14．Most of us mistakenly think that creativity is a quality belonging only to inventors rather to ourselves．（36）B  The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity．
（1）Get out of your comfort zone
Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life．The human brain was designed to recognize patterns．We continue to create patterns and routines for almost everything we do．（37）F As we become more efficient at 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）（38）D
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，but creativity hates routines．Interrupt your routine and try something new．Undoubtedly，new things are often creative．
（3）Take action
（39）A  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．（40）G The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action．If you can put your ideas into practice，you are well on your way to improving your creativity．You can become a true inventor in your own life somehow!

A．Having a great idea is not enough．
B．Seek several options．
C We may attempt to think from the other person's point．
D．Try different things．
E．However，the truth is that we are all born with the potential to be creative．
F．In fact，our comfort zone is only a collection of patterns．
G．We all have great ideas sometimes，but only a few people turn their ideas into reality．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了如何開發(fā)我們創(chuàng)造力的一些方法．

解答 36．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity可知要尋找一些選項(xiàng)；故選B．
37．F．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文As we become more efficient at 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可知實(shí)際上，我們的舒適區(qū)只是一個(gè)模式的集合；故選F．
38．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文If you always do what you've always done，you'll always get what you've always got可知要嘗試不同的東西；故選D．
39．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文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可知擁有一個(gè)好主意是不夠的；故選A．
40．G．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action．If you can put your ideas into practice，you are well on your way to improving your creativity可知我們都有偉大的想法，但只有少數(shù)人把他們的想法變成現(xiàn)實(shí)；故選G．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀，和完形填空很類似，不同的是一個(gè)選詞，一個(gè)選句子．解題時(shí)，要注意上下文語(yǔ)境，充分考慮信息詞（選項(xiàng)中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞），選出最符合語(yǔ)境的句子．

What is the best way to protect your pets during freezing cold weather？Bring them inside．Pets （especially cats） are safer indoors．Can't have your pets inside the house？Purchase a dog house or give your pet a safe，warm place to rest．

San Antonio's Animal Care Services wants to remind people that the City of Sun Antonio has laws that protect pets from neglect，including exposure to freezing weather conditions．Animal Care Service warns that if you find any pet around being left in the freezing cold weather，you can call the City's 311Customer Service line．

6．The Cardboard Box Office is a project created by Lilly and Leon Mackie，who recently moved from New Zealand to Sydney，Australia．The transfer left them with a mountain of cardboard boxes，and the arrival of their baby son Orson 10 months ago meant their social lives were"completely altered （改變．"So the couple decided to try to make some fun of the situation．
"We started after creating a one-off photo where we wanted to portray the general mess and sleep-deprivation （睡眠） that comes with being new parents，"Lilly Mackie said in an email．"People seemed to really love it and asked for more．We had a lot of weekends at home and a stockpile of cardboard so we thought‘Why not？'It went from there．"
The Mackies took the first photos in September and have portrayed 14 movies so far，including their versions of"Cast Away"（or"Castababy"）and"Jurassic Park"（or"Goo-goo Gaa-gaa-rassic Park"）．Even"Star Wars"gets the Mackie treatment，with Orson holding a cardboard tube in place of a saber （軍刀）and mom sporting impressive Princess Leia-like hair buns （HI made out of brown paper in the photo titled"Wah Wars．"

3．Section B （10 marks）
Directions：Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage．Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer．
When Should a Leader Apologize and When Not？
Why Difficult？
When we wrong someone we know，even not intentionally，we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation．But when we're acting as leaders，the circumstances are different．The act of apology is carried out not only at the level of the individual but also at the level of the institution．It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record．Refusing to apologize can be smart，or it can be stupid．So，readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness．A successful apology can turn hate into personal and organizational harmony-while an apology that is too little，too late，or too obviously strategic can bring on individual and institutional ruin．What，then，is to be done？How can leaders decide if and when to apologize publicly？
Why Now？
The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more urgent．During the last decade or so，the United States in particular has developed an apology culture-apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more frequently than before．More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of public apologies．More articles，cartoons，advice columns，and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of private apologies．
Why Bother？
Why do we apologize？Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult，embarrassing，and even risky？Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target．They are expected to appear strong and capable．And whenever they make public statements of any kind，their individual and institutional reputations are in danger．Clearly，then，leaders should not apologize often or lightly．For a leader to express apology，there needs to be a good，strong reason．Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so．
Why Refuse？
Why is it that leaders so often refuse to apologize，even when a public apology seems to be in order？Their reasons can be individual or institutional．Because leaders are public figures，their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky．Leaders may also be afraid that the admission of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which they are responsible．There can be good reasons for hanging tough in tough situations，as we shall see，but it is a high-risk strategy．

-→•Public apology is much more than a（an）（61）personal/individualact．
•It's no（62）easyjob to strike a balance between apologizing or not．
•Apologies not （63）properly/appropriately/successfully/rightlyoffered can bring on individual and institutional ruin．
Why has the issue of public apology been so（64）urgentnow in USA？-→•In an （65）apology culture，admission of all sorts of wrongdoings is more required than before．
•The（66）growing importanceof public apologies has been widely reported in the mass media．
-→•Being public figures，leaders are supposed to appear （67）strong and capable．
•There needs to be a sufficient reason for a leader to （68）express apology/apologizein public．-→•Making apologies is likely to be personally uncomfortable and  （69）（even） professionally risky．
•Admission of a mistake or wrongdoing will probably do （70）damage/harmto their organization．
