24、Is imagination more important than knowledge?
Berlin, 1929. The superstar physicist, Albert Einstein talked about how he accounted for his discoveries. “I’m enough of an artist to draw freely on my imagination, which I think is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
Knowledge versus imagination. Einstein’s aphorism(格言)reflects a repeated theme in human thought. The ancient dichotomy(对立)between what we know and what we imagine is found in every field of human intellectual achievement. Imagination often belongs to artists and geniuses, while knowledge, which results from a brush with reality, is black—and—white, logical—the field of people like accountants. Our view of which is more important depends on our personality.
Like many dichotomies, this one is an oversimplification. We know that the brilliance of many great artists was grounded in years of hard training; and that excitingly imaginative museums and highly creative accountants do exist. In fact, we have always relied on a blend of imagination and knowledge. Both are valuable. What then is the relationship between them?
Knowledge is often considered a stepping stone to imagination. It is a stored and shared treasury of publicly acceptable thoughts, many frozen into physical symbols(written or spoken). Knowledge coded, stored and expressed using symbols can be broken up and put together again in various new combinations(结合). It is this act of recombination which underlies the power to imagine. Our imagination is and must be grounded in our knowledge. The more memories we gain, the more material we have to work with, the richer are the fruits of our imagination.
Another way of thinking about the balance between imagination and knowledge is to consider each as private or public, individual or group. Knowledge strengthens group bonding, but the rise of new knowledge, for example, in the sciences can put a group’s very existence(存在)at risk. Imagination can challenge rules and traditions;yet shared acts of imagination can also help to strengthen intra-group bonds. The greatest acts of imagination—from Bach’s Cello Suites to Star Wars movies—require not only creation but admiration: they depend on being heard, seen and understood within a cultural environment.
In today’s world, we seem increasingly to prefer imagination, but that preference is culture—dependent. Imagination flourishes when its products are highly valued. In other words, the better people’s lives are, the more freedom to creativity. However, during times of difficulty or danger, shared knowledge, also known as “culture” or “tradition”, may be valued more. Resources previously put into artistic creativity may be channeled(输送)into efforts to make things better, leading to reduced artistic output. This brings us to another view of the relationship between knowledge and imagination: its dynamic nature.
So was Einstein right? Is imagination more important than knowledge? It depends on whom you ask, what you ask about, and when.

26、Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.
A Christmas Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself. He doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.
That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning-Christmas Day!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!
据短文内容,判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。

【3】Marley isn’t mean and always treats others nicely.
