Researchers have develped a new methd fr training peple t be creative, ne that shws prmise f succeeding far better than current ways f inspiring creativity.
This new methd, based n narrative (叙述的) thery, helps peple be creative in the way children and artists are by making up stries that imagine alternative wrlds, change perspective and generate unexpected actins.
“The narrative methd wrks by recgnizing that we’re all creative,” said Angus Fletcher, wh develped the methd and is a prfessr f English and a member f the Ohi State University’s Prject Narrative. “We as a sciety cmpletely undervalue the creativity f kids and many thers because we are addicted t the idea that sme peple are mre creative than thers.”
The narrative methd f training fr creativity uses many f the techniques that writers use t create stries. One is t develp new wrlds in yur mind. Fr example, emplyees at a cmpany might be asked t imagine a wrld in which all their custmers are like that. Anther technique is perspective-changing. An emplyer might be asked t answer a prblem by thinking like anther member f their team.
“Creativity isn’t abut guessing the future crrectly. It’s abut making yurself pen t imagining cmpletely different pssibilities,” Fletcher said. “When yu d that, yu can respnd mre quickly and flexibly t the changes that d ccur.”
Fletcher and his team are als cntinuing t wrk with new rganizatins, such as the Wrthingtn Lcal Schl District in Ohi.
“It’s better t hire a diverse grup f peple and then train them t be creative. That creates a culture which recgnizes that there are already creative peple in yur rganizatin yu aren’t taking advantage f,” he said. “This new methd f training creativity culd nly have cme frm Ohi State University’s Prject Narrative, which is itself prf f the pwer f creativity.”
28. What may make the narrative methd wrkable accrding t Fletcher?
A. Creating alternative stries.B. Changing new perspective.
C. Generating unexpected tasks.D. Being aware f ur creativity.
29. Hw des the authr develp paragraph 4?
A. By using examples.B. By making cmparisn.C. By answering questins.D. By quting techniques.
30. What result is expected f training creativity?
A. T develp a culture gradually.B. T react t changes quickly.
C. T create pssibilities freely.D. T predict the future crrectly.
31. What is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. Ways Can Be Adpted t Inspire CreativityB. The Pwer f Creativity Has Been Fund
C. Anyne Can Be Trained t Be CreativeD. A Way Is Fund t Recgnize Creative Peple
D
Migratry (迁徙的) birds are declining glbally because f the way that humans have changed the landscape ver recent decades—accrding t new research frm the University f East Anglia (UEA).
A new study published tday reveals that ppulatin declines have been greatest amng species that migrate t areas with mre human infrastructure—rads, buildings, pwer lines, wind turbines (涡轮机)—as well as mre ppulatin and hunting levels.
Dr. James Gilry, frm UEA’s Schl f Envirnmental Sciences, said, “We knw that migratry birds are in greater decline than nn-migratry species, but it’s nt clear why. We want t find ut where in their life cycles these migratry species are mst expsed t human impacts.”
The research team identified 16 human-induced threats t migratry birds, including infrastructure assciated with bird disturbance and impacts, transfrmatin f land frm natural habitat t human land use, and climate change. Advances in satellite imagery allwed the team t map each f the 16 threats acrss Eurpe, Africa and Western Asia. The team als created the first ever large-scale map f hunting pressure acrss the regin. A ttal f 103 species f migrating birds were studied, including many rapidly declining species like the turtle dve and the cmmn cuck, using large-scale datasets. The team calculated threat scres fr factrs such as habitat lss and climate change, acrss breeding lcatins, as well as nn-breeding ranges. They then explred the relatinships between these threat scres and bird ppulatin trends calculated frm 1985 t 2018 by the Pan-Eurpean Cmmn Bird Mnitring Scheme (PECBMS).
Dr. Aldina Franc, als frm UEA’s Schl f Envirnmental Sciences, said, “Our findings are imprtant because we need t understand where declining species are being mst impacted by humans acrss their seasnal migratins. Lcating where birds are mst expsed t these threats culd help us target cnservatin actins.”
32. What causes migratry birds t decrease?
A. A lnger migratry rute.B. Serius industrial pllutin.
C. Illegal hunting frm humans.D. The changing f landscape.
33. What des the underlined wrd “infrastructure” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Basic systems and services.B. Lcal transprtatin.C. Internet facilities.D. Pwer supplies.
34. What des paragraph 4 talk abut?
A. The results f the study.B. The prmise f the study.
C. The prcess f the study.D. The database f the study.
35. What is the purpse f studying migratry birds accrding t Dr. Aldina Franc?
A. T raise peple’s awareness f prtecting birds.
B. T ffer advice t d cnservatin wrk precisely.
C. T stress the necessity f increasing bird ppulatin.
D. T state the imprtance f living in harmny with nature.

Running a marathn is an impressive achievement. Running it again is dubly impressive. Cmpleting tw marathns n walking sticks while partially paralyzed (瘫痪) is a test t the human spirit. Hannah Gavis decided t participate in the New Yrk City Marathn in 2018 after learning abut Amanda Sullivan, wh had previusly cmpleted marathns after an aut accident left her disabled.
In 2016, Gavis tk a vacatin in Vietnam. On her way back t her htel ne night, she feared she had gtten lst and asked fr directins. But the persn led her t a dark, wded area and attacked her. While running away, she fell ff a cliff, falling dwn 150 feet. She lay paralyzed at the bttm f the cliff fr hurs, until she was ultimately rescued in the mrning. The fall left her with a serius injury that has affected muscles in her lwer bdy. But it hasn’t stpped her frm living her life t the fullest.
The rad t recvery was difficult at first. Gavis was in the hspital in Thailand fr 18 days and after that spent tw mnths in Manhattan befre being discharged. At first, she culdn’t even sit up. When she tried t stand up fr the first time since being attacked, she felt lightheaded and fell.
Thrugh physical therapy (治疗), Gavis felt herself getting much strnger. Eventually, thugh, she was ding the exercises withut any assistance. Seeing the prgress that she was making kept her ging. Gavis began challenging herself thrugh activities utside f physical therapy. She went n difficult hiking in the muntains. “It was smething that I just started becming mre creative with and always putting myself t the test, pushing bundaries utside f what was nrmal,” Gavis said. But even while she was pushing her bdy t cnstantly d mre, she still had a feeling that running, an activity she lved and that nce came s easily t her, wuld n lnger be pssible.

Plants use the kind f sugar as fd fr energy and as a building blck fr grwing.
As summer ends and autumn cmes, the days get shrter and shrter. This is hw the trees “knw” t begin getting ready fr winter.
During winter, the trees will rest, and live ff the fd they stred during the summer. They begin t shut dwn their fd-making factries. As the bright green fades away, we begin t see yellw and range clrs. Small amunts f these clrs have been in the leaves all alng. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are cvered up by the greenness.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mstly in the fall. Sunlight and the cl nights f autumn cause the leaves t turn this kind f sugar int a red clr. The brwn clr f trees like aks is made frm wastes left in the leaves.
It is the cmbinatin f all these things that makes the beautiful fall full f different kinds f clrs we enjy each year.
