I then took the letter and reread it.He asked, “How about if I look at it again and make notes between the space?” I agreed. A half hour later I looked at his

18、 notes and told him he didnt understand the situation and what I really wanted to express. He shrugged (耸肩) and said OK. I took the letter and went back to my computer and again revised. As I was writing, I could see my letter improving based on his suggestions. When I finished, I proudly handed the

19、 letter back to my husband.

But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Y

26、ale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science

27、can explain it.Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone (荷尔蒙) closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make u

Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from th

For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether its a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.28According to the article, what changes can showering cause?A.
