According to the dictionary definition of“create, ordinary people are creative every day”.To create means“to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(質(zhì)地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重組) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.
【小題1】“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________.

A．a(chǎn) new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things
B．a(chǎn) new thing is only a tale
C．we can seldom create new things
D．we can hardly see really new things in the world
【小題2】What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
A．It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.
B．To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.
C．A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
D．One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
【小題3】The best title for this passage is__________.
A．How to Develop One’s CreativityB．What Is Creativity
C．The Importance of CreativityD．Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing

Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-literate.” But not all experts (專家) agree that this is a good idea.
One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer. David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate.” David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do, they find out.The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People don’t have to learn computer terms(術(shù)語), but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate.”
【小題1】Which of the following is David Tebbutt’s ides on the relationship between people and computers?

A．Computer learning should be made easier.
B．There should be more computer clubs for experts.
C．People should work harder to master computer use.

【小題2】We can infer from the text that “computer-lilerate” means_______.
A．being able to afford a computer
B．being able to write computer programs
C．working with the computer and finding out its value
D．understanding the computer and knowing how to use it
【小題3】The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns ___.
A．help to set up more computer clubs
B．bring people to learn to use computers
C．bring more experts to work together
D．help to sell computers to the public

I fell in love with England because it was quaint (典雅)—all those little houses, looking terri­bly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man­ners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man­ners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans­port after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
【小題1】The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.

A．is not used to the life there now
B．has lived there for seventeen years
C．prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D．has to be polite to everyone she meets there
【小題2】Where do people usually meet their friends in England?
A．In a cafe.B．In a restaurant.C．In a nightclub.D．In a pub.
【小題3】The underlined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.
A．a(chǎn) taxiB．the moneyC．a(chǎn) bombD．public transport
【小題4】The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he ______.
A．felt lonely in England
B．had never been to France
C．was from a typical French family
D．didn't like the British idea of family

“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of tape. Dick worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Dick improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can’t recognize ways to use it in new situation. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earlier age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
【小題1】What did the company where Dick once worked learn from its mistake?

A．They encouraged people to work a longer time.
B．They discouraged people to think freely.
C．They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.
D．They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and improving new ideas.
【小題2】Creativity is something __
A．that people are born with
B．that depends on intelligence
C．that is a way of using what one has learnt to work out new problems
D．that is not important at all
【小題3】Why don’t schools try to encourage creativity?
A．They don’t understand the importance of education.
B．They don’t want their students to make mistakes.
C．They pay too much attention to exam marks, language and mathematical skills.
D．They think it more important to remember some information.
【小題4】 What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?
A．Try to help them as much as possible.
B．Take no notice of whatever they do.
C．Leave them as they are.
D．Help them if their decision is wrong, but not too much.
