2、 on the way we think and particularly in the field of creativity. He coined the phrase “lateral thinking“ (水平思考) which involves approaching problems from diverse, unexpected angles and from different perspectives. Dr. de Bono meant to differentiate lateral thinkingin which you push the mind to make

3、sudden turns- from vertical thinking, which is logical and sequential thinking.Lateral thinking can be learned, and Dr. de Bono has created several techniques to help you apply lateral thinking to problem solving and idea generation. Some of these are the following: think of as many different altern

4、atives for solving a problem as you possibly can; challenge any assumptions you may have about your problem; and insert random elements which will encourage you to look at the problem from a different and unexpected perspective.Challenge your assumptionsAssumptions are mental shortcuts: we assume th

5、at a situation were facing is like other situations weve encountered before, and that what worked then will work once again. In fact, the more experienced we are in a particular area, the more likely we are Io bring lots of baggage to the problem, which can inhibit us from finding novel and creative

6、 solutions.In order to challenge your assumptions, write down all of the dominant ideas that apply to a particular situation and then deliberately challenge them. List all of the assumptions that youre making and next to each one write a counter-assumptionnot necessarily its negation, but its opposi

7、te.Once you drop preconceived notions youre more likely to find better solutions. One approachsuggested by Jurgen Wolff on his blog Time to Write is to pretend that youre a Martian(火星人) that has just landed on earth and is seeing things on this planet for the first time. This would put you in a posi

8、tion of questioning everything, seeing your problem or situation with completely fresh eyes, and taking nothing for granted.introduce random elementsSelecting a random element that has absolutely no connection to the problem at hand provides an unexpected entry point to the problem so that you can f

9、ace it from a unique angle. Ive mentioned using a random word as an initial stimulus on this blog before. De Bono explains that the brain is so good at making connections that it will find a way to connect the random word to the problem at hand, no matter how remote the word may seem.Take a word fro

10、m a random word generatoror open the dictionary to a random page and select a word extract its underlying principles, and then apply them to your problem. Be careful not to discard a specific word because you simply conclude that its of no use and then getting another word instead. If you do this yo

11、ure probably just looking for a word that would neatly fit the problem youre trying to solve. Instead of a word, you can also use a picture as the random element or even an object.In addition, the random element that you introduce can be a “false rule“. Basically, you take a rule, quote, idea or sug

12、gestion from somewhere else and apply it to your own situation.How does applying the “false rule“ to your problem make you see it differently? What new elements does it introduce? How does it shift your perception of the problem? Does the general principle of the rule also apply to your problem?The

13、general principle of the random input, whether its a word, picture, object or false rule, is to open up new lines of thinking. If youre stuck and have run out of ideas during the creative thinking process, try a random element to help you find a starting point.Two lateral thinking puzzlesHere are tw

14、o lateral thinking puzzles for you to try and resolve (the answers are provided below, but make an effort to resolve the problems before looking at the answer):1. Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They dont know what he looks like, but they kn

15、ow his name is John. Inside they find a carpenter, a taxi driver, a car mechanic and a fireman playing cards. Without even asking his name, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know theyve got their man?2. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first

16、is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins(刺客) with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that havent eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?Solutions to the two lateral thinking problems aboveThe solution to the first problem above is that there was only one man sitting

17、at the table; the other three, the carpenter, the taxi driver, and the mechanic were women.As for the second problem, the safest room is the third. Lions that havent eaten in three years are dead.Lesson in lateral thinkingEdward de Bono tells the story of a farmer in a small Indian village who owed

18、lots of money to the village moneylender and did not have the means to pay it back. The moneylender was old and ugly and was attracted to the farmers beautiful young daughter. The devious moneylender proposed the following: he would pick up two pebbles from the roadone black and one whiteand put the

19、m in a bag. The girl would then put her hand in the bag and take out a pebble.If she took out the black pebble, she had to marry the moneylender and her fathers debt would be forgiven. If she took out the white pebble, she didnt have to marry the moneylender and her fathers debt would still be forgi

20、ven. If she refused to take out a pebble her father would be put in jail.As the moneylender bent down to pick up the pebbles from the road, the girl noticed that he picked up two black pebbles and put them in the bag. What should she do? If youre using logical thinking you would probably conclude th

21、at the girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the moneylender as a cheat.However, what the girl did was to put her hand in the bag and take out a pebble. She then pretended to stumble and let the pebble fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lo

22、st among all the other pebbles.“Oh, how clumsy of me, she said, “But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one thats left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked.“Obviously, since the pebble that was left in the bag was black, then she must have picked the white pebble. Since the mone

23、ylender couldnt admit what he had done, the girl effectively turned what looked like an impossible situation into an advantage.ConclusionWhile logic is concerned with “truth“ and “what is“, lateral thinking is concerned with “possibilities“ and “what could be“. You can train your mind to automatical

24、ly approach situations from different angles and perspectives. One way to this is by solving lateral thinking puzzles, which demand an open mind and a creative approach.（分数：70.00）(1).What is the passage mainly about?（分数：7.00）A.The definition of creativity.B.The achievements of Edward de Bono.C.The i
