Think Focusing on culture Some ideas have had a widespread and long-lasting influence. Let's explore the work of one ancient Chinese philosopher. 1.Laozi was a famous thinker in ancient China. Read the article to learn about his philosophy and Daodejing. Laozi and Daodejing Laozi was a scholar and wise man who lived in the late Spring and Autumn period. It is believed that he wrote Daodejing. It is one of the most important works in Chinese history and it has influenced ideas in China and the world for more than 2,000 years. Daodejing is a guide on how to think and act. The central idea in Daodejing is Dao, commonly translated as “Way”, and the title Daodejing is understood as "Way of nature as a whole”. To achieve what is good, men should respect the laws of nature. The idea is that we, as humans, should live a simple, peaceful and balanced life, respecting our place in nature. It is not surprising, therefore, that many of Laozi's famous sayings use nature to get the message across: “The highest good is like water. Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive(奋斗). It flows in places men reject and so is like the Dao.” This saying reflects Laozi's idea that Dao or "Way“ is everywhere (like water).We should not try to control things; we should accept what we have and thus allow ourselves to go with the way of nature—that is, to achieve the highest good. Daodejing has had a lasting impact on culture in China and beyond. Its ideas about living in harmony with nature have inspired people all over the world, and the book has also influenced philosophy, art and literature. Although Daodejing was written over 2,000 years ago, it is still widely read today because its ideas continue to have meaning in our modern lives. Notes Historians believe that Daodejing was first translated into a foreign language during the Tang dynasty. Back then, a Chinese monk translated it into Sanskrit. so that people in India could read it. Today, Daodejing is one of the most translated books in the world. It has been translated several hundred times. Analysis of the article structure Laozi was a scholar and wise man who lived in the late Spring and Autumn period.

Luckily, like any other skill, it can be developed through practice. a Do some brainstorming b Avoid negative thinking c Take a break, but keep a pen and paper handy d Focus on one thing at a time 1 Read the online article and match the subheadings with the paragraphs. There is one subheading you do not need. The phrase "thinking outside the box“ means thinking freely and creatively, without any limits. Let's look at some ways to do it! (1)_______________ One good way to find creative solutions is to think of as many ideas as possible, even if they sound completely crazy. It doesn't matter if the ideas are good or not—even bad ideas can help us look at a problem in a different way. When we think of new ideas in a group, every new idea may help us come up with more ideas. However, if we keep saying “That will never work!” when someone has an idea, the discussion will never move forward. a Thinking outside the box (2)_________________ If you get stuck, doing something else for a while can help. For example, going for a walk may help you clear your mind and look at things in a new way. Some people have great ideas when they're doing the dishes or taking a shower. It's not surprising that Archimedes had his “eureka moment” in the bath! (3)_________________ It is hard to be creative if you try to do everything at once. For example, if you set a broad and unclear goal like "write a great essay", you will get stressed because you won't know what to do next. Instead, it's better to start with a small and focused goal, such as “choose key points for my essay”. Specific goals make it easier for you to think creatively and also help you reach your final destination, one step at a time. c d 2 Have you tried any of the techniques mentioned above? Do you think these techniques can be helpful? Share your ideas with your classmates. Yes, I have tried these ways. I often do brainstorming when I meet difficult problems. They are really helpful.
