Revision Unit 18 InventionsDictation Our ability to come up with god ideas or solutions is limited by the way we normally think. Creative thinkers try to break away from their normal patterns of thought – “the box” – in order to solve difficult problems. They also realize that partial answers and even failures help us better understand a problem.Revision of the text1.Take another look at it. Our perception of things can also be a limiting factor. If we only view a problem in one way, we may not be able to solve it. Great thinkers like to use different ways to look at a problem – using pictures, words, numbers, models etc.2.Keep trying. The more ideas an inventor examines, the more likely he or she is to find a good one. Great inventions are rarely the result of a sudden flash of genius, but rather tend to come after a long series of trial and error. Many famous inventors forced themselves to keep thinking and making new inventions even when they did not feel inspired.Word study1.我们所知道的东西和我们已经学到手的东西也可能限制我们的思维。What we know and what we have learnt may also limit our thinking.limit (1) vt. 限制,限定 limit + n. + (to n.)limited 医生限制我的饭量. 妈妈限制我们每人吃一块蛋糕.The doctor limits the amount of food that I eat.My mother limited us to one cake each.(2) n. 限制,限定There is a limit to everything.go beyond / over the limit set a limit to without limit to the limit ofreach the limit of one’s patience 凡事都有限度.超过限度限制,控制无限制地到…极限达到了忍无可忍的地步without limitYou can’t drink____________.The team performed _____________its capabilities.You can’t drive – you’re_____________.to the limit ofover the limit2.正如突破常规思考一样，这个换个角度看问题的过程涉及到一系列不同的尝试和一些错误的开端。As with thinking outside the box, the process includes a series of different attempts and several false starts.attempt (1) vt. = try attempt sth./attempt to do sth.他们已经开始了一项艰难的工作.我试图在一小时读完这本小说.
