问题                  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, forget how to access it. Creativity isn’t always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
    This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, you think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all 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 relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.
    You can imagine that normal limitations don’t exist. You have as much time/space/ money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now you can adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
    Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者) use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself "in their shoes". The best fishermen think like the fish!
The phrase "put yourself in their shoes" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
选项 A、dress yourself like them
B、do as they ask you to
C、think as they would
D、put on their shoes
答案C
解析 本题难度不大，干扰项干扰不强，put yourself in their shoes即使不看原文，考生也能大致判断是“站在对方立场上考虑问题”，最佳答案是C。Think as they would．这是个省略句，实际上是think as they would think．即“站对方的立场上考虑问题。”
