         Creativity is the ability to create inventions,solve problems or create a work of art using
    an unusual or innovative(革新的)approach.Creativity is also a skill in high demand in business
    and in many other forms of employment.All progress is the result of some sort of creative
    act.Thus someone who can produce such acts on a consistent basis is a valuable addition
    to any undertaking.
         Research has shown that too much passive media consumption at a young age prevents
    the development of creativity.You might think that creativity is a result of high intelligence,
    but that is not the case.Sure,it does not hurt to be smart,but you can be a smart robot
    without being able to imagine new ways of doing things.On the other hand it's common
    knowledge that traveling increases your ability to think"outside the box",because you
    experience a lot of new things and different ways of doing things when you witness how
    people from other cultures live.
         So what is the difference between surfing the web and watching TV and traveling?
    Watching TV is very passive and your brain simply discards most of it.And it is as if it
    has become cluttered(凌乱的)with useless information that it cannot really process.
         When you are doing things actively,by being there,by having a heightened sense of
    alert,very positive things happen.For example,remember your last trip.Let's say you've
    been to Tokyo.For most nonJapanese the experience of being in the city is very impressive.
    Everything is huge.There are lots of people and technology is everywhere.Because the city
    is new for you,your brain switches in"possibly dangerous"mode.You notice much more,
    even tiny details.
         Now that your mind is open it also stores the information better,because of your aroused
    state.All your input is stored with stronger emotions and is thus easier to recall later.That's
    why you should travel or simply go to new places in your town.Actively observe how you
    feel and then try to reproduce the feeling at a familiar place.This way you will learn to see
    things with the eyes of a traveler.

    阅读理解。
         阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中，选出符合各小题要求的
    最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。
         Here are five letters from readers listed in 1-5. All the greetings and signatures are left out. Suppose
    you are a secretary of the magazine CR (Crazy English Reader), for each one find a suitable reply from
    A-F. Mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don't need
    to use.
         1. I am a reader of CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your
    offering an opportunity to us beginners to practise using English. So I want to ask how they can obtain
    these articles and translated them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.
         2. I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English
    teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I've been giving you a bit of a plug at our
    middle school. I told the students to "get a copy!" It's good stuff! Fantastic!
          3. I'm one of Yao's fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English
    Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me?
    Thank you very much indeed.
          4. First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who gave us a really
    good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you gave us
    some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge, I think you should
    give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more
    accurately. Thank you!
          5. I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the
    position of the paper e.g., 总编 责任编辑 and so on. I hope you can help me to tell me the word in
    English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very much. Now, I do this work, I
    need study more information about this work, if you have time, please email me. Thank you.
         A. Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way
    to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words
    around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, it's good to look up the words and then mark them
    down in a notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try
    using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.
         B. The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy
    of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then copy down the different positions. There are also titles
    such as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor. I hope this helps. If
    you have some more specific questions, you can send them to me and I'll try to answer.
         C.The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write
    him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao, you can look at the sports section in
    sina. com. I hope this helps. Another idea is that you can try to write Yao while he's living and playing in
    Houston. You can try to reach Yao in the US at:   Yao Ming   Compaq Centre 10  Houston, TX 77046
         D.Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you're right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make sure
    there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep
    improving, so thank you.
         E. Yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. We
    contact these translators directly after interviewing their translation work. Afterwards we assign the
    articles to them for translation. If you are interested in being one of our translators you can send us some
    information about yourself and a sample of your translation work.
         F. Thank you for helping us to promote CR. We're glad it's helpful to your students. We always try to
    include articles that reflect real life. It's our hope that CR will not only improve student's English but also
    open up a different worldview.
