Creative solutions require a change of perspective. 35 The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique that is based on the thought that to change your perspective, you sometimes need to change the order of the words in your problem definition. How you change the order of the words doesnt matter much, as long as the key words are reversed. 36 Your challenge is “How do we make sure that fewer people take cars to their work?”. Swapping the key words, you could rephrase this challenge as “How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work?” In this case, the first statement will make you think of alternative means of transportation, like trains or bikes, while the second statement will probably make you think of solutions like carpoolingfewer cars for the same number of people.Not every problem statement is suitable for a reversal. Sometimes using this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether. 37 For instance, the question “how might we sell more washing machines?” is not easily reversedthere is no key word to swap with “washing machines”. Yet, when you rephrase the question to “How might we sell more washing machines to young parents?” you can easily change it to “How might we sell more young parents to washing machines? 38 You could interpret this last sentence as “the washing machine pays the young parents to try it out”. Then, you could start communicating to potential buyers how much they will save each year when they choose your energy efficient washing machine.As this example shows, some reversals will require a very flexible way of thinking. 39 However, thinking about the tiny amount of time it will “cost” you to try out a reversal, you have very little to lose and, potentially, lots to gain.A. The second problem statement is much more logical.B. Often it helps to add one more key word to the sentence.C. Rephrasing your challenge is to change the problem statement.D. A great way to do this is by “reversing” your problem statement.E. For instance, imagine you are responsible for limiting the traffic jam in your area.F. Admittedly, it is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a creative thought. G. Not everyone will be able to move from an unreasonable statement to a useful solution.西城区2020-2021学年度第二学期高三综合练习(一模) 高三英语 2021.4第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you text often, you likely have a “texting style”. Do you often use emojis? Or what about using correct punctuation (标点)? What do all these texting habits say about you? To help you understand yourself, here are some texting styles that can tell you a lot about your personality. Do you always use emojis when youre texting? Youre most likely someone who is open to showing your emotions and is truthful. 35 To make sure the other person doesnt get the wrong idea about your messages, you make sure to express the tone of messages with an emoji, which can be often used as effective signals in modern social communication.If you like to respond in one-word texts like a quick “Good”, then you most likely have a more reserved personality, and arent as open with your true thoughts and feelings. Because you are not as open with your emotions in texts, you may not care how lengthy your response is. But be careful. 36 Do you value punctuation and grammar in your writing? This love of grammar goes straight into your texts as well as your emails. This seems like a great thing, doesnt it? But in texting, people seem to think otherwise. Simply placing a period at the end of sentences in texts can make you come across as untrustworthy to others. 37 With this texting style, you are rooted in logic and always pay attention to the little details.Are your texts lengthy and thoughtful? 38 Similar to someone who texts with perfect grammar, you are a thoughtful and detail-oriented person, who enjoys deep conversations and likes things that are controlled and stable. 39 Which texting personality are you? Are you a mix of several types? Its important to note that everyone has different ways of texting in different situations. Everyone texts their colleagues in a different style from their family or their friends. If you ever think someone may have left you an unclear or rude text, its better to just ask them in-person what they meant or what they were feeling. A. Do you relate to any of these texting personalities? B. Do you know that you and your friends may have different styles?C. Such texts may also be rated as less sincere than those th
