问题     When we speak of "symbolic process" in the brain or in the mind, we are referring to our ability to【C1】______elements of our experience and to【C2】______them with distinct mental symbols. Other species  certainly possess【C3】______in some sense, but as far as we know, they live in the world simply【C4】______it presents itself to them.【C5】______, for them the environment seems very much like a continuum,  rather than a place, like ours, that is【C6】______into the huge number of separate elements【C7】______which we humans give individual names. By separating out its elements in this way, human beings are able constantly to re-create the world, and individual aspects of it, in their mind. And【C8】______makes this possible is the ability to form and to【C9】______mental symbols that correspond to elements we【C10】______in the world within and【C11】______ourselves. Members of other species often display high【C12】______of intuitive reasoning, reacting to stimuli front the environment in quite complicated ways,【C13】______....  only humans are able arbitrarily to【C14】______and recombine mental symbols and to ask themselves  questions such as ."What if". And it is the ability to do this,【C15】______everything else, that forms the foundation of our boasted creativity.
    Of course,【C16】______reasoning still remains a fundamental【C17】______of our mental processes; what we have done is to add the capacity for symbolic manipulation【C18】______this basic ability. An intuitive appreciation of the relationships among【C19】______and ideas is, for example, almost certainly as large a force in basic scientific creativity【C20】______is symbolic representation; but in the end it is the unique of the two that makes science--or art, or technology— possible.  [br] 【C9】
