Most people are certain that creativeness is something you are either born with or without. 1._____ There are ways available to raise your talent to a level you would like.
The first step to being more creative lies in believing you are actually creative. You cannot come out with good work until and unless you believe that you are good at what you are doing. 2._ ___All that has to be done is to develop this creative potential.
3._____Even if your new concepts seem to be way too unlikely, make sure that at least give them a try. Unique concepts may seem strange initially but can lead to major discoveries. All the creations in the history of humankind came out just because there were people who could think differently.
4._____ Many people have the habit of over-thinking and look for reasons not to do a particular thing. Learn how to take a chance. You really can’t develop your talents till and unless you are willing to take risks. Understand that you can’t have insurance for each and everything. Therefore if you’d like to do something, go on and do it.
Another vital thing to do to remain creative is to update your mind regularly. You need to provide more modern inspirations and thoughts to your consciousness to come up with new concepts.

Then suddenly the little girl stopped crying, stepped back and began to sing. She sang so softly that it was almost a whisper. It was the sweetest sound the woman had ever heard almost like the song of a very small bird.

We’re trying to decide where to go on our vacation this summer. We usually go to the Lake Arrowhead for a few weeks, but we’d like to go somewhere else this year. We’re tired of doing the same thing summer after summer. Some friends of ours suggested that we go to Hawaii. That would be wonderful!

From bankers to factory staff, employees in the West face a cold prospect of losing their jobs as a global recession(衰退) starts to bite. For colleagues in the East, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.
Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports. The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group.
"In the Confucian mindset(儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden（负担）, which is the sense of collective responsibility. While in the West, it's more about individual survival," said Michael Benoliel, associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University (SMU).
In contrast, local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands, but at the Asian units of Western multinationals or western units of Asian groups, job cuts will probably be less severe.
Japan's jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kong's was flat at 3.4 percent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.
Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals(对手) from abroad.
1.The underlined word "prospect" in the first paragraph most probably means _________.
A. future B. scene
C. weather D. place
2.Compared with job cuts, pay cuts can bring the following benefits EXCEPT that _________.
A. it's helpful to the economy recovery
B. it can form a team working harder and more loyally
C. it will keep the experienced and skilled workers
D. it costs the company less money to survive
3.According to Michael Benoliel, the Confucian mindset focuses on _________.
A. human rights
B. personal profits
C. sharing responsibility
D. individual survival
4.The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. the difficulties all the companies around the world will meet with today
B. the different labor solutions of Asian and Western in global recession
C. the ways to cut down the cost of the companies in economic downturn
D. the cultural differences between Eastern and Western world at present
