填空题No one knows that the experiment will succeed or not .

填空题A. Get moving. B. Follow your interest. C. Explore other perspectives. D. Reduce screen time. E. Allow for more flexibility. Brainstorming in a group became popular in 1953 with the publication of a business book, Applied Imagination . But it"s been proven not to work since 1958, when Yale researchers found that the technique actually reduced a team"s creative output: the same number of people generate more and better ideas separately than together. In fact, according to University of Oklahoma professor Michael Mumford, half of the commonly used techniques intended to spur creativity don"t work, or even have a negative impact. As for most commercially available creativity training, Mumford doesn"t mince words: it"s "garbage." Whether for adults or kids, the worst of these programs focus solely on imagination exercises, expression of feelings, or imagery. They pander to an easy, unchallenging notion that all you have to do is let your natural creativity out of its shell. However, there are some techniques that do boost the creative process. 1. ______ Almost every dimension of cognition improves from 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, and creativity is no exception. The type of exercise doesn"t matter, and the boost lasts for at least two hours afterward. However, there"s a catch: this is the case only for the physically fit. For those who rarely exercise, the fatigue from aerobic activity counteracts the short-term benefits. 2. ______ Those who study multi-tasking report that you can"t work on two projects simultaneously, but the dynamic is different when you have more than one creative project to complete. In that situation, more projects get completed on time when you allow yourself to switch between them if solutions don"t come immediately. This corroborates surveys showing that professors who set papers aside to brew ultimately publish more papers. Similarly, preeminent mathematicians usually work on more than one proof at a time. 3. ______ According to University of Texas professor Elizabeth Vandewater, for every hour a kid regularly watches television, his overall time in creative activities—from fantasy play to arts projects—drops as much as 11 percent. With kids spending about three hours in front of televisions each day, that could be a one-third reduction in creative time—less time to develop a sense of creative self-efficacy through play. 4. ______ Five experiments by Northwestern"s Adam Galinsky showed that those who have lived abroad outperform others on creativity tasks. Creativity is also higher on average for first or second-generation immigrants and bilinguals. The theory is that cross-cultural experiences force people to adapt and be more flexible. Just studying another culture can help. In Galinsky"s lab, people were more creative after watching a slide show about China. a 45-minute session increased creativity scores for a week. 5. ______ Rena Subotnik, a researcher with the American Psychological Association, has studied children"s progression into adult creative careers. Kids do best when they are allowed to develop deep passions and pursue them wholeheartedly—at the expense of well-roundedness. "Kids who have deep identification with a field have better discipline and handle setbacks better," she noted. By contrast, kids given superficial exposure to many activities don"t have the same centeredness to overcome periods of difficulty. If you want to increase innovation within an organization, one of the first things to do is tear out the suggestion box, advises Isaac Getz, professor at ESCP Europe Business School in Paris. Formalized suggestion protocols, whether a box on the wall, an e-mailed form, or an internal Web site, actually stifle innovation because employees feel that their ideas go into a black hole of bureaucracy. Instead, employees need to be able to put their own ideas into practice. One of the reasons that Toyota"s manufacturing plant in Georgetown, Ky., is so successful is that it implements up to 99 percent of employees" ideas.

填空题It comes as a surprise, given Microsoft's notorious tenacity, but the software giant is definitely out to clear its antitrust plate. After its settlement with the Justice Department, the company has now struck an agreement to end more than 100 private class-action suits and signalled that it wants to do the same for the case brought against it by the European Commission. (41) Yet recent events suggest that it will not be that easy for Microsoft to shrug off its legal woes. For a start, the nine state attorneys-general opposing the federal settlement have asked the trial judge to Impose tougher remedies. (42) . And this week, a Senate committee hearing was dominated by criticism of the federal settlement. The least of Microsoft's problems are the class-action suits, filed on behalf of consumers who say they were harmed by the company's behaviour. Giving money to schools is a good idea. But half of the gift would be in the form of free Microsoft software, costing the company almost nothing, and hurting competitors in the education market, mainly Apple. So worried is Steve Jobs, Apple's boss, that he has publicly criticised the deal—after haying kept quiet during the entire antitrust trial. (43) The proposal of the dissenting states is more serious. (44) . Central to the plan are remedies concerning Microsoft's browser software and the Java programming language: the company would be forced to license the source code m its browser, and to make sure that Java programs can run on Windows. Microsoft would also be required m offer a stripped-down version of Windows so that PC makers could choose add-ons other than its own. Microsoft says that the proposed remedies are "extreme and not commensurate with what is left of the case". Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, the trial judge, will decide next spring. She has put the case on two parallel tracks. One is a review of the existing Justice Department settlement (under the Tunney act) to determine if it is in the public interest. The other is litigation over the newly proposed remedies. The European Commission. for its part, will probably wait and see what transpires m America before proceeding. It is unlikely simply to rubber-stamp the outcome as Microsoft has suggested. For one thing, European regulators have disagreements of their own with the company, chiefly that it is trying to extend its monopoly into the server and media-player markets. But competitors and critics of the software giant, who have heavily lobbied both the states and Brussels, should not get their hopes up. Given the economic and political environment, it is still unlikely that Microsoft will get more than a slap on the wrist, even if it hurts more than the company would like. (45) To some extent this is already happening. The "Liberty Alliance", for example, is gaining momentum. American Express and AOL Time Warner recently joined this coalition, whose goal is to provide an alternative to Microsoft's online authentication service, called Passport. Similarly, if the entertainment industry got its act together, it might be able to stop Microsoft defining the standard for digital copy-protection. Perhaps this time around, such alliances will prove a better match for Microsoft's determination.[A] Businesses and consumers want benefits of being connected anytime, anyplace—without compromising security or control of personal information.[B] Its rivals would perhaps do better to concentrate their energies on forming alliances that could help to keep Microsoft in check.[C] About 12,500 schools—many of which are among the nation's poorest—would be eligible to receive software from Microsoft under the proposal.[D] Another judge supervising the class-action suits has questioned Microsoft's plan to settle all of the eases by donating $1 billion to poor schools.[E] As if to underline this new approach, Microsoft recently announced that William Neukom, its long-serving general counsel, will soon be replaced by Brad Smith, his more convivial deputy,[F] Their suggested remedies do more than just plug the loopholes in the main settlement and provide for tougher enforcement. They would take back much of what Microsoft has won by abusing its monopoly power.[G] The judge's remarks suggest that Microsoft will have to pay cash in full if it wants him m approve the agreement.

填空题 [A] Human history contains great stories that can help us appreciate more about past life.[B] The great achievement can provide motivation for learners.[C] Making us more human, more than anything else, is the purpose of studying history.[D] Learning history can lead a more colorful life.[E] History can tell us when we should give up.[F] History can teach us a lesson from its mistakes. The speaker alleges that studying history is valuable only insofar as it is relevant to our daily lives. I find this allegation to be specious. It wrongly suggests that history is not otherwise instructive and that its relevance to our everyday lives is limited. To the contrary, studying history provides inspiration, innumerable lessons for living, and useful valueclarification and perspective—all of which help us decide how to live our lives. 41.______ To begin with, learning about great human achievements of the past provides inspiration. For example, a student inspired by the courage and tenacity of history's great explorers might decide as a result to pursue a career in archeology, oceanography, or astronomy. This decision can, in turn, profoundly affect that student's everyday life—in school and beyond. Even for students not inclined to pursue these sorts of careers, studying historical examples of courage in the face of adversity can provide motivation to face their own personal fears in life. In short, learning about grand accomplishments of the past can help us get through the everyday business of living, whatever that business might be, by emboldening us and lifting our spirits. 42.______ In addition, mistakes of the past can teach us as a society how to avoid repeating those mistakes. For example, history can teach us the inappropriateness of addressing certain social issues, particularly moral ones, on a societal level. Attempts to legislate morality invariably fail, as aptly illustrated by the Prohibition experiment in the U.S. during the 1930s. Hopefully, as a society we can apply this lesson by adopting a more enlightened legislative approach toward such issues as free speech, criminalization of drug use, criminal justice, and equal rights under the law. 43.______ Studying human history can also help us understand and appreciate the mores, values, and ideals of past cultures. A heightened awareness of cultural evolution, in turn, helps us formulate informed and reflective values and ideals for ourselves. Based on these values and ideals, students can determine their authentic life path as well as how they should allot their time and interact with others on a day-to-day basis. 44.______ Finally, it might be tempting to imply from the speaker's allegation that studying history has little relevance even for the mundane chores that occupy so much of our time each day, and therefore is of little value. However, from history we learn not to take everyday activities and things for granted. By understanding the history of money and banking we can transform an otherwise routine trip to the bank into an enlightened experience, or a visit to the grocery store into an homage to the many inventors, scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs of the past who have made such convenience possible today. And, we can fully appreciate our freedom to go about our daffy lives largely as we choose only by understanding our political heritage. In short, appreciating history can serve to elevate our everyday chores to richer, more interesting, and more enjoyable experiences. 45.______ In sum, the speaker fails to recognize that in all our activities and decisions--from our grandest to our most rote--history can inspire, inform, guide, and nurture. In the final analysis, to study history is to gain the capacity to be more human--and I would be hard- pressed to imagine a worthier end.
