Were you constantly bored as a child? Maybe that helped you to develop your ability to be creative.
Boredom can be a good thing for children, according to Dr Teresa Belton, researcher at the University of East Anglia’s School of Education and Lifelong Learning. After interviewing authors, artists and scientists in Britain, she’s reached the conclusion that cultural expectations that children should be constantly active could block the development of their imagination.
British actress and writer Meera Syal grew up in a small mining village with few distractions. The researcher said:" Lack of things to do urged her to talk to people she wouldn’t otherwise have engaged with and try activities she wouldn’t, under other circumstances, have experienced, such as talking to elderly neighbors and learning to bake cakes. "
Belton added: "Boredom made her write. Meera Syal kept a diary from a young age, filling it with observations, short stories, poems.
The researcher didn’t ignore the old saying the devil finds work for idle hands, though. Belton pointed out that young people who don’t have the interior resources to deal with boredom creatively may end up smashing up bus shelters or taking cars out for a joyride.
How about watching TV and videos on the computer? The researcher believes that nothing replaces standing and staring at things and observing your surroundings.
It’s the sort of thing that stimulates the imagination, she said, while the screen " tends to short circuit that process and the development of creative capacity.
Dr Belton concluded:" For the sake of creativity, perhaps we need to slow down and stay offline from time to time.
Which of the following best describes the village where Meera Syal grew up?
选项
A、Modern and open
B、Tiny and unexciting
C、Poor and underdevelopment
D、Remote and violent
答案
B
解析
细节题。此题正确选项B也用了同义替换的命题方式。B项中的“tiny”替代第二段第一句中的“small”一词,“unexciting(平淡单调的)”替代了“with few distractions(鲜有消遣娱乐)”。
