32、next big idea? Sometimes the answer isnt to just force an idea 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 B
33、arbara, found an association between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants first do an “unusual-use task”. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four t
34、hings before doing the “unusual-use task” again: complete 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
35、reported that they were daydreaming while performing 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 thought”. Even when you a
36、re not actively working to solve a problem, it 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. Because it is free of control, it can create complet
37、ely new and out-of-the-box ideas.Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.48. The “unusual-use task” in Paragraph 2 means that participants _.A. complete an easy task B. complete a very diff
38、icult taskC. take a 12-minute break D. think of various ways to use an object49. What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Your brain wander in a subtle way within your control.B. Your brain knows clearly what youre thinking and doing.C. Your brain is thinking abou
39、t a problem outside of your awareness.D. Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.50. The passage mainly wants to tell us that _.A. brainstorming is important to creative ideas. B. daydreaming is a way to improve creativity.C. problem-solving skills are important in our l
40、ives.D. the more we exercise brains, the more ideas well get.CIm one of seven children. My three sisters and I grew up in a small bedroom with two sets of beds. We shared a closet, a dresser, and just about everything else. Our bedroom always had stuff hanging about. How about the life of only child
41、ren? I looked longingly at their perfect dolls and toys placed carefully on their perfect shelves in their perfect little girl bedrooms. They had bathrooms to themselves. These little girls would come home to everything just perfect.Looking back, I had to admit my “only children” friends had nice th
42、ings. They had designer beds and beautiful bedrooms, but I always had someone to play with and talk to. Even if everyone else hated me, one of my sisters would not and that was all I needed.Our house was the center of activity for the whole neighborhood. We had dance shows and baseball games in the
43、street. We had everything we ever needed because we had each other. I have come to realize that there are so many reasons that sisters make a difference to your life and I can give you a few here:They get you. Your sisters have grown up with you so they know the entire back story of your situation a
44、nd everything leading to it. They may not agree with you all the time but they never wonder why you do what you do or say what you say.They have suffered with you through awful times. I know that when one of my sisters is unhappy, I am unhappy too. When some non-family member tries to hurt you, the
45、claws of them will come out.They have cheered you on. Sisters do get jealous at times but, even so, they are happy that you are doing well. They rejoice at your new bonus as long as you take them out for drinks and foods！They are on the same diet as you. We are women in a world where thinness is equ
46、al to beauty. No matter how unjust this is, we are always on a diet.There is nothing like a sister calling and complaining about how she wants an ice cream and cant ever have one again.They are aging at the same rate as you. As we get older, we change, and however miserable this can be, it is hearte
47、ning to know that someone shares your misery. They know what you are going through because they are going through it too.The last and best thing about sisters is that they stick with us. We can have our upsets and misunderstandings but we always come back to each other.I know many people reading thi
48、s may have had upsets with their sisters. All I can say is communication fixes everything. If you miss your sister, tell her so. If you have a BFF (Best Friend Forever)that has stuck with you through thick and thin, adopt her as your sister and keep her close to you.51. How does the author develop t
49、he first paragraph?A. By making classification. B. By making comparison.C. By explaining the phenomenon. D. By providing evidence.52. The following sentence is taken from the passage. Where can it most probably be?“From a very young age, I really thought I was poor.”A. B. C. D. 53. Which is NOT the
50、reason that sisters make a difference to your life?A. They grow old with you.B. They can share the same diet with you.C. They can understand your strange behavior perfectly.D.
