They are 41 . Everyone has imagination, but most of us forget how to 42 it once we bee adults. Creativity isn’t always 43 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 44 think of creative ways to solve problems. Here are three techniques to help you.Make connections! It involves taking 45 ideas and trying to find links between them. Think about the problem to solve or the job to do. Then find an image, for example, a candle.

Introduced around 700 ., the quill was a pen made from a bird feather. Goose feathers were most mon.Bones or metal sticks were no longer useful as the papyrus could not be scratched. So the Egyptians created a reedpen perfect for the papyrus.　36　選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。故選B?？茖W(xué)家們希望這種研究對(duì)改進(jìn)機(jī)器人有所幫助。根據(jù)第二段中的They are trying to unlock the secrets behind the jumping spiders’ extraordinarily high leaps to catch prey (獵物) or to escape their enemies.

However, Kim, the world’s first spider to learn a skill, needs no stimulus (刺激物) to do what she loves—jumping from different heights and distances— upon the instruction of a team of scientists from the University of Manchester.While the idea of training a spider might sound evil, the researchers’ motives were purely scientific. They are trying to unlock the secrets behind the jumping spiders’ extraordinarily high leaps to catch prey (獵物) or to escape their enemies. A better understanding of the spiders’ leaps would help experts develop more efficient flying and jumping robots.The scientists found that Kim could gather enough force in her legs to jump more than six times the length of her own body from a stationary position. What was even more amazing was that she always landed perfectly. For shorter distances, Kim used a lot of energy, resulting in quick leaps, which the researchers believe probably increases her chances of catching fastmoving prey. The
