One mrning mre than thirty years ag, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyne frm the humblest t the mst pwerful came fr breakfast. I nticed an empty chair next t an elderly, unshaven man, wh lked smewhat disheveled. He was wearing a wrn-ut hat and was alne. I asked if I might jin him. He agreed quietly and I sat dwn t have my breakfast.
We cautiusly began a cnversatin and spke abut a wide range f things. We never intrduced urselves. I was cncerned that he might have n mney and nt be able t affrd smething t eat. S as I rse t g back t the cunter and buy a secnd cup f cffee, I asked,
“May I get yu smething?”
“A cffee wuld be nice.”
Then I bught him a cup f cffee. We talked mre, and he accepted anther cup f cffee. Finally, I rse t leave, wished him well, and headed fr the exit. At the dr I met ne f my friends. He asked,
“Hw did yu get t knw Mr. Galbreath?”
“Wh?”
“The man yu were sitting with. He is chairman f the Bard f Churchill Dwns.”
I culd hardly believe it. I was buying, ffering a free breakfast, and feeling pity fr ne f the wrld’s richest and mst pwerful men!

D yu have truble trying t create the next big idea? Smetimes the answer isn’t t just frce an idea ut f yur mind. Instead，yu might want t try sitting back，relaxing and letting yur mind wander. Yes，yu heard that crrectly. If yu are in need f a new idea，try daydreaming.
Researchers frm the university f Califrnia，Santa Barbara，fund an assciatin between daydreaming and creative prblem-slving. Their study includes having participants first d an “unusual-use task”．They had t try t cme up with as many different ways t use an bject as they culd.
Then，the participants chse t d ne f the fllwing fur things befre ding the “unusual-use task” again：cmplete a difficult task；cmplete an easy task；take a 12-minute break；r skip the 12-minute break and mve right n t the task exercise again.
Surprisingly，the grup that perfrmed best was the ne that cmpleted the easy task. Many participants reprted that they were daydreaming while perfrming the easy task. S the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlck their creativity.
But hw culd daydreaming help the brain cme up with creative ways? The answer is smething knwn as “uncnscius thught”．Even when yu are nt actively wrking t slve a prblem，it is still in the back f yur mind. Yur brain is still thinking abut the prblem，but in a much mre subtle(微妙的) way.
When yu daydream，yur mind is allwed t think in ways it nrmally wuld nt. Because it is free f cntrl，it can create cmpletely new and ut-f-the-bx ideas.
Great ideas never cme easily，but that des nt mean yu always have t wrk hard t get them. Feel free t d what yu want and let yur mind wander.

A．Yur brain wander in a subtle way within yur cntrl.
B．Yur brain knws clearly what yu’re thinking and ding.
C．Yur brain is thinking abut a prblem utside f yur awareness.
D．Yur brain refuses t receive any infrmatin frm the utside wrld.

Well, I happened t hear that Peter Hessler was ging t be speaking at 7:30 that very night. Peter Hessler is prbably my favrite writer at the mment.He used t write abut China fr The New Yrker, and he als wrte 3 bks abut his experiences living and wrking in Beijing. I was s excited t hear him speaking that I went right ver t The Bkwrm at 7:00,(18) (19) tk a seat at the bar, and waited fr him t arrive. I waited and waited, but he didn’t shw up. Finally, at 8:30, I asked ne f the staff when Peter Hessler was suppsed t be there. (19) “Peter Hessler?” he replied, “He’s nt suppsed t be here tnight. He was here last mnth, thugh.” It was then that I realized my mistake. I had cme n the right day, just nt in the right mnth! (20)
