How to Be Creative

Most of us think that creativity is a quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. 1. The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.

1. Get out of your comfort zone

We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. 2. In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.

2. Try different things

If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. 3. Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is.

4.

Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. 5. The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.

A. Take action

B. Seek several options

C. Think from the other person’s point of view.

D. If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree.

E. The truth is that we are all born with the capacity to be creative.

F. We continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do.

G. We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into reality.

Wild weather, unexpected coral reefs and dangerous sea creatures… these are the nightmares (噩夢(mèng)) you can imagine a teenager on a solo voyage (獨(dú)自旅行) around the world might suffer from. But for Laura Dekker, sailing around the globe seems less a price to be paid than a prize to be treasured.

As the 19-year-old Dutch sailor said in Maidentrip, a documentary released last year about her experience of becoming the youngest person to sail around the world alone in 2012, “I was born on a boat. I lived my first five years at sea. And ever since, all I have wanted is to return to that life.”

With her yacht Guppy, Dekker began her journey at 14 and sailed 50,004 kilometers in 519 days.

The flying fish keeping her company, the dolphins following in her wake and the warm days spent on deck playing the flute as she watched another unforgettable sunset were enough to make others jealous.

But these didn’t always go well. There were terrible moments in which Dekker feared death. On one occasion, a whale almost turned Guppy over. Another time, she battled extreme winds and Guppy surfed down 8-meter-high waves.

Out on the open sea alone, she also got used to living without a fridge, a flushing toilet, and a hot shower.

“As a human being you don’t need much,” she told Stuff.co.nz. “ They might make life more comfortable, but you really don’t need them to be happy.”

In fact, her outlook on life was shaped by the trip. “I wanted the storms. I wanted the calms. I wanted to feel loneliness,” she told The New York Times. “And now I know all these things. It’s the end of the dream I had as a child, and it’s the beginning of my life as a sailor.”

1.According to the text, in which year did Dekker begin her journey of 50,004 kilometers at sea?

A. In 2012 B. In 2010

C. In 2009 D. In 2011

2.The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 5 is ________.

A. offering analyses B. providing explanations

C. giving examples D. making comparisons

3.Which of the following can best describe the girl Laura Dekker? _________.

A. Modest and optimistic B. Patient and strong

C. Brave and generous D. Brave and determined

4. How did Laura Dekker think of her life on the sea?

A. It was so dangerous and almost ruined her.

B. It made her experience happiness and better understand life.

C. It is the sailing on the sea that made her well known.

D. It brought her great happiness and much comfort.
