watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! spinach became a necessary part of many peoples diets. even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.many people thought that the iron in spinach made popeye strong, but this is not true. spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.people only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. in the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. this group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. the group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.today, we know that the little iron in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. however, spinach does have something else which the body needsfolic acid.it is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. maybe it was really the folic acid that made

ideas. but they dont come out because of what your friends say or because you think that only a few people can be creative geniuses (天才). and, you, of course, think that you couldnt be one of them. but actually, this is not true at all. anyone who is a creative genius will tell you that creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be developed. if you dont learn how to develop creative thinking, this skill, just like a muscle, will become poor and useless. on the other hand, keep working at it, and this skill will soon be ready for action whenever you need it. so how do you develop your own personal style of creative thinking? you should realize that your brain has a greater capacity (容量) and a higher speed than the worlds biggest and fastest computer. so its important to get as much information as you can every day. read, watch and listen to everything around you good and bad. the more you know, the more youll want to know, and the more your brain will be exercised. try something new every day and let your experiences show you more about the world and people around you. you need to step out of your comfort zone (舒适地带) more and more each day. follow these suggestions, and begin thinking beyond your limits from today. youll soon have a life full of interesting and exciting adventures. who knows, your idea might be the next great idea to change the world.43. most people cant be creative geniuses because they _. a. dont have great ideas b. dont want to develop their ideasc. are too shy to talk about their ideas d. dont believe they can be 44. the underlined word it in the second paragraph means _.a. creative thinking b. the muscle c. personal style d. great capacity 45. what do we learn from the passage?a. no computer can store as much information as humans brain.b. it is not necessary to remember everything around you.c. try something new, as long as you are comfortable with it.d. it is harder to exercise the brain than the muscles 46. the passage is intended to tell readers _.a. how they can learn from creative geniuses b. about ways to develop their creative thinking c. about the importance of exercising the musclesd. the reasons why they cant be creative geniusesda few months ago as i wandered through my parents house，the same house i grew up in，i had a sudden，scary realizationwhen my parents bought the house，in 1982，they were only two years older than i am nowi tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house id still be living in almost 30 years later it seemed ridiculouson a practical level，theres no way i could afford to buy a house anytime soonmore importantly，i wouldnt want toim not sure where ill be living in two years，or what kind of job ill haveand i dont think ill be ready to settle down and stay in one place so this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parentswhen our parents were our age，theyd got their education，chosen a career，and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives my friends and i-“generation y”-still arent sure what we want to do with our liveswhatever we end up doing，we want to make sure were happy doing itwed rather take risks first，try out different jobs，and move from one city to another until we find our favorite placewed rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account this casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”(自大的), “impatient”, and “overprotected”some of these complaints have a pointas children, we were encouraged to succeed in school，but also to have funwe grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell phones，the internet，instant messaging，and video games our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)-starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top，on the same track，often for the same companythat doesnt apply to my generationbecause of that，it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible，stable adulthoodbut thats not necessarily a bad thingin our desire to find satisfaction，we will work harder，strive for ways to keep life interesting，and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents generation did47when the author walked through her parents house，she_.ahad no idea what she wanted from lifebrealized i

style than others. 51 it is a habit that everyone can develop in life. try these simple tips to drill and build up your confidence:1. admit your shortcomings calmly.do not try to flee from them or cover them. face them bravely. 52 fight against them every day until the day when you could break away and conquer them.2. dress for self-confidence. 53 and therefore pay attention to your dress, display your unique physical advantages and exhibit your best image. in addition, on formal occasions such as a business conference or a wedding ceremony, elegant dressing contributes to building your
