While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists, we seldom n____1____ that creative thinking is in fact a process. Let’s look at what happened in 1666. Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to w____2____ if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it “gravity（重力）”. This story has become one of the most popular e____3____ of “eureka” moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery, the whole process of creative thinking shouldn’t be f____4____. Newton studied mathematics for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work b____5____. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years. Newton began to examine “gravity” carefully. He experimented. Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to do new experiments. In 1687, the greatest scientific work ever written came out.
