brainson auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine.Notchoice,but habit rules the unreflecting herd,William Wordsworth said in the19th century.In the ever-changing 21st century,even the word habitcarries anegative implication.So it seems paradoxical to talk about habits in the same context as creativityand innovation.But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciouslydevelop new habits,we create parallel paths,and even entirely new brain cells,that can jump our trains of thought onto new,innovative tracks.Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit,we caninstead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits.In fact,themore new things we try-the more we step outside our comfort zone-the moreinherently creative we become,both in the workplace and in our personal lives.But dont bother trying to kill off old habits;once those ruts of procedure areworn into the brain,theyre there to stay.Instead,the new habits we deliberatelypress into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,saysDawna Markova,author of The Open Mind.But we are taught instead todecide,just as our president calls himselfthe Decider.She adds,however,that to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one.A goodinnovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.All of us work through problems in ways of which were unaware,she says.Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the capacity toapproach challenges in four primary ways:analytically,procedurally,relationally(or collaboratively)and innovatively.At the end of adolescence,however,thebrain shuts down half of that capacity,preserving only those modes of thoughtthat have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis andprocedure,meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborativemodes of thought.This breaks the major rule in the American belief system-that anyone can do anything,explains M.J.Ryan,author of the 2006 bookThis Year I Will.and Ms.Markovas business partner.Thats a lie that wehave perpetuated,and it fosters commonness.Knowing what youre good at anddoing even more of it creates excellence.This is where developing new habitscomes in.英语（一）试题.3.（共14页）21.In Wordsworths view,habitis characterized by beingA.casualB.familiarC.mechanicalD.changeable22.Brain researchers have discovered that the formation of new habits
