(D)
The ability to think creatively is not a gift everyone has naturally, so it must be developed as a skill. Here are some tips to help you develop creative and critical (批判性的) thinking abilities.
Step out of your comfort area.
Stepping out of your comfort area is an easy way to expand your creative and critical thinking skills. This can mean reading a book or an article that is completely unrelated to any previous studies, or even having a difficult conversation with someone you’re close to. 51. ________ We all grow from discomfort.
Stay healthy.
Your mind is in the best shape when your body is. Exercise and a healthy diet can clear the mind and allow for creativity. 52. ________ Some people are easily distracted (分心) by a messy office or a dark room. Most people are the most awake when they are in clean, healthy, and organized environments.
53. Write freely.
This is a common skill used by journalists and writers suffering from writers’ block. It’s an easy tool to get the creative juices flowing. Open up your computer, or take a notebook and pen, and just start writing. Just let your mind take you wherever it wants to go. 54. ________
Take a breath.
Everyone may reach points where they get stuck on an idea and can’t get past it. Don’t let this discourage you, and don’t blame yourself. 55. ________ Go outside for some fresh air, take a walk, eat a meal, or call a friend. Distraction can be very rewarding.
