my life. the book writing without teachers introduced me to one difference and one practice that have greatly helped my writing processes. the difference is between the creative mind and the critical mind. while you need to use both of the creative mind and the critical (批判) mind to reach a finished result，they cannot work in parallel (平行k.&s5*u，并行) no matter how much we might like to think so.trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest trouble with writing that most of us meet. if you are listening to a 5th grade english teacher correcting your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting（稍纵即k.&s5*u逝的）thought, the thought will die. if you catch the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. you must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking as it is.the practice that can help you overcome your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what elbow calls“free writing”. in free writing, the goal is to get words down on paper non-stop，usually for 15-20 minutes. no stopping, no going back, no criticizing. the aim is to get the words flowing. as the words begin to flow，the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that youve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. most likely，you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.instead of staring at a blank start and filling it with words no matter how bad they could be，stop halfway through your available time and rework your raw writing into something closer to the finished product. move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.17. when the author says the creative mind and the critical mind“cannot work in parallel”in the writing process，he means _.a. no one can be both creative and critical b. they cant be regarded as equally importantc. they are in constant conflict with each other d. one cannot use them at the same time 18. what usually prevents people from writing on is _.a. putting their ideas in raw form b. attempting to edit as theyre writingc. ignoring grammatical problems d. trying to capture their fleeting thoughts 19. what is the chief purpose of the first stage of writing？a. to organize ones thoughts logically. b. to choose an appropriate topic.c. to get ones ideas down quickly. d. to collect many more raw materials. 20. in what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process？a. it refines(improves) his writing into a better shape. b. it helps him to come up with new ideas.c. it saves the writing time available to him. d. it allows him to sit on the side and observe. 1720 dbca*结束 may: happenings from

despair. life is a learning process. experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. with each passing day we learn to handle various situations.lovelove plays a pivotal role in our life. love makes you feel wanted. without love a person could go hayward(不归路) and also become cruel and ferocious. in the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care; they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. but we always tend to take this for granted. it is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.happiness and sorrowmaterialistic happiness is shortlived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. peace of mind is the main link to happiness. no mind is happy without peace. we realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. but these things are temporary and pass away.failure and successfailure is the path to success. it helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. success brings in money, fame, pride and selfrespect. here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. the only way to show our gratitude to god for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.hope and despairhope is what keeps life going. parents always hope their children will do well. hope makes us dream. hope builds in patience. life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. nothing remains the same. we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. so_the_only_alternative_is_to_work_hard_today,_so_that_we_will_enjoy_a_better_tomorrow.()11.in the passage, the author compares life to _.aa packagebjoy and sorrowcfailure and
