8、Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

 If the package looks pretty, people will buy just about anything. So says an advertising executive in New York, and he has proved his point by selling boxes of rubbish for the price of an expensive bottle of wine.

Justin Gignac,26, has sold almost 900    1   presented plastic boxes of rubbish from the street of Big Apple at between ＄50 and ＄100 each. Buyers from 19 countries have paid for the souvenirs（纪念品）. The idea has been so successful that he is thinking of promoting it around the world.

It all began when Mr. Gignac was at a summer workshop, “We had a discussion about the importance of   2  ,”he recalls.” Someone said packaging was unimportant. I disagreed. The only way to prove it was by selling something nobody would ever want.”

He searches the streets of Manhattan and typical   3   include broken glass, subway tickets, Starbucks cups and used   4   forks. “Special editions” are offered at a high price. He charged ＄100 for rubbish from the opening day of the New York Yankees’ stadium.

Mr. Gignac denies   5   his customers for fools: “They know what they’re getting. They appreciate the fact that they’re taking something nobody would want and finding beauty in it.”

Some   6   customers include people who used to live in the city and want a down-to-earth souvenir. He claims he has even sold to art collectors.

Realizing that the concept appears to be a real money-maker, Mr. Gignac has   7   a company and is employing his girlfriend as vice president. He   8   to discuss his profit margins: “It’s actually quite a lot of effort putting them together-but yes, garbage is free.”

Mr. Gignac is considering more varieties of souvenirs. He maintains that he has signed   9   with people interested in similar projects from as far as Berlin and London.

7、Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are    1   .Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to    2   it. Creativity isn’t always   3   with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time   4   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.

Making connections. This technique involves taking  5   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 example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words   6   with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc．Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the   7   to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to but a friend an original   8  ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.

NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t  9   .You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new   10   .If your goal is to learn to ski,   11   , you can now practise skiing every day of your life （because you have the time and the money）. Now   12    this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January.

Be someone else! Look at the situation from a    13   point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the   14   in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their   15   .
