I’ve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction(區(qū)別)and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.

Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍縱即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.

The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.” In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.

Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.

Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.

66.   When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” in the writing process, he means                .

A. one cannot use them at the same time                           

B. they cannot be regarded as equally important

C. they are in constant conflict with each other          

D. no one can be both creative and critical

67.   What prevents people from writing on is                .

A. putting their ideas in raw form                              

B. ignoring grammatical soundness

C. attempting to edit as they write                                   

D. trying to capture fleeting thoughts

68.   What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?

A. To organize one’s thoughts logically.                     

B. To get one’s ideas down.

C. To choose an appropriate topic.                            

D. To collect raw materials.

69.   One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that                .

A. it overstresses the role of the creative mind            

B. it does not help them to think clearly

C. it may bring about too much criticism                          

D. it takes too much time to edit afterwards

70.   In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process?

A. It allows him to sit on the side and observe.           

B. It helps him to come up with new ideas.

C. It saves the writing time available to him.               

D. It improves his writing into better shape.

He has vowed that he will not stop building his business until it is worth £100 million. But hard-working Owens can stop for at least a moment's celebration after making his first £1 million at the age of 16. Owens, who has used a computer since the age of seven, began teaching himself basic web design at the age of ten when he was given his first Mac computer. He used his pocket money to fund his first business project, website Mac Box Bundle at just 14 which has made £700,000 since its establishment in 2008. Mac Box Bundle sells a combination of popular Mac applications which are worth up to $400 together for under just $100 and donates 10 percent of the money to charities.

He then established an advertising company Branchr a year later and worked on the business after school and at weekends. Branchr made a surprising £500,000 in its first year. Branchr works as a platform for website owners to sell advertising.

How to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."

   Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.

   I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.

   Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it.  Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting(運(yùn)用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.

   Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.

If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.

56.According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life ____________. 

   A. Doesn't need improving    B. couldn't be improved

   C. will be better some day     D. Will be worse in the future

57. What does the author think of the woman's life?

   A. positive   B. satisfying   C. colorful    D. passive

58.Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?

   A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging.

   B. Your luck can be changed by your efforts

   C. You can only achieve success when God wills it.

   D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.

59.In Para.5, the author emphasized the importance of _____________.

   A. positive action  B. positive thinking  C. hope for the best  D. intention to succeed

60. The text is mainly written to advise you to ____________.

   A. understand yourself  B. improve your life  

   C. believe in yourself   D. change your normal way
