26、 Do you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Sometimes the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander(漫游). Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.
Researchers from the university of California, Santa Barbara, found an relation between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants (参与者) first do an “unusual-use task”. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.
Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: complete a difficult task; complete an easy task; take a 12-minute break; or skip the 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.
Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.
But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is something known as “unconscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way.
When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas (打破常规的想法).
Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.

B．They daydreamed and it helped them be more creative.
C．They were daydreaming while performing the difficult task.
D．They skipped the 12-minute break to complete the task again.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Your brain wander in a subtle way within your control.
B．Your brain knows clearly what you’re thinking and doing.
C．Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness (意识).
D．Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.
【4】The passage mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A．brainstorming is important to creative ideas.
B．daydreaming is a way to improve creativity.
C．problem-solving skills are important in our lives.
D．the more we exercise brains, the more ideas we'll get.
27、The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it! Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing, so read on to discover the truth.
Wrong idea No. 1: An invention has to be something completely new.
Inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already exists（存在）. The Wright Brothers, got the idea for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
Wrong idea No. 2: Inventors are born, not made.
There are a lot of factors（因素）that make invention possible. Take Mozart for example. He was born with a talent for musical composition. But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practiced for hours every day, from the time he was four years old. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”！
Very successful creators don’t give up when they get something wrong. As one inventor said, “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question. ”
Wrong idea No. 3: Inventors are always old people.
Don’t believe that. You can’t invent something when you are young. Here are two examples of young inventors: Louis Braille went blind when he was a child. When he was fifteen, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today. As a young man, George Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety net and then jumped back up again. This gave him an idea and he invented the trampoline（蹦床）.
