41、回答41-55題： Three Ways to Become More Creative Most people believe they don't have much imagination． They are wrong． Everyone has imagination,but most of us, once we become adults, forgets how to access it． Creativityisn't always connected with great works of art or ideas． People at work and intheir free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems． Maybe youhave a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expandyour mind ! Here are three techniques to help you． This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to fred links betweenthem． First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need todo． Then find an image,word, idea or object, for example, a candle． Write downall the ideas ! words associated with candles, light, fire, matches, wax,night, silence, etC．Think of as many as you can． The next stage is to relatethe ideas to the job you have to do． So imagine you want to buy a friend an originalpresent, you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night．Imagine that normal limitations don't exist． You have as much time / space /money, as you want．Think about your goal and the new possibilities． If, for example, your goal is tolearn to ski(滑雪), you can now practice skiing every day ofyour life (because you have the time and the money )． Now adapt this to realitymaybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday inJanuary． Look at the situation from a different point of view, good negotiators (談判者)use this technique in business, and so do writers． Fiction writers oftenimagine they are the characters in their books． They ask questions: what doesthis character want?

There's no easy answer to this question． Your genetic makeup, the physical traits thatget passed down to you from your parents, pays a big part in determining yoursize and weight．(46) But if your parents are small than average, you maywant to rethink that professional basketball career! The same goes for your body type． Have you ever heard someone say a person is big boned?It's a way of saying the person has a large frame, or skeleton． Big bonesusually weigh more than small bones． (47) Like your height or body type, your genes have to say about what your weight will be． Butthat's only part of the story． Being overweight can run in someone's family,but it may not because of their genes． (48) And even though some kidsgain weight more easily than others, when they eat right and exercise, mostkids can be a healthy and happy weight that's right for them, it's true -- theway you live can change the way you look． How much you weigh is a balance between the calories you eat and the calories you use．(49) If you spend your free time watching TV, your body won't use as many calories as itwould if you played basketball, skated, or went for a walk． If you are inbalance, your weight will stay right for you as you know． But if you eat moreand exercise less, you may become overweight． (50) A．That's why it's possible for two kids with the same height, but different weights． B．If youeat more calories than your body needs to use, you will gain too much weight． C．Pooreating and exercise habits also run in families and this may be the reason the membersof a family are overweight． D．However, many overweight people have difficulty reaching their healthy bodyweight． E． On theother hand, if you eat less and exercise more, you may lose weight． F． If both your parents are fat, there is a good chance you' be fat． __________
