What is a lifestyle and how is that different from a life? A lifestyle is about brand names and buying identity or fame. Lifestyle gives a false sense of peace and acceptability that comes from others recognizing what you’ve bought into (as well as bought). If your car, clothes, and home are expensive, you’re sophisticated(世故的) and stylish. If you have the right kind of job or go to the right social gatherings, then you receive the insincere approval of others. This means that your self-esteem(自尊) is always at the mercy of others, with no appreciation of you as an individual.

A life, on the other hand, is very different. A life is what you lead when you know what matters most to you. It is very simple and comes from being connected to what you know is important and being willing to put that first, no matter what others may think. When you create a life vs. a lifestyle, your self-esteem comes from what’s inside you, not what others think about you.

Lifestyle is expensive financially and personally, because it costs a great deal to keep up appearances and do what you think is socially acceptable. A life is not expensive. Rather than using personal or financial resources, a life generates energy and staying power. It’s about liberating yourself from the mindless consumption that society expects. It is about making the choices that are in line with your values, instead of using up your bank account or energy for no heart-driven reason.

How can you make the change? Understand the difference between a life and a lifestyle. Analyze your current lifestyle to see what is costing you in money, time, stress, and energy to maintain it. Let go and make room for what is really important to you, what supports you and brings you joy. Remember who you are from within, not what you own!

1.Which of the following examples best explains “what is life about”?

A．We work long hours in a job that we do not enjoy.

B．We focus on what we wear, or what kind of car we drive.

C．We find out what our true beliefs and values are and choose to live by these.

D．We think that how others see us is more important than what we think of ourselves.

2.What method does the author use to explain his opinion in the third paragraph?

A．Making comparison. B．Giving an example.

C．Giving a definition. D．Giving a reason.

3.To make the change, we need to______________________.

A．be directed from within B．be directed from outside

C．be driven by social values D．be driven by others’ opinions

4.What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A．To describe what life is.

B．To introduce what lifestyle is.

C．To promote life instead of lifestyle.

D．To tell the differences between life and lifestyle.

Have you ever made contact with the creative spirit, that certain something hard to describe, but full of good—and sometimes great—ideas? It is more than an occasional great thought. When we feel the moving of the creative spirit, it brings to life a style of being: a lifetime filled with the desire to invent, to explore new ways of doing things, and to turn dreams into reality.

That flash of inspiration is the final moment of a process marked by unique stages—the basic steps in creative problem-solving. The first stage is preparation, when you look for any information that might be important. It's when you let your imagination run free.

But one barrier(障礙) is the inside voice of judgment that locks up our creative spirit within the limits of what we think acceptable. It's the voice that whispers to you, "They'll think I'm foolish," or "That will never work." But we can learn to recognize this voice of judgment and have the courage to discount its unhelpful advice.

Once you have thought about all the relevant(相關的) pieces and pushed your mind to the limits, you can let the problem remain and take in all you have gathered. It's a stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness. As the saying goes, "You sleep on it."

We are more open to creative thoughts from the unknowing mind when we are not really thinking of anything. That is why daydreams are so useful in the search for creativity. Anytime you can just daydream and relax is useful in the creative process: a shower, long drives, a quiet walk, etc.

With luck, daydreaming will lead to a light turning on above your head, when all of a sudden the answer will come to you as if from nowhere. This is the popular stage—the one that usually gets all the glory and attention, the moment that people sweat and long for, the feeling "This is it!" But the thought alone is still not a creative act. The final stage is translation, when you take your creative thought and transform it into action; it becomes useful to you and others.

1.In Paragraph 1, “the moving of the creative spirit” probably means ________.

A. preparation B. explorationC. problem-solvingD. inspiration

2.According to the article, what keeps us from creativity?

A. Having less information to form a good idea.

B. Relying on others during the creative process.

C. Caring about other people’s opinions about us.

D. Thinking about too many ideas at the same time.

3.What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?

A. The unknowing mind is very difficult for us to understand.

B. Creativity arrives when we aren’t focused on any one thing.

C. Daydreaming is useless and has nothing to do with creativity.

D. Showers, long drives and quiet walk are good for our bodies.

4.When does creativity become useful to us and others?

A. When thought is turned into action.

B. When people understand our ideas.

C. When the popular stage is reached.

D. When we think “This is it!”.

5.Which of the following would the author probably support?

A. The creative spirit means an occasional great thought.

B. Others’ voice of judgment allows us to ignore barriers.

C. Creative problem-solving calls for barrier-free imagination.

D. Daydreaming is sure to bring a sudden answer to a problem.
