1It is a myth that creative people are born with their talents: gifts from God or nature. Creative genius
is latent within many of us, without our realizing. In our everyday lives, we have to perform many acts
out of habit to survive, like opening the door, shaving, getting dressed, walking to work, and so on. So

strongly ingrained are our habits, that when a conscious effort is made to be creative, automatic
response takes over.

The groundwork for keeping creative ability in check begins at school. Schools, later university and
then work teach us to regulate our lives. The truly creative mind is often seen as totally free and
unfettered.

The word, “security”, has both positive and negative meaning. Most of us would say that we wish
security for all its positive sides, both physical and psychological-its evocation of the safety of home, of
undying love, or of freedom from need. Nowadays the word conjures up images of that huge industry
which has developed to protect individuals and property from invasion by “outsiders”. In urban areas of
escalating crime buildings are divided into “secure zones” which often have all the trappings of
combination locks and burglar alarms.

Although it is true that a sedentary life is not good for people’s health, it would be far-fetched to
suggest that doing an office job is directly responsible for the diseases which afflict office workers. A
sedentary lifestyle may indeed lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks, but people often balance
the hours they spend sitting at a desk by joining fitness clubs where they can exercise or play sport.
These clubs encourage their members to watch their diet and to take part in physical activities. People
who do not want to join these clubs will often take walks during their lunch hour, or even jog. The very
fact that they do these things means that they have a sedentary job, but not a sedentary lifestyle

IV. Skim the text and indicate which of the following points focuses on the information below.
1It is a myth that creative people are born with their talents: gifts from God or nature. Creative genius
is latent within many of us, without our realizing. In our everyday lives, we have to perform many acts
out of habit to survive, like opening the door, shaving, getting dressed, walking to work, and so on. So
strongly ingrained are our habits, that when a conscious effort is made to be creative, automatic
response takes over.
The groundwork for keeping creative ability in check begins at school. Schools, later university and
then work teach us to regulate our lives. The truly creative mind is often seen as totally free and
unfettered.

B) Creative people are geniuses
