25、 develops creativity which is why you have an ah-ha moment and sudden insight about a situation. Daydreaming allows you to uncover thoughts and ideas you did not realize you even had and get the thoughts hidden under the surface. Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, found an
26、 association (联系) between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes making participants (参与者) first do an unusual-use task. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use un object as they could. Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things
27、before doing the unusual-use task again; complete a difficult task, complete an easy task, take a 12-minute break, or skip (跳过)a 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 repor
28、ted 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 no
29、t 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 n
30、ew and out-of-the-box ideas. 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. 27.

31、. have a break for 12 minutesD. find various uses for an object28. Those who completed the easy task performed best because _.

The objects that had
34、been the companions (伙伴) of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to disappear. Soon, wed all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called libraries and bookshops. But it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books. At least
35、in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of physical books are rising. More surprisingly, its young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books. The most popular reason given was:I like t
36、o hold the product. Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading. It often starts with the way they get them. Many buyers of books like to write down their names on the inside cover when theyve bought one. And we carry books around with us everywhere. If theres a mark made on the pages fr
37、om coffee or food, it doesnt matter. These accidents make the bookour bookeven more personal. Its as if readers of physical books make friends with them. Of course, some could say that the devices(设备) on which people read e-books, like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like. But it isnt qui
38、te the same. A Kindle can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library. But a story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favourite armchair enters our memory forever. Physical books are as valuable to some readers as photographs of family members. This friendship people develop wi
