And on that morning I witnessed the effect that Kanes physical shortcomings had on his family. But I also witnessed much more than that.I saw an extraordinary family that embraced this special child, a family that wouldnt allow Kane to know he was different. Jolene had constructed a small cart just a few inches off the floor for his son to get around. Using his hands to move, Kane moved the cart to “go to” any place just as everyone else was able to do. Kane worked that little cart like a master. Kane was a vital focus of the entire family. He was more than just a member of the family; he was the soul. This child was the driver, the motivator, and the founder of much of the interaction.Much later in my life, I came to realize that God had sent this child to help some of us who just werent getting what love was all about. Even with my limited capacity for understanding at the time that Kane was a highlydeveloped spirit with great wisdom.Kane demanded attention, but not because of his mobility challenges or other apparent shortcomings. In his mind, he had no challenges or shortcomings. The truth is that he received attention because he was alive and real and had so much to offer.Kane was and still is a lot of warm and powerful energy sent to us all, so we might learn that love is beyond all things.

Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. If you have ideas, but dont act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.Some people say creativity has nothing to do with innovationthat innovation is a discipline, implying that creativity is not. In fact, creativity is also a discipline, and a crucial part of the innovation equation. There is no innovation without creativity.A study on creativity shows 8 in 10 people feel that unlocking creativity is critical to economic growth and nearly two thirds of people feel creativity is valuable to society, yet a striking minorityonly 1 in 4 peoplebelieve they are living up to their own creative potential.Another study reveals that we are naturally creative and as we grow up we learn to be uncreative.Creativity is a skill that can be developed and a process that can be managed. Creativity begins with a basis of knowledge, learning a discipline, and mastering a way of thinking. You learn to be creative by experimenting, exploring, questioning assumptions, using imagination and synthesizing (合成) information. Learning to be creative is similar to learning a sport. It requires practice to develop the right muscles.Beliefs that only special, talented people are creative weaken our confidence in our creative abilities. The concept that geniuses (天才) such as Shakespeare, Picasso and Mozart were “ gifted” is a myth (神话). Researchers examined outstanding performances in the arts, mathematics and sports, to find out if “ the widespread belief that to reach high levels of ability a person must possess a born potential called talent. ” Few showed early signs of promise prior to parental encouragement. No one reached high levels of achievement in their field without devoting thousands of hours serious training. Mozart trained for 16 years before he produced an acknowledged master work. Moreover many high performers achieve levels of excellence today that match the abilities of a Mozart, or a Gold Medallist from the turn of the century.5. Real creative people must be good at _. A. relating various things to each other B. using their heads whenever possible C. looking at things from different angles D. putting what they think of into practice6. Why does the writer refer to learning a sport? A. To claim that people are not born creative. B. To illustrate the difficulty of acquiring creativity. C. To prove that creativity begins with knowledge. D. To show the relation between creativity and sports.7. A conclusion can be drawn from the passage that _. A. creative people are equal to gifted peopleB. how hard you work decides if you will succeed C. talent is not as important to creative people as confidence D. parental encouragement plays a key role in developing creativity【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章说明了创造性的特征，定义并举例说明只有通过艰苦努力才能获得成功。5解析：根据第一段最后两句可知，有创造性的人应善于把想法付诸实践。答案：D6解析：根据第五段内容尤其是“Learning to be creative is similar to learning a sport.
