It was found that 98% of the children scored at a genius level of creativity. In other words, their ability to think out of the box was extremely high. Five years later, the test was re-administered to these children, and the number decreased dramatically to 30%. ad·min·is·ter /ədˈmɪnɪstə(r)/施行；执行;~ sth (to sb)给予；提供;管理(公司、组织、机构等)；治理(国家) dramatically剧烈地，明显地；戏剧性地，夸张地 Another five years later, it further dropped to 12%. When the test was given to 280,000 adults, only 2% registered at a genius level. The findings were interesting and troubling in equal measure. It seems, unfortunately, that as we grow older, we tend to lose the ability to be creative. This is not so surprising though, for, as we age, we gain more experience and are more likely to follow set routines. register 取得(结果),得分;记录 troubling令人不安的; 令人烦恼的 in some/equal measure在某种/同样程度上 This can sometimes lead to a fixed mindset, creating mental blocks that prevent us from accessing new and creative ideas. To get around these blocks, we need to think out of the box and come at a problem from a different angle. An example of this is the invention of the assembly line in the early 20th century. ac·cess  /ˈækses/ 获取 (尤其电脑信息);访问，存取(计算机文件);到达；进入；使用 assembly line= production line装配线; 流水作业线 Here is the basic concept behind it: instead of moving around machines to get work done, workers stay in a fixed place while different parts of a product are moved in front of them in a continuously moving line. Since this approach was introduced, efficiency at the factory has been greatly improved. On the other hand, experience sometimes does encourage creativity. Isaac Newton famously said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” 艾萨克·牛顿曾有这样一句名言：“如果我看得比别人更远些，那是因为我站在巨人的肩膀上。” Indeed, a light bulb moment does not always come out of nowhere, and a great innovation could be the result of drawing on past experience and building on the work of previous generations. James Watt, for instance, improved the effectiveness of steam engines that already existed in his day, rather than inventing one on his own. B. Colin has found an article giving tips on how to develop one’s creativity. Read the article below and answer the following questions. How to become more creative In our ever‑changing world, where new problems occur regularly and innovative solutions are always expected, creativity is becoming a skill increasingly in demand. △Indeed, the value of creativity can never be overstated. 在我们这个不断变化的世界里，新的问题层出不穷，人们也总是期待着创新的解决方案。因此，创造力正成为一种日益受到重视的技能。的确，创造力的价值永远无法被高估。 ever‑changing不断变化的 in demand需求大;受欢迎的 overstate夸大,夸张,言过其实,=exaggerate /ɪɡˈzædʒəreɪt/ The seriousness of the crime cannot be overstated. 这一罪行的严重性怎么说也不为过。 In recognition of the important role that creativity and innovation play in all aspects of human development, the United Nations has been celebrating World Creativity and Innovation Day on 21 April annually since 2018. Creativity is a skill which can be learnt. So, how can you become more creative? First of all, it has been well accepted that looking for connections inspires creativity. in recognition of 用以肯定/赞誉/赏识/奖赏 World Creativity andInnovation Day 世界创意和创新日 Things or ideas that seem unrelated are like dots in isolation, and when connected, they can form different pictures. This can be made easier by acquiring good subject knowledge, developing a broad understanding of human experience,and keeping a note of things you have observed as well as ideas you have come up with. The more dots you have, the more connections you are capable of making.看似毫无关联的事物或想法就像孤立的点状存在，而当它们相互连接时，便能形成不同的画面。通过获取扎实的学科知识、全面理解人类经验，并记录下你所观察到的事物以及自己产生的想法，这一过程会变得更容易。你拥有的点越多，你就能建立的联系也就越多。 un·re·lated 无关联的,不相关的;无亲缘关系的 in isolation (from sth./sb.)单独地；孤立地 Another means to improve creativity is to work with others. You don’t have to be creative all on your own. As different people have different mindsets, skills and abilities, sharing ideas and combining their strengths would give rise to new perspectives, ideas and approaches, and ultimately lead to creative innovations. 另一种提升创造力的方法是与他人合作。你不必完全依靠自己去发挥创造力。由于不同的人有着不同的思维模式、技能和能力，分享想法并结合他们的长处将会产生新的视角、想法和方法，最终促成创新性的突破。 (all) on your own独自；单独；独立地 give rise to sth使发生(或存在)；引发 Last but not least, you must be ready to fight the fear of failure, which is often believed to be one of the biggest obstacles to creativity. In order to be creative, you need to be willing to take risks. Creativity is about experimenting and exploring.It is about trial and error. 最后但同样重要的是，你必须准备好克服对失败的恐惧，因为人们通常认为这种恐惧是阻碍创造力的最大障碍之一。要想富有创造力，你就需要敢于冒险。创造力在于实验和探索，它意味着尝试和犯错。 fight克制,克服 take a risk/take risks冒险（做某事） You need to accept that the process of innovation is a journey in which there will be both right and wrong turns. As long as you can reflect on the mistakes and make corrections accordingly, taking wrong turns is nothing to be feared.你需要明白，创新的过程就像一场旅程，其间会有正确的步骤，也会有错误的环节。只要你能对错误进行反思并做出相应的修正，那么犯错并不需要太过担心。 as/so long as只要;既然,由于,就…来说 reflect (on/upon sth)认真思考；沉思 fear  v.担心,担忧; 害怕,畏惧,惧怕 Now that you know how to become more creative, what are you going to do about it? The simple answer is to start small. Creativity does not necessarily mean making a great discovery or invention; instead, it could mean making a minor improvement to an everyday situation or finding a simple solution to an everyday problem. 既然你已经知道了如何变得更富有创造力，那么接下来你要怎么做呢？简单来说，就是从小处着手。创造力并不一定意味着做出重大的发现或发明；相反，它可能意味着对日常情况做出小小的改进，或者找到解决日常问题的简单办法。 not necessarily不一定；未必 Therefore, look for problems in your daily life that need to be solved. Try to find connections between different things and ideas, brainstorm with others,and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Then you will have your light bulb moment! 因此，要留意日常生活中那些需要解决的问题。试着找出不同事物和想法之间的联系，与他人一起进行头脑风暴，并且不要害怕犯错。这样你就会迎来灵感迸发的时刻！ 1. What tips are given on how to develop your creativity? 2. What can you do to be creative in your daily life? Look for connections, work with others and be ready to fight the fear of failure. Look for problems in our daily life that need to be solved, try to find connections between different things and ideas, and brainstorm with others. Plus, do not be afraid to make mistakes. C. In pairs, have a discussion about creativity. Use the following questions to help you. Page 24 • What is creativity? • Why is creativity important? • What discourages creativity? • How can we develop our creativity? Possible answer A: I think creativity is the ability to view things in new ways or from different perspectives. In other words, to think out of the box. B: Agree. In our ever-changing world, where new problems occur regularly and innovative solutions are always expected, creativity is becoming a skill increasingly in demand. A: That’s true. However, our creativity level drops as we age. In fact, a study showed that it dropped from around 98% in five-year-olds to 2% in adults! Perhaps gaining more experience as we age causes us to develop mental blocks, which makes it difficult for us to access new and creative ideas. B: Interesting point. But I think today’s technology is another reason. Research shows digital distraction inhibits creativity because it takes us away from activities that can stimulate our creativity such as reading, playing an instrument or painting.这个观点很有道理。但我认为如今的技术也是造成这种情况的一个原因。研究表明，数字干扰会抑制创造力，因为它会将我们从那些能够激发创造力的活动（如阅读、演奏乐器或绘画）中分心。 dis·trac·tion  娱乐,消遣;分散注意力的事；使人分心的事 in·hibit  /ɪnˈhɪbɪt/ 阻止；阻碍；抑制 take away from sth减少；减弱；贬低 A: Well, thankfully, creativity can be learnt. I know that looking for connections between things and ideas can inspire creativity. And the more we know, the more our creativity grows. 而且我们了解得越多，我们的创造力就会越强。 B: Indeed! But we don’t have to only look to ourselves to build our creativity.Other people can also help improve it. With different mindsets, skills and abilities, and by sharing ideas, perspectives and approaches, cooperating with others could lead to creative innovations. look to sb for sth/to do sth依赖,期待,指望(某人提供某物或做某事) A: Exactly. However, another obstacle to creativity is the fear of failure. To be creative, we must be willing to take risks and accept that making mistakes is part of the creative journey. Reflecting on our failures can reveal other solutions, so failure should be seen as a necessary tool. B: Good point. I think experience can also encourage creativity. We can use experience to find our light bulb moment, just like Isaac Newton and James Watt did. We can start by solving an everyday problem. After all, creativity, like any skill, must be practised! D.Write an article about creativity. Use your ideas from part C and the information in parts A and B to help you. Check and improve your writing after you finish it. Creativity: make it a way of life Creativity is the ability to view things in new ways or from different perspectives.Creative thinking leads to new ideas or possibilities, which we can use to solve problems, communicate with others and entertain ourselves. As the world changes constantly and new problems occur regularly, creativity becomes a skill increasingly in demand. Unfortunately, there are various things that cause us to lose our creativity. As we age, we have much life experience that over time leads to a fixed mindset. This mindset builds mental blocks and prevents creativity. In fact, a test found that 98% of five-year-old children had a genius level of creativity, while only 2% of adults registered at the same level. Another thing that results in our lack of creativity is that digital distraction takes us away from activities that can stimulate our creativity such as reading, playing an instrument or painting. In today’s world where the convenience of technology surrounds us, sadly we become less creative.在当今这个科技带来的便利无处不在的世界里，令人遗憾的是，我们的创造力却逐渐衰退了。 Though creativity may decrease as we age, there are ways to develop it. Firstly, by increasing our knowledge about a subject, we are more likely to notice connections between things and ideas, which can help inspire creativity. Secondly, creativity is improved when we work with other people because the combination of different mindsets and abilities gives rise to new perspectives and approaches. Thirdly, to be creative, we also need to overcome the fear of failure. We need to take risks,experiment and explore, though the process may lead to some mistakes. If we reflect on our failures and see them as a necessary tool, they can lead us down other creative paths. Finally, creativity is not only about original thinking and ideas, but also about building on the past experience of others. James Watt, for instance, made steam engines more effective instead of inventing his own. In a word, creativity is a skill that can be learnt throughout life, and we should certainly make it our way of life. $
