7. that        

8. all

【解析】

试题分析：

1. a 固定搭配show interests in/show a great interest in…对…表示出兴趣。

2.it 这里的it就是指前句的how to be an inventor。

3.in 固定搭配have sth in commom有共同之处。

4. which 本句是一个定语从句，which指代前面的先行词creative things在句中做主语。

5. away 固定搭配break away from…摆脱；你要学会摆脱就的思维模式。

6. as   固定搭配as…as…；用尽可能多的方法来看待问题。

7. that 这里的it是形式宾语，真正的宾语从句是后面的that引导的宾语从句。That在宾语从句中不充当任何成分，只起引导作用。

8. all 固定搭配。Above all首先，最重要的是。
