Discoveries in science and technology are thought by "untaught minds" to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of laborious trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.
The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take the most shots at the goal — and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovators and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities.
"Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there’s no particular virtue in doing things the way they have always been done," wrote Rudolph Flesch, a language authority. This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: "How come nobody thought of that before?"
The creative approach begins with the proposition that nothing is as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are bound to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends.
Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.
The author quotes Rudolph Flesch in Paragraph 3 because______.
选项
A、Rudolph Flesch is the best-known expert in the study of human creativity
B、the quotation strengthens the assertion that creative individuals look for new ways of doing things
C、the reader is familiar with Rudolph Flesch’s point of view
D、the quotation adds a new idea to the information previously presented
答案
B
解析
细节题。作者引用Flesch的话当然是为了支持自己的观点:有创造力的人经常探索做事的新方法。文章第3段Flesch指出:创造性思维往往只起源于一种认识:做事情的传统的方法未必是最好的。像举例一样,引用其他人的观点(正面引述也好反面引述也好)都是为了说明文章的主旨或主题,否则,引述便显得没必要了,引用其他人的发现或数据也是如此。从这一点也可以看出把握文章的主旨、主题与思路对正确选择答案的重要性。故本题答案为B。
