14．I have been overweight my entire life．I was born with a bone deformity （崎形） in my legs．From an early age I was limited on the type of activity I could do because I was in so much pain．I was freed from gym in school growing up．I became lazy and accepted the fact th at I would always be overweight．I didn't believe in myself．I overate all the time．I would eat lots of sweets，processed foods，chips and fast foods．I reached my heaviest of 287 pounds and a size 24 jeans and XXXL shirts．
In December 2013，my family and I went on a trip to Disneyland．We walked 10 miles each day we were there．To my surprise，I did not have any pain．I suddenly realized something．I knew from that point I needed to get moving to ease my pain and lose the weight．I had walked before but never to that extent．I knew I had to push past the pain and the weight would come off．
I was invited to train with a friend，and at first I couldn't make up my mind to go．I was tired of being in pain．After two weeks，I knew that I had to start somewhere．I took my friend up on her invitation and began working out to lots of physical programs．I began eating non-processed foods．I ate lots of fruits and vegetables．I lost 92 pounds in a year．Now I rarely eat out．I would rather cook my meals from the very beginning so I know what is in them．I do allow myself a good meal once a week．By allowing myself the good meal，I keep away from overeating．
I believe in myself now．I am a better mother to my three boys．I feel stronger．I am a happier person all around．I have even registered for my very first 5K walk/run．I have a newfound love for life and want to inspire others to believe in themselves，so last October I became a BeachBody coach to help others in their fitness journeys．I have always enjoyed helping others，and now I want to be able to help people change their lives．

2．The paper is written in an attempt to discuss what the creative process is．Though much theory has accumulated，little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation．It is true that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by combing emotions，reason，and intuitions（直覺）．But what is the magical synthesis（合成） that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity？
John L．Lowes，in his justly famous"The Road to Xanadu，"developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this interesting question．Imaginative creation．He concludes，is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate．"there is …．the deep well with its chaos（雜亂） of accidently mixing images，but there is likewise the vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form，and with the vision，the controlling will，which gives to that potential beauty actuality．"
The deep well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts，ideas，feelings of the conscious activity．The imaginative vision，an unconscious activity，shines through the land of chaos，of lights and shadows，silently seeking pattern and form．Finally，the conscious mind again，through will，captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art．In this way is unity born out of chaos．
Though there can be no absolute certainty，there is general agreement  that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel（與…．相似），to some extent，Lowes's theory of well，vision，form and will．There are at least three stages in the creative process：preparation，inspiration，work．
In a sense，the period of preparation is all of the writer's life．It is the deep well．It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind．When remembrance of things past reaches the conscious level of the writer's mind，he is ready to go on with the process．Part of this preparation involves learning a medium---learning a language，learning how to write，learning literary forms．It is important to note here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea．Evidence，though not enough，shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it．It is the vision，according to Lowes，that sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form．
（Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than TEN words）

78．John L．Lowes has provided an acceptable answer to the question ofwhatthecreativeprocessis．
79．Well，vision，formandwillare the four elements of John L．Lowes'theoryofwell，vision，form．a(chǎn)ndwill．
80．How does the preparation stage contribute to the development of a creative workTheunconsciousmindcommunicateswiththeconsciousmind（inthisstage）．．？
81．According to the passage，what is the relationship between the idea and formTheideagivesbirthtotheform/Theideaissuperiortotheform．

9．When my daughter Sally was five，I bought Grimm's Fairy Tales and read Snow White to her one night．At the end of the original Grimm tale，Snow White's stepmother is made to put on red-hot iron shoes and dance until she falls down dead．
This came as something of a shock．I always thought fairytales had happy endings．And I didn't want my five-year-old daughter going to sleep thinking："Thank goodness they tortured（折磨）that old woman to death．"That's when I decided to write fairy tales．
In the years that followed，I wrote tales non-stop and read them to Sally at bedtime．The Corn Dolly was based on a child who was always complaining；The Silly King was just a silly story Sally loved；1wrote The Witch and the Rainbow Cat for Sally because of her enormous  appetite  for  stories  about  witches  while Dr Bonocolus's Devil is a new version of the Faust legend．
Nifobobinus，however，was different．I wrote this book when Sally was older and engaged with all things girls have to do-who's friends with who，who stuck a sticker on the back of whose boyfriend，or whatever thing she felt funny．
Nicobobinus，the boy who could do anything，came out of my desire for a more innocent world．He lived a 1ong time ago，in a city called Venice．Only his best friend，Rosie，knew he could，and nobody took any notice of anything Rosie said，because she was always having wild ideas anyway．
Nicobobinus was so different that it turned out to be an instant hit．The Times called me"an author setting out to rival the classic fairytales"．I asked Sally what she thought of Nicobobinus．She said it was her favourite．

21．What led the writer to start writing fairy tales for her daughter？B
A．His daughter's strong interest in fairy tales．
B．The frightening ends of past fairy tales．
C．His desire to let his daughter know more stories．
D．His attempt to fill his daughter's bedtime with something．
22．We can infer from the third paragraph that the writerA．
A．was a very productive fairy tale writer
B．created his stories out of his own interest
C．based all his stories on some old legends
D．never described witches in his fairy tales
23．When creating Nicobobinus，the first thing the writer considered wasD．
A．what story the publisher wanted to get
B．the difference of the story from other stories
C．proper ways to keep his daughter Sally innocent
D．the shifts of his daughter's interests
24．The underlined word"rival"in the last paragraph can be replaced byC．
A．follow    B．explore
C．challenge D．recommend．
