D
We often think of the great inventors such as Thomas Edison or Steve Jobs as the “creative”. Or we read stories like that of Elizabeth Holmes, who developed a simpler, less painful way to test blood, which has turned her into the youngest female billionaire in the world.
Creativity and innovation（革新）in the day-to-day life start with looking at things differently and taking on the perspectives(观点) of the others. After you’ve taken the view of the others, start testing. New perspectives on problems can give you lots of ideas about how to improve things, but until you try some of those ideas you will never know which is the right choice. Don’t get stuck in analyzing all of your options without testing at least some of them first. If testing isn’t really feasible（可行的）with your specific situation, talk to a number of different people about your ideas and problems.
Once you have the data and feedback, give yourself some space to think. One thing we can learn from some of the great creative thinkers of our time is that they take time away from work to think and let their ideas develop. There is a story of Newton who mistook his watch for an egg and had it boiling while he was lost in thought in his workshop. Creativity and innovation aren’t just for the special few who are blessed with the insight into future. We can’t all be like Henry Ford, knowing that while customers say they want faster horses, what they really want are powered cars. But we can learn to develop creative thinking in everything we do.
Talk to others about your perspective and the importance of testing and feedback and show your passion for innovating in all areas to get help from them. That good mindset, along with your ability to follow through, will accelerate your success.

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。
Mount Everest(珠穆朗玛峰)is the highest mountain in the world. This mountain is located in Asia. Asia
is the home to all five of the world’s highest mountains. Mount Everest’s peak is five and one-half miles above sea level. That is very high!
Many climbers have tried to climb to the peak of Mount Everest. The first people to reach the peak were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. Since then, about 900 people have survived the climb to Mount Everest’s summit.
One of the most successful climbers is Erik Weihenmayer. Like all who try to climb this huge mountain, Erik faced strong winds, snow, and avalanches(雪崩). However, what really made Erik’s climb unbelievable is the fact that he is blind. After losing his sight at age 13, Erik began climbing at age 16. He has climbed the tallest mountains on five continents. Erik became the first blind person to reach the peak of Mount Everest.
At the age of 32, Erik began his climb as part of a 19-member team. His team wore bells that he could follow using his climb. By using them, fellow climbers could quickly warn him of such things as a big drop on the right or a big stone to the left.
During his climb, Erik faced many dangers. He struggled through 100m. p. h winds and sliding(滑动的)masses of snow, ice, and rock. Because the air became thinner the higher Erick climbed, he wore an oxygen mask, as do many who climb high mountains. It took Erik about two and a half months to reach the top of this huge mountain.
