广西2014年成人学位英语阅读理解60题练习及答案
I
According to the dictionary definition of“create”,ordinary people are creative everyday.To create means to bring into being or to cause to exist—something each of us does daily.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings.It means using all of our sense to become aware of our world.This may be as simple as being aware of color and appearance,as well as taste,when we plan a meal.Above all,it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression“There is nothing new under the sun”,the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example we might do this by finding a better way to study or to arrange our furniture,or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters(镜头和滤光器)to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas,to apply them to achieve some new results.To think up a new concept is one thing;to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day—to—day activities.
