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 radical 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.
According to the text, people are curious about sources of creativity because______.
选项
A、creativity is profitable
B、creativity is a basic human instinct
C、creativity is directly related to diversity
D、creative thought is valued by almost everybody
答案
A
解析
属逻辑关系题。题目中的关键词curious about sources of creativity出现在第二段第二句(其中原文中的curiosity换成了题干中的curious),此句大意为:人们对创造力的源泉产生了前所未有的浓厚兴趣是因为发挥创造力的人会得到前所未有的回报。由此可知,选项A符合此意,其中profitable是原文reward的同义表达。其他选项B、D在文中未提到,选项C的内容在文中第三段有提到,但并非人们对创造力源泉有兴趣的原因。
