Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say, "I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors" tragedies and stories, and know that they are cheering on.
1. Imitation proves useful when you _____.
A. know you are unique
B. lose the balance of life
C. begin to learn something new
D. get tired of routine practice
2.To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should _____.
A. forget daily fear and pain
B. choose the right example
C. ask others for decisions
D. stay away from stars
3.The trouble a creator faces is _____.
A. the lack of strong motivation
B. the absence of practical ideas
C. how to search for more materials
D. how to use imagination creatively
4.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A. To highlight the importance of creatively.
B. To criticize the characters of role models.
C. To compare imitation with creation.
D. To explain the meaning of success.

“Everything happens for the best,”my mother said whenever I faced disappointment (失望).“If you carry on,one day something good will happen.”
Mother was right,as I discovered after graduating (毕业) from college in 1932,I had decided to try for a job in radio,then work my way up to a sports announcer.I hitchhiked (搭便车) to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got turned down every time.In one studio,a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person.“Go out in the sticks and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,”she said.I thumbed home to Dixon,Illinois.
While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon,my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department (部门).Since Dixon was where I had played high school football,I applied.The job sounded just right for me.But I wasn’t hired.My mother noticed my disappointment.“Everything happens for the best.”Mom reminded me.Dad offered me the car to hunt a job.I tried WOC Radio in Davenport,Iowa.The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter Mac Arthur told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office,I asked aloud,“How can a guy get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”I was waiting for the lift when I heard Mac Arthur calling,“What did you mean about sports? Do you know anything about football?’’ Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to cover an imaginary (想象的) game.Last autumn,my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run.I did a 15-minute build-up to that play, and Peter told me I would cover Saturday’s game! On my way home,I thought of my mother’s words:“If you carry on,one day something good will happen.”
I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I had gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.

I don’t like talking openly about my feelings. That’s probably why I am writing this, because it seems an easier way of telling you how thankful I am to you.
When I first got ill two years ago and had to be taken to hospital, you were the first person I called to tell, maybe because I knew Mum wasn’t going to answer her phone, but probably because you are the first person I call in an emergency.
As one illness turned into another and I was stuck in hospital for weeks, feeling sorry for myself, you were still at my beside trying to talk to me to cheer me up. The illness hit my kidney(肾) and we then realized that I was going to need a transport sooner or later. You put yourself forward to be tested as soon as possible and it turned out you were a perfect match.
Then last year, in March, we both went down for the operation. I woke a few hours afterwards and felt better. It wasn’t until the following day that we got to see each other again. We hugged silently and asked one another how we were. But I never said the words I should have--- thank you. To this day, I still haven’t said those words to you for my kidney.
In the month after the operation, when we were both at home recovering, I made you lunch, went for walks with you. It’s my way of saying that I care for you a great deal and that I am truly thankful for what you did for me.
I want you to know that my silence towards you and the times you tried to talk to me and got nothing weren’t because of you. Maybe one day when you will read this, I hope you know that in my own silent way, I am for ever thankful.
