Across the English Channel



To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.It's a hard work and it makes you short of breath.To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes(as only as you're not held up at the airport),but it's an expensive way to travel.You can travel by hovercraft if you don't mind the noise,and that takes forty minutes.Otherwise you can go by boat,if you dreams of being able to drive to France in your own car."Not possible",you say.Well wait a minute.People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.

This time,the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London.A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge,whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only.

Why is this idea being discussed again?Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC（欧共体）?Well, perhaps. The main reason, though,is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London's disused dockland（船坞地）.A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize（使······重新具有活力）the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel,you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they are still warm!

Which of the following statements is true?
A:Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.
B:The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.
C:It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.
D:A tunnel or bridge would only reach as far as the coast.

Three Ways to Become More Creative

Most people believe they don't have much imagination.They are wrong. Everyone has imagination,but
most of us,once we become adults,forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works
of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe
you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!Here are three
techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them.First,think about
the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for exam-
pie,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence,
etc.Think of as many as you can?The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do?So imagine
you want to buy a friend an original present,you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the
night.
Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want.
Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski,you can now prac-
tice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.May-
be you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators（谈判者）use this technique in business;
and so do writers.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions:
what does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants?
What does she dream about?If your goal involves other people,put yourself" in their shoes".The best fisher-
men think like fish!

According to the first technique,if you need to solve a problem_______________.
A:you should link it with candles
B:you have to think of buying a present for a friend
C:you should link it with as many words as possible
D:you could find an image and try to link it with the problem
