5.The benefits of keeping a journal
If you want to grow,one important thing you should do is keeping a journal.It may seem simple,but it can make a big difference in your life.I have been keeping journals for years.Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me.And to be honest,I can't imagine what my life would be like without it.(36)E
◆It prevents you from losing an idea.Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn't write it down?(37)A But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible.If I'm away from my computer,I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go.I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.
◆It helps you review all the lessons you've learned.By reviewing your journal,you can quickly see the lessons you've learned and the ideas you've gotten.(38)GYou can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.
◆(39)C After keeping a journal for years,you can look back at it and see how far you've gone.Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today.The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.
◆It helps you expand your ideas.When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea,you are thinking actively about it.(40)FIn the end,you will expand your ideas.

A.I often experienced that myself.
B.It trains you to express your thoughts.
C.It allows you to see your progress over time.
D.Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.
E.Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.
F.Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.
G.Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

One day,he was wandering in the park.Suddenly a good smell flew over and it attracted him to come under a peach.To his joy,he saw a girl dancing pleasingly.
"You are great!You look like a dancing butterfly!"watching her for a long time,then he said.
"Thank you!"this girl looked up and said shyly.
"Are you blind?"said the boy amazedly.
The girl made no reply,but she nodded hard.
"Sorry!I didn't mean to hurt you!"said the boy in a hurry.
"Never mind!"the girl seemed to be easy.
They knew each other in this way.
From then on,they often met each other.And while the boy was singing,the girl danced for him.
Time passed quickly!Many days passed before they knew it.

"I'm sorry!"the boy couldn't help regretting.He felt his heart bitten hard by a snake,"How foolish I am!How can I say such words before her?"His heart was soon covered by an inexplicable idea.

Hearing the boy's words,the girl couldn't help crying.Then the boy sang again while the girl danced.
Later the boy went quietly,but he was regretless,because he gave the last song in his life to the girl.
Soon the girl's operation succeeded,she saw everything and knew the truth,too.To people's surprise,the peach didn't blossom that year.

2.The paper is written in an attempt to discuss what the creative process is.Though much theory has accumulated,little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation.It is true that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by combing emotions,reason,and intuitions(直觉).But what is the magical synthesis(合成) that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity?
John L.Lowes,in his justly famous"The Road to Xanadu,"developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this interesting question.Imaginative creation.He concludes,is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate."there is ….the deep well with its chaos(杂乱) of accidently mixing images,but there is likewise the vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form,and with the vision,the controlling will,which gives to that potential beauty actuality."
The deep well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts,ideas,feelings of the conscious activity.The imaginative vision,an unconscious activity,shines through the land of chaos,of lights and shadows,silently seeking pattern and form.Finally,the conscious mind again,through will,captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art.In this way is unity born out of chaos.
Though there can be no absolute certainty,there is general agreement  that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel(与….相似),to some extent,Lowes's theory of well,vision,form and will.There are at least three stages in the creative process:preparation,inspiration,work.
In a sense,the period of preparation is all of the writer's life.It is the deep well.It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind.When remembrance of things past reaches the conscious level of the writer's mind,he is ready to go on with the process.Part of this preparation involves learning a medium---learning a language,learning how to write,learning literary forms.It is important to note here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea.Evidence,though not enough,shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it.It is the vision,according to Lowes,that sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form.
(Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than TEN words)

78.John L.Lowes has provided an acceptable answer to the question ofwhatthecreativeprocessis.
79.Well,vision,formandwillare the four elements of John L.Lowes'theoryofwell,vision,form.andwill.
80.How does the preparation stage contribute to the development of a creative workTheunconsciousmindcommunicateswiththeconsciousmind(inthisstage)..?
