I’m Susan. I’m a slim (苗條的) girl. Many girls ask me about how to be slim. I never exercise and I like eating meat. There’s only one reason behind it: my mom.

My mom cooks every day, but she even can’t cook a simple meal well. Our kitchen has been on fire many times. Twice this month! She’s a disaster (災難) in the kitchen. We ask her to stay out of the kitchen, but she never listens to us. She wakes up early every morning and goes home early after work. She cooks every meal for us. We have to eat what she makes - or we eat what we can. So all of my family are not fat.

Last Saturday, Mom tried to cook chicken for dinner. The result was a burning (著火的) kitchen. Luckily, Dad did his best to save the family and put out the fire. Now, when Mom goes to the kitchen, I start to worry about our lives.

Although we have a bad cook at home, our house is always full of people for lunch and dinner. I don’t think they come for delicious food. They must enjoy the happy time at my home. In fact, my mom is warm, friendly and funny. I love her, though she can’t cook well.

Do you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometimes the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander（走神）. 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（聯(lián)系）between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants（參與者）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 things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: Complete a difficult task ; complete an easy task; take a 12 –minute break; or skip（跳過）12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.

Surprisingly, the group that performed(執(zhí)行) best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants 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 are 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（不易察覺的）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 completely 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.

1.What could you do to create great ideas according to the passage?

A.Work hard. B.Let your mind wander. C.Have a nice sleep. D.Read more books.

2.The “unusual-use task” included having participants______________________.

A.complete an easy task B.complete a very difficult task

C.take a 12-minute break D.come up with different ways to use an object

3.Why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?

A.Because they were more creative than the others.

B.Because they were more knowledgeable than the others

C.Because they were better at solving problems than the others

D.Because they had the time to daydream, which might have helped unlock their creativity.

4.What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness（意識）

B.Your brain knows what you’re thinking and doing.

C.Your brain has a purpose of its own that cannot be known.

D.Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.

5.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Brainstorming is important to creative ideas.

B.The more we exercise our brains, the more ideas we will have.

C.Daydreaming is a way to improve creativity.

D.Problem-solving skills are important in our lives.

In the 1930s a young traveler was climbing the French Alps(法國阿爾卑斯山). He arrived at a big piece of land without living things. It was ugly. It was the kind of place you hurry away from.

Then, suddenly, the young traveler stopped on the way. In the middle of this large land there was an old man. On his back was a bag of seeds. In his hand was an iron pipe(鐵管).

The man used the iron pipe to make a hole in the ground. Then from the bag he took a seed and put it in the hole. He did this again and again.

Later the old man told the traveler,“ I’ve planted over 10,000 seeds. Perhaps only a tenth（1/10）of them will grow. ”

The old man’s wife and son had died, and this was how he chose to spend his final years.

“I want to do something useful,” he said.

25 years later the young traveler is no longer young. He came back to the place. What he saw amazed him. He could not believe his eyes. The land was covered with a beautiful forest two miles wide and five miles long. Birds were singing, animals were playing, and wild flowers were here and there.

The traveler stood there remembering the lifeless picture of the place that it once was.

A beautiful forest stood there now, all because someone cared.
