Unit Eight Creativity

1. Unit EightCreativity

2. Cultural Background or Related Information • Creativity is often defined as the generation of a new idea or a new way of • doing things. A creative person is one who creates such new ideas while the • creative process is how these new ideas, solutions, and inventions are • produced. Everyone can show his creativity in his life. We shall not associate • creativity with artists and poets only. This is because “being creative” means • one can think of things that others cannot, or can solve problems in a simple • and original way. So, in this way, creativity provides us with a new world view • and makes our lives more colorful and varied. • Creativity is closely connected with curiosity. When you get curious about • yourself, about your world view, and about your motivation for making the • choices you make, you will find your daily routine life will be filled with keen • observations and related profound insights.

3. Children should be brought up in a pleasant and democratic atmosphere. • Parents should encourage them to ask “whys” about things around them, and • give them chances to solve problems by themselves. So they will have more • Confidence and thus become more creative. Teachers should ask students to • do imaginative homework such as making up stories and also encourage them • to have daydreams because these might arouse their creativity. When they • have good ideas or unusual points of view, teachers should give high praise of • them so that they will be creative.

10. Passage 1 • My biggest challenge as a college student is time management. In high school, my homework could usually be completed in class. After a long week of school, I always found time to have fun. I could go to every football and basketball game and every party, even if it meant sneaking out of the house. In high school, homework was not as important as it is in college. • Even so, there are so many parties in college. My freshman year in college was all about parties, and I struggled with my assignments. The importance of managing my time didn’t hit me until the end of my fall semester as a sophomore. I thought my grades would not be high enough to keep my academic scholarship. I remember crying in the office of one of my professors. I also recall having to do extra assignments in some of my other classes.

11. When I found out I could lose my scholarship, I thought I would die. I could not sleep or eat until I found out my grades. However, I didn’t fail any of my classes. I kept my scholarship. From that time on, I began using all my free time to study. At first I had to force myself to study on the weekends. Now I know parties can wait, because graduation is more important. • Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard. • 11.Q: What has been the speaker’s biggest challenge in college? • A: C. Managing his time. • 12.Q: How did the speaker realize the importance of managing his • time? • A: B. By worrying about losing his scholarship. • 13.Q:Which of the following is true according to the passage? • A: C. The speaker has realized that graduation is more • important than having fun.

12. Passage 2 • Mr. Lewis was a dance teacher. He was a nice man and always had a lot of students who used to come to his classes every week. One year, he moved to a new town, and was soon teaching a lot of students in the dance school there. But then he decided to move again to a big city where he could find more work. • When one of the ladies who regularly came to his classes heard that he was going to leave, she said to him, “The teacher who will take your place won’t be as good as you are.” • Mr. Lewis was happy when he heard this, but he said, “Oh, no! I’m sure he’ll be as good as I am --- or even better.” • The lady said, “No, five teachers have come and gone while I’ve been here, and each new one was worse than the last.” • Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard. • 14.Q: Why did Mr. Lewis decide to move to a big city? • A: D. Because he could find more work there. • 15. Q: According to the woman’s words, which teacher was the best? • A: A. The first one. • 16. Q: How must Mr. Lewis feel when he heard the woman’s remark • about the five teachers? • A: B. Embarrassed.

13. Passage 3 • Watching TV and going for a walk are the most popular leisure activities in Britain. But although longer holidays and shorter working hours have given people more free time, women generally have less free time than men, because they spend time on domestic work, shopping, and child care. • A survey showed that men were more likely to read newspapers than women, while a slightly higher proportion of adults read Sunday newspapers than those who read daily national newspapers. In addition, more people are taking holidays abroad. In 1971, only 36 percent of adults in Britain had been abroad on holidays. But by 1983, this proportion had risen to 62 percent, nearly fifteen million people.

Watching TV and going for a walk. • 18.Q: Why do British women have less free time than men? • A: D. Because they have to spend time on housework, • shopping and child care. • 19.

17. Part Two Reading Text A Text B

18. Lead-in Activity : Story telling • Samples • —— Yesterday when I was surfing the Internet, I saw a story about a person who bought a house in a most interesting way. He was a poor guy, and he knew he couldn’t afford a house, so he thought of barter（以货易货）. He had a big red pin, and then he bartered it for a pen, which was worth a little more than the pin; then he bartered the pen for a vase, which was again worth a little more than the pen. This went on and on； he had had a picture, a fridge, a computer, etc. Finally he got a house. I think he is a very creative person. Nobody would have thought his house started with a pin.

19. —— When we were in primary school, I believe we all read the story about Sima Guang. It was creativity that had saved his little friend’s life. Sima Guang’s friend fell into a big jar full of water by accident, and he couldn’t swim. All the other children were frightened and didn’t know what to do next. Sima Guang broke the jar with a rock, the water ran away, and his friend was saved. Creativity could save people’s lives in emergencies.

20. Reading • Language Focus • 1. Creativity is defined as the generation of a new idea or a new way of doing things. (Para. 1) • is defined as表示“被定义为”的意思。例如： • ◆In this announcement we have already defined the position of • our government. • 这个公告里已经阐明了我们政府的立场。 • generation是动词generate的名词形式，表示“发生，产生”的意思。例如：the generation of electricity by water-power（用水力发电）；the generation of a new idea（新想法的产生）

39. Translation of Text A • 提高你的创造力 • 创造的定义是产生新想法或者产生做事的新方法。有新想法的人是富有创造力的人。这些新的想法、解决问题的新方法、新发明的产生过程则被称为创造过程。从诗歌创作到房屋建造，从计算机编程到幽默，从音乐到科学，创造力都以不同的形式展现。 • 每个人每天都在创造，我们每天都会遇到不少问题，并想出许多办法解决这些问题。比如，你和你的家人曾没有足够的钱去下馆子或参加舞会，你们就自己做一顿烛光比萨晚餐，租盘自己喜欢看的电影录像带。在工作上，假如公司总部取消了年终奖，创造性思维可以帮助你想出一些新的举措让你的员工们继续干劲十足，比如采用弹性工作时间制，给员工在健身俱乐部集体打折，等等。可见创造力使我们知道了我们的能力所及。创造力让我们意识到我们的极限是可以扩展的，而扩展这些有可能给我们带来快乐的事物的极限则取决于我们自身。

40. 创造力使我们处在一个高于我们已经习以为常的日常生活琐事的视角。有时我们需要一种新的方式来看待这个世界和我们自己。创造性的思维可以使我们重新认识自我。更重要的是，创造力可以让你摆脱思想束缚，回到真实的自我；创造力使你自身得到释放，使你活在当下。因为当你全神贯注于创造过程中时，你是在尽享此刻。你从日常思维和感觉的限制中得到解放，从你日常自我的束缚中得到释放。在创造的过程中，你也免于被评价。你不是在评价自己，而是对创造过程充满信任。你就好像打开了你的思维心灵和灵魂中的娱乐室的灯，你可以无拘无束地用全新的方式运用各种想法和物品。就好像你感觉到了这就是活着的真正意义。创造力使我们处在一个高于我们已经习以为常的日常生活琐事的视角。有时我们需要一种新的方式来看待这个世界和我们自己。创造性的思维可以使我们重新认识自我。更重要的是，创造力可以让你摆脱思想束缚，回到真实的自我；创造力使你自身得到释放，使你活在当下。因为当你全神贯注于创造过程中时，你是在尽享此刻。你从日常思维和感觉的限制中得到解放，从你日常自我的束缚中得到释放。在创造的过程中，你也免于被评价。你不是在评价自己，而是对创造过程充满信任。你就好像打开了你的思维心灵和灵魂中的娱乐室的灯，你可以无拘无束地用全新的方式运用各种想法和物品。就好像你感觉到了这就是活着的真正意义。 • 创造力是一种天赋。正如上帝赋予我们笑的本能一样，它令人愉悦。创造力是在智力、情感和精神层面上感受愉悦的一种能力。不论你是在开拓视野，感动人心或者解决难题，重要的是你给予自己自由，让你的本能和智力来引导你。

41. 既然创造力对于心灵大有裨益，那么怎样才能让生活中多点创造力呢？是什么技能或什么爱好让你具有创造的能力呢? 是烹饪，家具设计，还是其他技艺？是写诗还是写小故事？抑或是电脑编程？无论是什么让你沉迷于创造过程，让你得到释放，成为真正的自己，你都好好利用它，让它成为你生活中的一部分。 • 如何才能将创造性思维付诸实践，应用到事业中或生意场上呢？你是不是拥有很多好主意，能使你的部门或公司提高生产力或增加收益呢？不要胆怯。把这些好主意写下来，递交给能够实现这些想法的人。假如能够实现这些想法的人是你自己的话，那就想方设法使它们变成现实。 • 想出新方法来解决人生问题的能力是一种生存技能。它是人类适应环境的能力的一种扩展。一旦我们养成运用这种技能的习惯，我们就渐渐会把问题看作是对我们与生俱来的创造力的一种挑战。因此，我们要勇往直前，活动活动创造力的肌肉。让我们感受到自己的精神和心智越来越强大。让我们对自己处理事物的能力充满信心。有了创造性思维，一切皆有可能。

I forced the clock to announce at the right time by pressing a manual button at the back of the clock. Finally, the clock worked well again. • —— No, I don’t think I am a creative person. I seem to have a lot of problems every day. Usually, most of them tend to get out of my hands. I look at my classmates; they all seem to handle things very well. That makes me all the more worried.
