Some people think creativity is making something completely new, so they do not think of themselves as creative ones. However, some other people think creativity can just be expressing themselves through everyday acts and they are born creative because it is not an all-or-nothing quality or skill.

Whether or not we realize it, we all have the ability to express creativity. Sometimes the path to creative productivity is being willing to do something different.

Are you someone who loves to read comics? Perhaps it is time you create one of your own. Don’t worry if you cannot draw very well or feel that you cannot write humorous reports for characters. Nobody says this is an exam! You only have to please yourself, to gain the satisfaction that you try something new, all on your own. If you feel easy, you can of course share it with our loved ones, or post it on social media,

Are you someone who likes to express yourself in writing? Try writing a blog. This is like the new version of a diary. In your blog, you can write about your thoughts, opinions and experiences. You can also write stories or plays, if you feel up to it! The blog provides you with a platform to create something new every day, in written forms.

Are you someone who likes to be alone? Now, think about the things that make you happy. Find a small place in your room, or any place in your home, where you can spend time with yourself. It can be a small corner next to your bed or a wall. It can be a poster of your favourite rock star or photos of your friends. You can also pick a guitar if you like to play instruments, or a few storybooks if you love reading. Some of you may like flowers, candles or pretty things. Decorate your area with your favourite things in any way you like. That is creativity! And if you do feel bored with this, you can change, add or remove something.

By realizing the chances in our daily lives to inspire our creativity, no matter how small, we may become more comfortable with taking bigger creative leaps in other aspects of our lives.

34．How does the writer begin the article?

A．By asking questions.                                  B．By giving examples.

C．By comparing opinions.                              D．By explaining reasons.

35．From Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 5, what does the writer suggest?

A．Trying something new.                               B．Avoiding something dangerous

C．Trying something difficult.                         D．Avoiding something expensive.

36．In what ways can we show our creativity according to the article?

① playing the piano         ② receiving flowers          ③ keeping calm

④ writing blogs        ⑤ watching plays           ⑥ decorating rooms

A．②③⑥                  B．①③⑤                  C．①④⑥                   D．②④⑤

37．The purpose of the article is to________.

A．offer us all kinds of ideas and experiences

B．teach us knowledge of different life skills

C．encourage us to make something important

My friend Julie and I are keen on creating a beautiful green town.

Gardening Course

Every September, our city has a special festival. Crowds of happy people go to the park, waving ribbons in their hands. That’s because the gardening competition takes place there.

For Julie and me, it was a pity that we couldn’t take part in the competition, for that was also the first day of our high school. We buried ourselves in choosing courses. We wanted to learn all about plants, gardening and farming. Finally, a course called Agriculture and Wildlife came into our sight. We thought it would help us succeed as gardeners.

Project presentation

After a year’s study, Julie advised me to give a presentation. There was a small plastic model of my idea on the table. On the other side of the table, my teachers were waiting to see my project—the green farm.

“Good morning!” I said “During my studies I’ve learned a lot about city farming. Now. I want to do something with what I’ve learned.”

I showed them the model. “This is the high street of our town. This is an old, nine-floor car park. No one has used it for the last two years and it’s now for sale.”

I continued the presentation. They could see my designs on the big screen when I talked.

“I’ve designed a city farm using the car park building. There will be eight floors to farm fruit and vegetables. This design can help us collect rainwater to wet the soil. And we can also use energy from the sun to power the special growing lights. “

“I will hire the space out to local people and they will sell everything good enough for the environment in local shops. Also, the ninth floor will be for those who want to grow their own plants.”

My audience looked interested and my project got the highest marks in my class. But in the real world. it couldn’t happen because the car park was not available.

Later, Julie helped me search the town for the perfect place for gardening, not in front of the Town Hall or the shopping centre. We tried to look for something different. Somewhere that was not the best neighbourhood, but a poor one. One where the road was full of boles and the pavement (人行道) was all broken. At last, we made it.

In the neighbourbood, we posted letters through people’s doors with gardening instructions. More and more people cared about that and began to plant vegetable gardens.

Then in the same neighbourhood, we put grass over those broken old pavements for the kids to play on. Finally, we put up a sign that said, “Have fun here.”

When we finished, we were both covered in soil and completely exhausted. But Julie put an arm around my shoulders and smiled. “Not bad!” she said. “We can do more to make our town greener!”.

Linda is looking through the website http://www.keepingfit.com. Here is what she reads.

Researchers have found the health benefits of dancing for people in poor health condition, from improving brain health to creating community.

Becky is teaching a group of 80 adults some dancing skills. Many of her students are seated in the dancing room because they have difficulty in moving. When they are following Becky’s pretty movements, a sense of peace comes over them.

Dance as a medicine

Helen, a researcher, says that dance requires different parts of the brain to work at the same time, that is to say, dance requires more “brain power” than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises.

She invited two groups of adults to take part in programmes for over six months. One group practised dancing and the other did a traditional exercise like cycling. Both groups improved their level of physical fitness, but the group of dancers improved more cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention and high-level thinking.

Dance described by Helen as “pleasure double-play” can lift the mood and reduce stress.

Dance as body acceptance

Besides the physical and mental benefits, dance can also help people with diseases accept what their bodies can and can’t do.

Jenny is Becky’s student. Her body went numb when she was in her mid-twenties. She had no feelings from the knees down. She suffered from serious muscle tightness and balance problems, making standing and walking difficult for her.

Jenny recently joined an online dance programme. Not only has it improved her coordination (协调性). but it has enabled her to overcome her fear of being judged (评价) for how she moves, both in the dance class and out in the world.

“I see so many people moving like me,” she says “I don’t have to be perfect in my dancing or make sure my leg lifts this way—it makes me comfortable with where I am right now.”

Dance as community

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of dance is the sense of community it creates. Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their moving abilities, but also helps to fight against loneliness and problems in getting along with others.

Becky started teaching more than 22 years ago, and she has helped 300 communities in 28 countries around the world. In some countries, such as India and South Kores, people have put their own cultural dance styles into their classes.

Becky wants to create a sense of family and community for this group of people. Whenever and wherever she teaches, she hopes to make them feel joyful, get much closer to the community, and explore the limitless possibilities for the rest of their lives.

42．In which part of the website may you find this passage?

A．Culture.                 B．Fashion.                 C．Health.                   D．Literature,

43．From “Dance as a medicine” part, we can learn that ________.

A．the act of dancing helps to improve “brain power”

B．the act of traditional exercise requires more attention

C．dance needs more high-level thinking to lift the mood

D．dance needs more repetitive exercises than “brain power”

44．How do you understand the underlined part of this passage?

A．Jenny feels sad because she is weak in dancing.

B．Jenny wants to be perfect after practising dancing.

C．Jenny accepts the disabilities of her body after dancing.

D．Jenny thinks she should treat her leg for better dancing.

45．What’s the best title for this passage?

C．Dancing helps to change moods                   D．Dancing helps to reduce loneliness
