In today’s world, racial, ethnic, and national categories no longer impose fixed barriers or unbending traditions. This is not to say that these categories have disappeared. Rather, they are mixing and interacting in new ways. The hybrid nature of today’s society is a valuable resource that companies and businesses should tap into in their quest to innovate.
The ability to apply knowledge to new situations is the most valued currency in today’s economy. More than ever, creativity rewards those who exercise it, so curiosity about the source of creativity has never been higher. How creativity comes about is a riddle, but a few things seem clear. Highly creative people don’t necessarily excel in raw brainpower. They are misfits on some level. They tend to question accepted views and to consider contradictory ones.
The implications are plain to see: Divergent thinking is an essential ingredient of creativity. Diverse groups produce diverse thinking. Therefore, diversity promotes creativity. This logic applies to corporations, research teams, think tanks, and other groups of creators. Those who rely on a team of diverse people are more likely to innovate than those who rely on platoons of similar people.
To be sure, hybridity poses risks. A hybrid person may lose himself in a jumble of affiliations. A hybrid nation may botch the process of reinvention. Still, the price of such errors seems lower than the cost of circling the ethnic wagons and either shutting out people who are different or forcing them to become "one of us. " Never before have so many people married across racial and ethnic lines. Never before have so many people left their homelands for work or pleasure. Never before have so many people touched or tasted the clothes, foods, musical styles, and ideas of cultures not available to them in their youth. These people are not becoming phantoms or dilettantes. Rather, they are part of an outpouring of human creativity that is being driven by racial mixing.
"You cannot spill a drop of American blood," Herman Melville wrote in 1849, "without spilling the blood of the whole world. " More than ever, Melville’s declaration applies not only to America, but to all nations.
What’s the main idea of the text?
选项
A、We should encourage innovation to cope with new challenges.
B、Hybridity has its advantages and disadvantages.
C、The integration of varied social groups helps to produce creativity.
D、Businesses should take advantage of diversity for innovation.
答案
D
解析
本题是主旨题。首段末句提到,“当今社会的混合性是公司和企业在寻求创新时应该利用的宝贵资源”正是文章的主旨句。第二段首句又提到,“对知识的活学活用的能力是当今经济生活中最受重视的能力”,而第二段正是讨论“对知识活学活用的能力”即“创造力”。第三段首句提到,“这其中的含义显而易见:发散思维是创造力的重要组成部分之一”,而第三段也正是讨论不同的思维与创造力之间的关系。第四段首句中的“可以肯定的是,混杂状态也会带来风险”也点明了该段谈论的主要内容。而第五段引用名人名言作为结尾,再次点明主题。据此分析,答案选D。
