一、Vocabulary and structure 四、Translation1. Every new thought or idea has to be connected to what we already know. Unfortunately, it is easy to limit the possibilities of a new idea by connecting it to only one area of our previous knowledge. Great thinkers are aware of this and try to combine new and old ideas in as many different ways as possible. They also try to make connections that may seem strange at first. By comparing and connecting ideas and objects in new ways, creative thinkers are able to think of new applications and solutions. Many of the things that we use every day were invented by someone who saw similarities between his or her ideas and objects or systems in the world.
每一个新思想或新思路都会与我们已有的知识联系起来,不幸的是,仅把这些新想法或新思路与我们已有知识的一个领域联系起来将很容易限制它们实现的可能性。伟大的思想家了解到这一点,并且设法把新思想与旧知识以尽可能多的不同方式联系起来。他们也尝试进行一些起初看来很奇怪的联系。通过新方法比较和联系思想与目标,富有创造性的思想家能够想出新的应用和解决办法。我们现在每天使用的许多东西都是由那些发现其想法与世间对象或系统相似性的人发明的。

Good afternoon, everyone,
Welcome to our school! High school students are faced with a choice between arts and science. It was not an easy choice for me to make. After careful consideration, though. I decide on science as my main subject of study. The reasons are as follows.
First, science graduates are in greater demand than arts ones in China. Second, the science major help me achieve my childhood dream of becoming a scientist. Third, my parents wish me to study science at college because they believe I will have a brighter future as a science student. Last but not least, my physics teacher is my role model, whose influence on me had a lot to do with my decision.
It is for these reasons that I finally made my choice.
Thinks!
