Londoner Michael Wicks travelled to Sunbury in Middlesex last week to search for his 17-year-old daughter Lisa, who he had　 not seen for five years. Lisa moved to Sunbury with her mother after her parents divorced ( 离 婚) , and she was not in contact with her father, who lived in a different town.

After days of searching, Mr Wicks asked The Sunbury Free Press to print a photo he took in Sunbury’s main square and his telephone number, and asking his daughter to contact him.

Lisa said she had been very shocked. “I was just a few metres from my dad and I had no　 idea!” she said. She showed the paper to a friend, who told her to phone the number immediately.

“At first, my dad thought it was a joke” she said, “but he soon realized it was really me. It’s great to be in contact again after all these years!” She said that they went out to dinner together that evening to celebrate.

When you imagine a new way of doing something and then　 find a way to do it, you are being creative. Generally, there are three steps to being creative. They are:

Step 1 Gaining knowledge and skills of how things are done

A solid knowledge and skills help you understand how to do something. Knowing when and how to apply this knowledge comes from studying how others have done things in the same situations. Think about learning to play the piano. In this step you learn how to read music and_______ the keys are on the piano. You also practise playing.

Step 2 Learning to_______ the way that people do those things

Practising how others do something will bring what you have learned and the practice of it together. Repeating other people’s skills　 will　 create a lot of _________　 and increase　 understanding. So your next step in playing the piano would be seeing how other good musicians play, and repeating their songs and styles of playing.

Step 3 Exploring new and maybe better ways of doing them

Knowing the rules, but then using or breaking them in your_______　 style is the basis of　　 creativity. At this point in playing the piano, you might play songs in new ways; or even write　 songs and melodies (曲调). Being able to explore and improve on ideas requires time and effort to find out different ways of doing something.

Being creative is the useful ability to help solve problems effectively in many different situations. Being creative will　 often result in lots　 of ideas,_______ not all of them will　 be good　　 ideas. That is why being creative is a process of trying - and trying again! Being able to come up with new ideas, and then_______ the better ideas, will make　 your life more successful. So start　　 being creative today!

Say the words ‘reality TV’ and the show that comes into most people’s minds is Big Brother. Love it or hate it, there have been versions ( 版本)　 in more than seventy countries! The basic format is simple: put a group of strangers into a house, record everything they do and watch how they manage to live together.

Actually the idea wasn’t original. A similar show, The Real World, was broadcast in 1992 on MTV. But the format really became popular with the success of Big Brother, and it has been copied again and again, including celebrity versions. In similar shows, contestants ( 参赛选手) have been sent to the jungle or a desert island. In Wife Swap a mother goes to live with a family of strangers and tries to manage their homes; in Young, Dumb　 and Living off Mum a group of spoilt ( 宠坏的)　 teenagers with no life skills learn to live together and look after themselves.

So what makes these shows so attractive? Actually, living with strangers is stressful and also personality problems are common. Contestants often have to share tasks and housework and this also brings conflict. “It’s all about relationships,” says TV critic ( 批评家)　 Jo Barnett. “Some characters are pleasant, and some are unpleasant, but they are all real people.”

But is it healthy to be so interested in other people’s private lives? And what kind of people want to appear in front of TV cameras twenty-four hours a day? Not everyone was in favour of　 such shows, including the first ever winner of Big Brother, Bart Spring. “I’m not a fan of the programme or of people becoming famous for being stupid.” he says.

1.Big brother is a TV show which has versions in over 70 countries, isn’t it?　　

______________________

2.Which of the following words has the same meaning as “original” (Para. 2)　 ?

A.narrow B.creative C.powerful D.favourite

3.What life skills can the spoilt teenagers learn in Young, Dumb and Living off Mum?

______________________

4.How is the life of the contestants living with strangers?

______________________

5.What does TV critic Jo Barnett think of the characters in these shows?

______________________

6.Do you like to take part in this kind of activity? Add your reason(s) .
