Q: What is the man doing?
It's common for you, nonfiction writers, to go forth into an area you know little about. You may worry that you are not qualified to bring the story back. I feel that anxiety every time I start a new project. I felt it when I went to Bradenton to write my baseball book Spring training. Although I’ve been a baseball fan all my life, I had never done any sports reporting, never interviewed a professional athlete. Any of the man I approached with a notebook could have asked. What else have you written about baseball? But nobody did.
They didn’t ask, because I was sincere. It was obvious to those man that I really wanted to know how they did their work. Remember this when you enter a new area and need a shot of confidence, what matters is how you do it. Also remember that your assignment may not be as narrow as you think. Often it will turn out to touch some unexpected corner of your experience or your education, enabling you to broaden the story with strength of your own. Every such production of the unfamiliar will reduce your fear.
11. According to the speaker, when may non-fiction writers feel worried?
12. Why didn’t nobody in Bradenton care about what the speaker had written before?
13. According to the speaker how does non-fiction writers' experience or education benefit them?
The accepted definition of creativity is production of something original and useful, and it is commonly thought that creativity occurs on the right side of the brain, and the arts play an important role in enhancing it. But according to a new research, creativity isn’t about freedom from concrete facts.
Rather, fact-finding is vital in the creative process. It's the result of both sides of your brain working together. To understand this, we need to take a look at what leads to creativity. When you try to solve a problem, you begin by concentrating on obvious facts and familiar solutions to see if the answer lies there. This is done mostly by the left side. However, if the answer doesn't come, the right and left sides of the brain activate together. The right-side scans remote memories that could be vaguely relevant.
A wide range of distant information that is normally ignored becomes available to the left side. Then the left side catches whatever connection it may have with the problem, and quickly locks in on it before it escapes. With extremely focused attention, the brain quickly pulls together these pieces of thought and combines them into a new single idea, as the brain recognizes the originality of what it has come up with. A sense of pleasure will arise.
14. What do people commonly think of creativity?
15. According to the passage, how does the left side of the brain contribute to creative process?
16. What is the passage mainly about?
W: Hello, Peter. I heard you worked in a remote village last month.
M: Yes, as a volunteer teaching in a primary school in southeastern China.
W: A good choice for the summer vacation.
M: For me, it's not only a choice, but a responsibility.
W: You’re right. What can a volunteer generally do?
M: Many things, like creating a change in the surroundings, providing shelter and food to the needy ones.
W: So you mean volunteering is not just donating cash or things?
M: Right! We prefer to call that charity
W: How did you come up with the idea of volunteering?
M: It was my father. He used to supervise a volunteer program in a non-profit art gallery.
W: Was it a full-time job for him?
M: No, in fact, a part-time job. He went to the gallery nearly every weekend.
W: Wow. This requires great passion.
M: Sure. The best way to volunteer is to get involved in activities we are passionate about.
W: Have you had any difficulties as a volunteer?
M: Definitely Lack of respect, acknowledgement, and lack of funds now and then.
W: Oh, my! Many obstacles!
M: So the most important spirit is perseverance.
W: I’d like to join you someday.
M: Any time.
