The happy news is it’s not only possible, it’s likely- if we simply allow ourselves to try.“We’re all spiritual, creative beings,” says Julia Cameron, who wrote the best-selling book on creativity, The Artist’s Way.” Creativity is as normal an attribute as having blood.” Being creative is not only natural, it’s good for you. Creative expression enriches our free time, reduces stress and brings better health, both mental and physical.Let it flowCreativity does not require an act of will or sweat on the brow. Many people e up with their best ideas while driving, bathing or cleaning the house. “It’s sometimes useful to think of creativity as a form of spiritual electricity,” says Cameron.Get startedWhere does someone start if she’s never considered herself creative? One school of thought says you already know, deep down, what you’d like to try. Watercolours, perhaps, pottery, poetry, gardening, classic-car restoration or choral singing. Another strategy is to just begin trying things. So you take an art class and decide it’s not for you. So what? Try something else. The hunt can be half the fun.Some people remend exercises to get your mind exploring creative possibilities. Read books on creativity or check out Web sites on the Internet. Cameron suggests writing a list of wishes or dreams in quick succession so your inner censor has no time to pooh-pooh each one.“If you want to be more creative, you have to take more risks, I think that’s what inhabits most people.” says Jim Ad ams, a Stanford University engineering professor who has taught creative thinking for 30 years. “But risk, is always better than safety, which can lead to cynicism（愤世嫉俗的态度）, boredom and a well-worn chair in front of the TV.Do something differentCameron tells people to take themselves on a weekly artist’s date. Go to a concert, browse in an art shop or take in the sights and smells at a greenhouse. “These artist’s dates feed you in unexpected ways,” she says.“I always advise people to take a flyer for something they’ve always wanted to do,” says Cameron. “Often that thing is consistent with your talents and abilities. Unfortunately, a lot of people live and die with that one wish unfulfilled.”1.According to Julia Cameron, _______.A.people are born creativeB.people are spiritual, which is as normal an attribute as having bloodC.creativity takes our free timeD.creativity needs strong will and hard work2.What does the underlined word “well-worn” mean?A. well-dressedB. well-decoratedC. worn or used for a long timeD. fortable3.

People should often meet with artists.D. People should try to do what they’ve always wanted to do.4. What’s the title of the passage?A. Do Something DifferentB. Set Free Your CreativitiesC. Get Started to be CreativeD. Are You Creative?BMadonna has an unusual range of creative talents and has achieved success in several different fields — as a dancer, a singer, a songwriter, a choreographer (编舞者)，a record producer, a “tour” artist and an actress.Madonna trained as a dancer. She really trained, for years, and it was her dancing skills that brought her to New York in the first place. This was no “disco-queen”,picking up a few steps at the local keep-fit class; her teachers were true professionals, some of them, Pearl Lang especially, at the summit of their careers. To be a successful dancer, one has to have a number of skills, but the key one has to be one of musical rhythm (节奏). All successful dancers are musical, and Madonna’s years of dance training have contributed greatly to her success. They gave her a professional approach to choreography, and therefore the making of videos, and enabled her to dancer to a high standard — when she was given the chance — as well as sing. There can be no doubt that the physical daily discipline of dance training stood her in excellent stead when touring and spending whole days working in studios without a break, until she had achieved the sound she wanted.As a singer, Madonna soon took to writing her own material and her talent as a songwriter has also to be considered. Since she knew her own voice, and she knew the importance of rhythm and syncopation (切分) from her dancing, she was able to write songs that were both distinctive and tailor-made for her abilities. Based originally on dance-styles, her songs grew in depth and expressive seriousness so that on the one hand she is responsible for such classics as Into The Groove and on the other she was able to create something as pletely different as Promise To Try. Of course, by no means all of Madonna’s songs are entire ly her own work; she often writes together with others but such is her control over all aspects of the finished result that we justly talk of “her”material.If her music developed, so did her lyric-writing. Whatever lies behind her lines, some have bee phrases within most people’s vocabularly; on the Like A Prayer album her lyrics rose to new levels of subtlety and literacy.1.
