Reading Comprehension Directions: In this should d Question 46 to 50 When we think of creative people the names that probably spring to mind are those of men such as Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Pablo Picasso, i.e. great artists, inventors and scientist — a selected and exceptionally gifted body of men with rare talent and genius. The tendency to regard creativity and imaginative thinking as the exclusive of lucky few disregards the creative and imaginative aspects inherent in the solution of many of the tasks we regularly have to face —— the discovery and development of new methods and techniques, the improvement of old methods, existing inventions and products. Everyone has creative ability to some extent. Creative thinking involves posting oneself a problem and then originating or inventing a solution along new and unconventional lines. It involves drawing new analogies, discovering new combinations, and/or new applications of things that are already known. It follows, then, that a creative person will exhibit great intellectual curiosity and imagination. He will be alert and observant with a great store of information which he will be able to sort out and combine, in the solution of problems. He will be emotionally receptive to new and unconventional ideas and will be less interested in facts than in their implications. Most important of all, he will be able to communicate uninhibitedly and will not be too concerned about other people’s reaction to his apparently “crazy” notions. People called the Wright brothers mad but it did not stop them from becoming the first men to construct and fly a heavier-than-air craft. 46. The author believes that creative thinking . A is only possessed by great artists B requires rare talent and genius C is needed in the solution of many problems. D belongs to a lucky few 47. In order to solve scientific problems, people A should not be afraid of what others think B should be mad C must possess crazy notions D should have inhibitions 48. Creative thinking involves A drawing new pictures of old things B observing the action of great people C finding the problems and originating a solution D discovering new emotion 49. A creative person should A not be interested in facts B look at facts for what they imply C be more interested in applying new ideas than in facts D be emotional when he looks at facts 50. Which is the following is true? A. A creative person is emotional B Creative people are few and lucky C Most people are creative D Anyone has some creativity Question 51 to 55 Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught— to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle—compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, gave him the answer book. Let him correct him own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own outstanding, how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life in nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say,“But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world”Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it. 51. What does the author think is the best way for the children to learn things? A by copying what other people do B by making mistakes and having them corrected C by listening to explanations from skilled people D by asking a great many questions
