【題目】Five ways to improve creativity

Creativity is the ability to go beyond traditional rules, ideas or relationships and create something new through imagination or progressiveness. There are many ways to improve your creative mind.

Exercise the mind. Exercising your mind is an ideal way to boost creativity. Like the body, the mind needs exercise to work the creative muscles and make them stronger. Exercise your brain by learning new subjects, getting into a debate about politics and talking to other creative and intelligent people. 【1】.

Be passionate. One aspect of creativity is passion. 【2】 Find your internal motivation and follow your passion to improve your creativity.

Change your routine. 【3】To boost your creativity, consider changing one to two elements of your daily routine. If you are working on a certain project, consider stopping one project to work on another project at regular intervals throughout the day or week.

Read. While reading provides many intellectual benefits, reading is also beneficial for boosting creativity, exercising your brain and provide creative inspiration. 【4】Consider reading about subjects that were previously uninteresting to you. This change in the norm might spark your creative interest.

【5】. Our packed schedules have no room for creative thinking. Take a certain amount of time every day to quiet, refresh and clear the mind while relaxing the body. This quiet time can consist of a yoga workout, meditation or simply sitting still in a dark and quiet room, in a peaceful garden or on a beautiful beach.

【解析】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了提高一個人的創(chuàng)造力的五種途徑。

【1】考查上文和句意理解。根據上文所說通過學習新的科目，參與政治辯論，和其它有創(chuàng)造力和智慧的人交談來鍛煉你的大腦�？芍�下文這些活動將鼓勵源源不斷的創(chuàng)造力。下文中的these activities就是指上文所提到的活動�？捎玫酱�詞的指代作用解題。故選E。

【2】考查上文和句意理解。根據上文所說要找到內在動力，可知上文通常，學生在他們感興趣的科目上會表現(xiàn)出色。這種感興趣就是內在的動力。故選G。

【3】考查上文和句意理解。本文主題句是改變你的常規(guī)。所以可知下文通常，創(chuàng)造力受到過于熟悉的常規(guī)的阻止。所以要改變常規(guī)。故選D。

【4】考查上文和句意理解。根據下文考慮閱讀以前對你來說不感興趣的話題。可知上文盡可能多地閱讀幾個不同的主題。包括你不感興趣的話題。故選F。

【5】考查上文和句意理解。根據本段說要安靜地做一些事情�？芍�本段主題句應該是計劃一些安靜的時間。這樣才會為給創(chuàng)造帶來靈感。故選A。

七選五的解題技巧之一是可以通過詞匯線索“代詞”來判斷上下文所填內容。代詞是指代一個名詞或者一個句子的，然后通過代詞在句子所代替的內容，我們可以推斷出它指代的句子。例如第1小題考查上文和句意理解。根據上文所說通過學習新的科目，參與政治辯論，和其它有創(chuàng)造力和智慧的人交談來鍛煉你的大腦�？芍�下文是說這些活動將鼓勵源源不斷的創(chuàng)造力。下文中的these activities（這些活動）就是指上文所提到的活動�？捎玫酱�詞的指代作用解題。故選E。
