Is creativity a natural gift like good looks, or is it something that it can be acquired like knowledge? If we analyze the creative process careful, we might know what it is and what it might work. The creative process has always accepted as the source of all important works in the arts, so we should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts. Every major scientific discover begins with someone seeing the world differently from the way others sees it. And this is which creativity is all about—imagining the world in the new way. We all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way. In fact, we are born for it.

1. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do all these things daily.
I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because often people are influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood.
2. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.
American culture is very much a part of Spanish life. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of their lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. 3.
However, it’s different with western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the life style of the Spanish people.4.
On the other hand, it may be that McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and they are more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults.5.
A.Many Spanish people like to watch movies.
B.The Spanish people normally eat at home.
C.I’ve known Coca Cola my whole life.
D.Most Spanish people prefer to eat in restaurants.
E.The influence of America is increasing in my country.
F.In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies.
G.In any case, it’s obvious that American culture has become a part of our lives.
During Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy crossing. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four buses from four different directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”
Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 810,000 more than the city’s 750,000 inhabitants and 63% of the population cycle daily.
But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges. Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters(小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”
Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.
Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.
She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”
Following the success of the Amsterdam plan, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents. Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”
1.Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?
A.To teach children how to ride.
B.To ensure cycling is safer for children.
C.To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.
D.To organize the cycling contests in the city.
2.Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?
A.Important B.Unnecessary C.Difficult D.Valuable
3.What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?
A.Favorable B.Cautious C.Ambiguous D.Disapproving
