What kind of genius（天才）do you want to tap into?,Warm-up,Passage : Develop Your Hidden Talents,Twelve years ago, Kathy Holubitsky, a secretary, began to write a novel by stealing an hour here and there after work. She was fond of reading, but had no formal training, not even a night class in creative writing. Soon she completed one novel, then another. “I started to write to give myself a creative challenge,” says Holubitsky lately, “not aiming to publish.” Yet two years ago, Alone at Ninety Foot became her first published work. Not bad for an untrained writer with no particular aim for fame. Being creative is not only natural. Its good for you. Creative expression enriches free time, reduces stress and brings better mental and physical health. Creativity can even make you smarter. It demands couragethe courage to be childlike in attempting new things, shrugging off regular way of doing things and trying something we are not already good at.,Passage,Creativity does not necessarily require an act of will or hard work. Many people come up with their best ideas merely while driving, bathing or cleaning the house. Creativity asks us to change the way we love our lives, to turn away from the “normal” way of doing things and to express our difference from all other people. However, its possible that your talents wont make you famous or rich. But it might change your life, leading you to make big changes in your work, your social circle and other activities you spend a lot of time doing. If you want to be more creative, you have to take more risks. Risk is always better than safety, which can lead to cynicism and a wellworn chair in front of the TV. “I always advise people to take a chance on something theyve always wanted to do,” says Jim Adams, vicedean of Physics Department Stanford University. “often something that fits in with your talents and abilities. Unfortunately, a lot of people live and die with that one wish unfulfilled.”,Passage,Words and Expressions,secretary n. 秘书，书记，部长 fond adj. 喜爱的，爱好的 training n. 培训 lately adv. 最近，不久前 aim v. 打算 n. 目的，目标 foot n. 脚，英尺 publish v. 出版，公布 *fame n. 名声，名望 expression n. 表达，表示，说法 *enrich v. 使丰富，充实,New words and expressions,reduce v. 减少，缩小 stress n. 压力，应力 mental adj. 精神的，脑力的 physical adj. 身体的 *creativity n. 创造力，创造 demand v.& n. 要求，需要 courage n. 勇气，胆识 attempt v. 试图，尝试 *shrug v. 耸肩 regular adj. 规则的，固定的，经常的 something pron. 某事，某物，某东西 merely adv. 仅仅，只不过,New words and expressions,risk n. 风险，冒险 *cynicism n. 玩世不恭 chair n. 椅子 advise v. 忠告，劝告，建议 vice adj. 副的 *dean n. 系主任 physics n. 物理学 die n. 死，枯萎 *unfulfilled adj. 未实现的 be fond of 喜欢，爱好 be good at 擅长 come up with 提出,New words and expressions,Notes,1.
