This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will remind you of the information you wanted to remember. 2.

But remember: you do have to practice your new words often! 3. If you want to remember something, go to bed right after learning it. That is to say, it's always a good idea to review what you've learned before bedtime. 4. For example, it's easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller bits:198-756-430-387. 1.

Any time you try something different to solve a problem, you’re being creative. In sports, that might mean trying new moves to score a goal for your team. In engineering, that might mean using different materials to protect an egg. At home, it could mean figuring out a shortcut to get to your friend’s house or making up a game to enjoy yourself. You are creative every day! Are some people naturally more creative than others? Maybe, but anyone can get more creative with practice. Here are some skills that work for professional people who are creative in very different ways. Explore and Imagine Shigeru Miyamoto is the brains behind Super Mario Bros, one of the world’s most popular video games. He spent hours exercising his creativity by exploring nature and going on adventures in his mind. He finds joy in making up new worlds and adventures to design new games. Look for mix-up Dr. Oxman and her team mix things that don’t usually go together. For example, they mixed ideas from common robots and insects when they invented small robots. Dr. Oxman said she often doubted her ideas. If you come up with ideas you’re not sure about, don’t worry. Keep Creating Miranda wrote the songs for Disney’s movie Moana. In an interview, he was asked if he kept writing new songs, his answer: “Always!” Fear no failure Researchers have found that the most creative people don’t wait for the perfect idea. They constantly(不断地) come up with new ideas, then keep the best of them. Also, like most inventors and scientists, creative people _________________________________________. 1.

What is Miranda’s secret of being creative? ____________________________________________________ 5. Why does the writer use the examples of Shigeru Miyamoto, Oxman and Miranda? ____________________________________________________ 6. What can be put into the blank to complete the last sentence? ____________________________________________________ 1. Both. 2. He is a video game designer. 3. They are small robots with mixed ideas from robots and insects. 4. Keeping writing new songs. 5. To prove that anyone can get more creative with practice. 6. have more failure than success 解析： 第一段明确指出创造性思维不仅用于艺术课，在家解决问题时也可运用。 根据“Shigeru Miyamoto is the brains behind Super Mario Bros”可知他是电子游戏设计师。 文中提到Dr. Oxman团队将普通机器人和昆虫的想法结合，因此其小型机器人很特别。 Miranda的创意秘诀是“Always!”不断创作新歌。 作者用这三个例子是为了展示不同领域的专业人士如何通过不同方法培养创造力。 根据小标题“Fear no failure”及上下文，创造性人物不怕失败，并能从错误中学习。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025学年第一学期八年级英语Unit 3 Curious Mind 练习一 Part 1 Pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar（第一部分语音、词汇与语法） Write the following words according to the phonetic symbols.（根据音标写单词） 1.
