When we think of creative people the names that probably spring to mind are those of men such as Leonardo da Vinci, Albert

27、 Einstein, and Pablo Picasso, i.e. great artists, inventors and scientist a selected and exceptionally gifted body of men with rare talent and genius. The tendency to regard creativity and imaginative thinking as the exclusive of lucky few disregards the creative and imaginative aspects inherent in

28、the solution of many of the tasks we regularly have to face the discovery and development of new methods and techniques, the improvement of old methods, existing inventions and products.Everyone has creative ability to some extent. Creative thinking involves posting oneself a problem and then origin

29、ating or inventing a solution along new and unconventional lines. It involves drawing new analogies, discovering new combinations, and/or new applications of things that are already known. It follows, then, that a creative person will exhibit great intellectual curiosity and imagination. He will be

30、alert and observant with a great store of information which he will be able to sort out and combine, in the solution of problems. He will be emotionally receptive to new and unconventional ideas and will be less interested in facts than in their implications. Most important of all, he will be able t

31、o communicate uninhibitedly and will not be too concerned about other peoples reaction to his apparently “crazy” notions. People called the Wright brothers mad but it did not stop them from becoming the first men to construct and fly a heavier-than-air craft.46. The author believes that creative thi

35、n learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessa

36、ry changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicyclecompare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. Bu

37、t in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher.

38、 Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, gave him the answer book. Let him correct him own papers. Why should we teache

39、rs waste time on such routine work?Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Lets end all nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measur

40、e their own outstanding, how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of ones life in

41、nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say,“But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world”Dont worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.51. What does the author

45、ildren will grow up into adults who are .A too independent of others B too critical themselvesC unable to think for themselves D unable to use basic skillsQuestion 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. The word science is heard so often in modern times that almost everybody has some notion of

46、 its meaning. On the other hand, its definition is difficult for many people. The meaning of the term is confused, but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives. Just to make the explanation as simple as possible, suppose science is defined as classified knowledge.(facts) Even in the tru

47、e science distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this reason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths. There is no danger as long as a clear difference is made between temporary and proved explanations. For example, hypotheses and theories are attempts t

48、o explain natural phenomena. From these positions the scientist continues to experiment and observe until they are proved or discredited (使不相信). The exact status of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion. The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and the subsequent

49、understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secrets exist in nature or that questions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward that and specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy. Actually, two ba

50、sic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One, aimed at stratifying curiosity, is referred to as pure science. The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purposes for instance, improving health, raising standards of living, or creating new consumer products. Is this case knowl

51、edge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science. Sometimes practical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediate application for economic rewards. Chemists responsible for many of the discoveries could hardly have anticipated that th

52、eir finding would one day result in applications of such a practical nature as those directly related to life and death. The discovery of one bit of information opens the door to the discovery of another. Some discoveries seem so simple that one is amazed they were not made years ago; however, one should remember that the construction of the microsc
