Critics of early schooling cite research that questions whether 4-year-old children are ready to take on formal learning. Educators find that【21】toddlers are more likely to succeed during. their school careers.【22】their younger counterparts are more likely to【23】. Kindergarten children who turn five during the【24】half of the year seem to be at a disadvantage when it【25】physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. Additionally, children who are nearly six when they enter kindergarten【26】to receive better grades and score higher on achievement【27】throughout their schooling experience【28】do those who begin kindergarten having just turned five. Being bright and verbally skillful and being ready for school do not seem to be the【29】thing. It is easy to confuse the superficial poise and sophistication of many of today's children【30】inner maturity. Indeed, evidence suggests that early schooling boomerangs: Youngsters【31】parents push them to attain academic success in preschool are less creative, have【32】anxiety about tests, and, by the end of kindergarten, fall to maintain their initial academic advantage【33】their less-pressured peers.

But they point out that many of the things children once did in first grade are now【38】of them in kindergarten, and they worry lest more and more will now be asked of 4- year-olds. These psychologists and educators believe we are driving young children too【39】and thereby depriving them of their【40】.

When we think of creative people the names that probably spring to mind are those of men such as Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Pablo Picasso, i.e. , great artists, inventors and scientists--a select and exceptionally gifted body of men with rare talent and genius. The tendency to regard creativity and imaginative thinking as the exclusive province of a lucky few disregards the creative and imaginative aspects inherent in the solution of many of the tasks we regularly have to face--the discovery and development of new method and techniques, the improvement of old methods, existing inventions and products.

Everyone has creative ability to some extent. Creative thinking involves posing oneself a problem and then finding a solution along new and unconventional lines. It involves drawing new comparisons, discovering new combinations, and/or new applications of things that are already known.

It follows, then, that a creative person will exhibit great intellectual curiosity and imagination. He will be alert and observant with a great store of information which he will be able to sort out and combine, in the solution of problems. He will be emotionally receptive(善于接受的)to new and unconventional ideas and will be less interested in facts than in their implications. Most important of all, he will be able to communicate freely and will not be too concerned about other people's reaction to his apparently "crazy" ideas. People called the Wright brothers mad but it did not stop them from becoming the first men to construct and fly a heavier-than-air craft.

According to the passage, it is generally believed that ______.

A．only Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Pablo Picasso are creative

B．only successful people are creative

C．only a few people are creative

D．everyone can be creative
