Read the article and match the missing headings (1–6) with each section (A–E). There is one heading you do not need.
1 Have a good laugh 2 Sit down 3 Get your legs moving 4 Noise 5 Daydream 6 Think outside the box
A _______________________________ In a recent experiment, scientists gave the same task to a group of people who
stayed sitting down and to a group who went for a stroll outside. What they found supports what many
people believe, that getting out and about is very good for creativity. In fact, 100 per cent of the group that
went for a walk produced better quality ideas and produced them more quickly. The researchers then
compared a group walking on a treadmill inside with those stretching their legs outside and found that
while being outside was good for creativity, even walking on a treadmill helped, which suggests that it is the
movement which is most important.
B _____________________________ _Your teacher may tell you off for staring out of the window at nothing, but
having a wandering mind may be a sign of intelligence and creativity, according to a new study. The
scientists recorded brain activity while people lay still, but not asleep, and concluded that daydreaming can
help people become better problem-solvers. However, if you’re simply not paying attention when you
should be, that clearly isn’t beneficial.

B1 INTERMEDIO
C __________________________ Be willing to challenge things that you have always done. A group of Japanese
watermelon farmers had an issue with the way that watermelons were difficult to pack and store. Their
round shape meant that they took up a lot of space, making their transport more expensive. But why do
watermelons actually need to be round? thought the farmers. They began growing the fruit in square
glass boxes, thus creating square watermelons. They just needed to think differently to find the perfect
solution.
D _______________________ Believe it or not, more than one research study has shown that people who
watch a comedy film are much better afterwards at coming up with a creative solution to a problem than
those who watched a horror film. It appears that having a chuckle makes us feel more relaxed, which helps
the creative process. It is very difficult to be creative when you’re stressed, because the mind is too
focused on survival.
E ___________________________ You might imagine that you will be at your most creative if you are able to
work in complete silence, but you’d be wrong. Research shows that for most creative tasks, a low level of
noise, like the chatter that you get in a café, is best. Complete silence is good when you need to focus on a
difficult task, but when you want to come up with ideas, try a little hubbub.

Torrance Test
The TTCT (Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking)
assesses how creatively a mind works. They are very

of traditionally taught subjects such as reading or math,
these tests assess creativity. Tests are scored on a
