Discoveries in science and technology are thought by "
untaught minds
" to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of laborious trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.
The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take the most shots at the goal—and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovators and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions; professional innovators see as solid possibilities.
"Creative thinking may mean simply the realization mat there’s no particular virtue in doing things the way they have always been done," wrote Rudolph Flesch, a language authority. This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: "How come nobody thought of that before?"
The creative approach begins with the proposition that nothing is as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are bound to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends.
Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer. [br] What is the major difference between inventors and ordinary people?
选项
A、Inventors possess more creative thinking.
B、Common people are more likely to focus on daily issues.
C、The way they deal with ideas.
D、Inventors receive higher education.
答案
C
解析
细节题。题干问,发明创新者与普通人的区别。原文第二段.“The primedifference between innovators and others is one of approach”后两句即具体解释说明此句含义。虽然每个人都有自己的想法,但发明家会钻研并证明其可行与否,但普通人只把想法当做抽象概念。不会去实施。可知,approach在此语境下指对待想法的方式。
