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.
What is Dr Belton’s advice for youngsters ?
选项
A、Observe the world around them.
B、Get information online from time to time.
C、Remain constantly active.
D、Read as many books as possible.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据倒数第三段最后一句“The researcher believes that nothing replacesstanding and stating at things and observing your surroundings.”可知,对年轻人来说,“没有什么可以替代静立并细察周围事物的了”,因此A为正确选项。请注意,选项A是对原文的反话正说,这也是常用的命题手段之一。
