Generally, there are three steps to being creative. They are:Step 1 Gaining knowledge and skills of how things are doneA solid knowledge and skills help you understand how to do something.

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, __79__ not all of them will be good ideas. That is why being creative is a process of trying - and trying again!

Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）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 Rea l World, was broadcast in 1992 on MTV. But the format really became popular with the success of Big Brother, and it has beencopied 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 manager 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.88. Big Brother is a TV show which has versions in over 70 countries, is n’t it?89. Which of the following words has the same meaning as “original” (Para.2)A. narrowB. creativeC. powerfulD. favourite90. What life skills can the spoilt teenagers learn in young, Dumb and Living off Mum?91. How is the life of the contestants living with strangers?92. What does TV critic Jo Barnett think of the characters in these shows?93. Do you like to take part in this kind of activity? Add your reason(s).Ⅶ. Writing （作文）94.
