22、 elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess. Parbati Baruas father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer(驯服手). He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even
23、walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up - how to catch wild elephants. Parbati hasnt always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later sh

Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a

Sometimes the answer isnt to just force(逼迫) an ide
31、a out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander. Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.Researchers from the university of California, Santa Barbara, found an association (联系)between daydreaming and crea
32、tive problem-solving. Their study includes having participants(参与者) first do an “unusual-use task”.

33、mplete a difficult task; complete an easy task; take a 12-minute break; or skip the 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performin
34、g the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is something known as “unconscious(无意识的) thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, i
35、t is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的)way.When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not.
