All of us face problems. Unfortunately, we don't always know how to solve them. Our usual solutions may not work in every situation. That's why we need to think creatively to come up with creative solutions. We may not consider ourselves creative people, but if we can improve our creative thinking, new ideas will emerge. Following are some ways to boost your creativity.
First, be curious. Don't take for granted what we do or use every day. Think about how to do things differently. Sometimes the best ideas come from combining old ideas or changing them slightly. Second, avoid being immediately critical. When we think of a new idea, write it down—and save it. It may turn out to be useful later.
In addition, ask "what if". Instead of just accepting what we know as reality, asking "what if" may help us come up with new ideas. Then, take some time to relax. When we are not making any headway with our problem, stop working on it and do something completely different. We may come back to the problem with a fresh outlook and a new way to solve it. Try some of these ideas, and you'll find that being creative isn't so hard at all!
【1】The passage II mainly about _________.
A.how we can improve our creativity B.what creative problems we might face in life

Answer the questions IN COMPLETE SENTENCES:
In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and machines. But this did not stop them. For example, some people in the United States worked very hard. Mathew Brady, a famous American photographer, was one of them. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生). Photography also became one kind of art at the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed some feelings, like other kinds of art.
【1】Why did Niepce invent the first camera?
【2】According to this passage, how many important dates were there in the history of photography?
【3】In the early days, photographers didn't feel like taking pictures of moving things because they had to carry a lot of film and machines, did they?
【4】How were the pictures taken by Mathew Brady?
【5】Why do people think photography had become a kind of art by the end of the 19th century?
