By studying the notebooks, correspondence, and conversations of some of the world’s great thinkers in science, art, and industry

问题    By studying the notebooks, correspondence, and conversations of some of the world’s great thinkers in science, art, and industry, scholars have identified the following thinking strategies that enable geniuses to generate original ideas:

   【B1】______Sigmund Freud’s analytical methods were designed to find details that didn’t fit traditional paradigms in order to come up with a completely new point of view. To solve a problem creatively , you must abandon the first approach that comes to mind, which usually stems from past experience , and reconceptualize the problem. Geniuses do not merely solve existing problems: they identify new ones.
   【B2】______Geniuses develop visual and spatial abilities that allow them to display information in new ways. The explosion of creativity in the Renaissance was tied to the development of graphic illustration during that period, notably the scientific diagrams of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei. Galileo revolutionized science by making his thought graphically visible while his contemporaries used more conventional means.
   Geniuses produce. Thomas Edison held 1,093 patents, still a record. He guaranteed a high level of productivity by giving himself idea quotas: one minor invention every ten days and a major invention every six months. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a cantata every week even when he was sick. Wolfgang Mozart produced more than 600 pieces of music.
   【B3】______Like playful children with buckets of building blocks, geniuses constantly combine and recombine ideas, images, and thoughts. The laws of heredity were developed by Gregor Mendel , who combined mathematics and biology to create a new science of genetics.
   【B4】______Their facility to connect the unconnected enables geniuses to see things others miss. Da Vinci noticed the similarity between the sound of a bell and a stone hitting water-and concluded that sound travels in waves.
   【B5】______Whenever we attempt to do something and fail, we end up doing something else.
That’s the first principle of creative accident. We may ask ourselves why we have failed to do what we intended, which is a reasonable question. But the creative accident leads to the question: What have we done? Answering that one in a novel, unexpected way is the essential creative act. It is not luck, but creative insight of the highest order.
   This may be the most important lesson of all: When you find something interesting, drop everything and go with it. Too many talented people fail to make significant leaps of imagination because they’ve become fixated on their pre-conceived plan. But not the truly great minds. They don’t wait for gifts of chance: they make them happen.

选项
答案B
解析 文章倒数第二段提到普通人经常在失败后选择做其他事，这是意外创意的第一原则。但我们应该问自己到底做了什么，并用全新的方式来回答。这是创造性的洞察力而非幸运。由此可推断天才们一定已经准备好通过这种创造性的洞察力来提升自己。B项最符合题意。
