Unit 8 Imagination /想象力

Preview
    “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein. Yet education has for too many years ignored this fact. Now, research in America shows that students who study imaginative subjects like art, music and drama score as much as 68 points higher on a national university entrance examination than those who have no education in these areas. In addition, the more arts courses students complete, the higher the examination scores are. Such results have occurred repeatedly for more than a dozen years with over one million high school students. These results and recent brain research on arts students have finally registered the importance of imagination to learning. In this unit, you will meet many examples of imaginative thinking which show that famous people do not succeed without this essential quality.
