It’s important to seek out new viewpoints every day. 2.To involve this in your daily life, make sure to keep an open mind when you’re presented with an idea, and be curious as to what else is around the comer.

• Give yourself space.

Letting every piece of information into your brain drags you from being creative. Try to apply a level of space into your everyday life. 3.It helps to lead your thinking patterns away from potential distractions (潛在分心的事物), leaving much room to have creative ideas.

• Try something new.

Frequent thinking patterns, in effect, cause you to be more likely to think the same things or make the same decisions over and over unless you get out of your comfort zone. 4.Though not always easy, it does open up a whole new world of thinking!

•5.

Social media has created an environment where we’re constantly shown whether we’ve succeeded in the form of likes or comments, which leads us to doubt ourselves. However, creativity is a journey, and you’re learning every step of the way. Honestly, you’ll learn much more from that than a straight win anyway. So be confident and tell yourself you have already done well enough.

A. Learn from failure.

B. Remind yourself you’re good enough.

C. The 8 p. m. — 8 a. m. phone ban is a great way to begin.

D. Getting physical really helps to sort out your brain space.

E. But it’s not easy to feel or be automatically creative either.

F. Thus you can think and approach things from another angle.

G. Using your skills in a different area is a great way to think outside the box.

科目：高中英語 來源：吉林省2017屆高三第五次模擬考試英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警覺). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze (凝視) starts to lose its focus — until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?

Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise (同樣地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.

1.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s ________.

A. sense of hearing B. sense of sight

C. sense of touch D. sense of smell

2.Babies are sensitive to the change in ________.

A. the size of cards

B. the color of pictures

C. the shape of patterns

D. the number of objects

3.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?

A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.

B. To see how babies recognize sounds.

C. To carry their experiment further.

D. To keep the babies’ interest.

4.Where does this text probably come from?

A. Science fiction.

B. Children’s literature.

C. An advertisement.

D. A science report.

Four great railway journeys

Travelling by rail holds a romantic and old-fashioned appeal that can’t be matched by flying or driving. By taking the slow route, you get to experience and interact with an area in a completely different way.

The Rocky Mountaineer

Where: Canada, from Vancouver to Banff, Jasper and Calgary.

When: In June, which is springtime in the Rockies, complete with blooming flowers and abundant wildlife.

Duration: between two and eight days, travelling only in daylight, staying in luxury hotels.

Highlights: Splendid views of Rocky mountains, incredible luxury at every stage of the trip, traditional native storytelling, wine classes and natural history workshop.

The Chepe

Where: Mexico. It begins its journey in the mountains of Chihuahua and finishes on the Sinaloa coast.

When: In the rainy season, from June to October, you’ll get lush vegetation(豐富的植被) and blooming cacti(仙人掌),although mid-summer (July) temperatures can reach 44 °C.

Duration: Doing the route straight through takes 14 hours, but you’ll want to stop off overnight and explore traditional towns along the way.

Highlights: The train winds its way down through 656 km of the spectacular Copper Canyon (which is deeper than the Grand Canyon), over 37 precarious-looking bridges and through 86 tunnels. Local people sell crafts and foods along the route.

The Ghan

Where: Australia, from Adelaide to Darwin via Alice Springs.

When: Going during the wet season (December, January) will allow you to see more wildlife and tropical splendour in the north, though peak season is usually the winter.

Duration: Going straight through takes 52 hours. There are disembarkation points(登陸點) from which you can take tours.

Highlights: Going through Australia’s Red Centre with cobalt-blue skies, red earth and not much else — a beautiful and serene(寧靜的) experience.

The Royal Scotsman

Where: Travels around the Scottish Highlands or all the way around Great Britain.

When: Warmer weather and up to 20 hours of daylight in June makes it the perfect time to watch ospreys soaring (魚鷹飛翔) over mirror-like lochs(湖), or go in October for autumn colours and the rather vocal stag-rutting season.

Duration: Trips can be as short as two days or as long as seven. Highlights: Possibly the most expensive train journey in the world. You’ll be treated like a member of the monarchy(皇室). Indulgent(放縱的) cuisine, fine wines and carriages that look like rooms at Balmoral Castle await those willing to part with a minimum of £2350 per person for a two-night trip.

1.Which of the following journey has the shortest duration?

A. The Chepe. B. The Ghan.

C. The Rocky mountaineer. D. The Royal scotsman.

2.Visitors may have the opportunity to try some wine in ________.

A. The Royal scotsman and The Chepe

B. The Royal scotsman and The Ghan

C. The Rocky mountaineer and The Chepe

D. The Rocky mountaineer and The Royal Scotsman

3.If a Chinese family wants to have a travel during the Spring Festival, which one would be suitable for them?

A. The Chepe. B. The Ghan. C. The Rocky mountaineer. D. The Royal scotsman.
