Passage three
Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe we agreed that creativity is a mysterious idea. It was those things we all recognize when we see it, but we don?t really understand what it is. We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative, but we don?t know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift like good looks, or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge? Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully, we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts, but we should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it. And this is what creativity is all about -- imagining the world in a new way. And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations, we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way. In fact, you are born with it. It is your birth right as a human being. And what?s more, you use it every day, almost every moment of your life. Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences. You?re your creative mind that gets meaning from chaos of experiences and brings order to your world。

复合式听写
Students have been complaining more and more about stolen property. Radios, cell phones , bicycles, pocket (36) calculators, and books have all been reported stolen. Are there enough campus police to do the job? There are 20 officers in the campus security division. Their job is to (37) handle crime, accidents, lost and found (38) items, and traffic problems on campus. More than half of their time is spent directing traffic and writing parking tickets. (39) Responding promptly to accidents and other (40) emergencies is important, but it is their smallest job. Dealing with crime takes up the rest of their time. Very (41) rarely did any violent crimes actually (42) occur. In the last five years there have been no (43) murders, seven robberies, and about sixty other violent attacks, most of these involving fights at parties. On the other hand, (44) there have been hundreds of thefts and cases of deliberate damaging of public property, which usually
involves breaking windows or lights, or writing on walls. The thefts are not the carefully planned burglaries that you see in movies. (45)Things get stolen when it is just easy to steal them because they are left lying around unwatched. Do we really need more police? Hiring more campus police would cost money, possibly making our tuition go up again.(46) A better way to solve this problem might be for all of us to be more careful with our things. 【答案】 36. calculators 37. handle 38. items
