But despite this, recent numbers have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.So

What alternative uses come to mind?What you just practiced-the conscious act of wearing another self-is an exercise that, according to psychiatrist Srini

19、Pillay, MD, is essential to being creative.One great irony （ 讽刺 ） about our collective addiction to creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways.That is to say, most of us marry creativity to our concept of self : Either we re “ creative ” or we arent, without much of a middle ground. I

20、m just not a creative person!” a discouraged student might say in art class, while another mblame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, making a comment Im very right-brained.Dr.Pillay, an assistant professor at Harvard University, has spent years overturning these ideas.

The authors, psycholog

The researchers then presented them all with ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, a

23、nd a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. The former group came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas the latter had the fewest.These results suggest that creativity is not an individ ual characteristic but a“ product of context and pers

24、pectiveEveryone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.Dr. Pillays work takes this a step further: He argues that simply identifying yourself as creative is less powerful than taking the brave, creative step of imagining you are somebody else. This exercise, which he call

25、s psychological Halloweenism, refers to the conscious action of“ wearing another self. An actor may employ this techniqueinto character, but anyone can use it. According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when your

26、e not focused on a specific task or thought. Most people spend nearly half of their days in a state of unfocus.

30、udy. It seems that the only way to know if were putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?When we havent taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with

31、a book. Its no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation whe

32、re, instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious（恶性的）cycle that traps us intoineffective revision, or poor progress fueling further annoyance.Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fig
