34、lingCAn Unforgettable SummerDA Strong Work EthicB Most people believe they dont have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isnt always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in th
35、eir free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, thi
36、nk about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax: night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the idea
37、s to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night. Imagine that normal limitations dont exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities.
38、If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January. Look at the situation from a different point of vie
39、w. Good negotiators use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why cant she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your go

B. most of us are no longer creative. C. we are not as imaginative as children. D. we are unwilling to be creati
41、ve. 56. The second technique suggests that you just imagine_. A. setting a goal is as simple as skiing. B. you have every resource to achieve your goal. C. new possibilities will soon appear. D. December and January are the best months for skiing. 57. The phrase “put yourself in their shoes” in para
42、graph 4 is closest in meaning to_. A. dress yourself like them. B. do as they ask you to. C. think as they would. D. put on their shoes, 58. We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself:_A. what do I usually do? B. what did my boss tell me to do? C. what are my customers
43、 needs? D. how should I sell my products? CCommuters who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to 350 a year. Ministers are backing a workfare parking charge which will come into force in Nottingham in 2013 and is likely to be adopted across the country. The scheme will see firms with more
44、than ten parking places for staff charged 350 a year for each space in two years. Employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staffmeaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work. The scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve
45、public transport, but cities say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers (保险柜). Some ten million Britons drive to work each day, and the British Chambers of Commerce says the new charge could total 3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide. Already some firms in Nottingham have thr
46、eatened to leave the city, where 40,000 commuters use their cars to get to work. A spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs. It is very unfair to discriminate against shoes employers who have parking spaces, which get vehicles off the streets, he said, “ And these charges apply
47、around the clock, which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available. This is more about increasing the governments income than reducing traffic.”However, Transport Minister Khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to Nottingham
48、. The council says the tax will raise as much as 100 million over ten yearsone fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city. Another transport spokesman Therese Villiers said the tax would have a devastating impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline. But Richard H
49、ebditch of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport. “We put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future of local transport services. We are pleased that the people of Nottingham will be the
50、first to benefit.”59Supporters argue that the scheme _ Acan help improve the parking conditions for the staff Bshould be applied to all commuters driving to work Cis certain to be carried out despite the objections Dwill relieve traffic pressure and improve public transport 60According to the object
51、ors, the scheme is unfair for _ . Athe firms with parking lots Bthe workforce without carsCthe employees parking their cars on the streets Dthe staff driving to work in the daytime 61Which word can best describe Theresa Villiers attitude towards the scheme? ADoubtful.BNegative. CUnderstanding. DPosi
52、tive. 62It can be inferred from the passage that _.
