When I was in school，the class I dreaded most was my eighth grade art class.The teacher put down my every attempt at completing an assignment.I simply couldn't produce art the way she wanted it.Luckily，I'd already proven myself in other creative areas.Yet，that art teacher was successful in convincing me that I had no talent for painting，drawing，or anything related to them.Imagine my surprise when I published my nature photography and became a volunteer art teacher!
    Unfortunately，my story is all too familiar to many people who come through my workshops and practice.Even more unfortunately，the vast majority of people were so discouraged in childhood that they cut off the creative impulse （沖動(dòng)） in most areas of their lives.Their teachers，parents，or classmates convinced them they had no talent，so they gave up.The pain of failure was simply too great.
    Why have we forgotten creativity is an experience，not a result？Let's consider why we express creativity in first place.To be creative is to be human.Everything we have at our disposal （處理） is the result of someone's creative expression and willingness to take a risk.Even so，for creativity to flower and feel free of encumbrance （累贅），it needs to be about the joyful moments spent creating，not just about what we have to show for those moments.
    Whatever pattern you need to break，try to make it about the pleasure and not about the outcome.Therefore，I'd urge you to curb your perfectionism not enthusiasm!Perfectionism is the leading killer of artistic expression.Relax a little and bring back your childlike nature when you create.Children instinctively （本能地） know how to give over to the joy --- until someone teaches them otherwise!Let your creation be whatever it wants to be.See if it can lead you rather than the other way around.Let your unconsciousness come through，and let the expression of yourself be beautiful regardless of how it compares to anything else.After all，it's yours，and no one but you could create it!

1．Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud，whether it was in the supermarket or on the street，I used to think how annoying it was.That was until a few months ago.
   Recently，my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness，asking me to fix the "little girl" pattern on her wheelchair seat.Not wanting her to stand out at school，I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker，eager to erase whatever childish signs I could.Shortly after，Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school.This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school，as we tried to make sure she didn't fall behind on her schoolwork.
   I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life.Back then，it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals，as she spent so much time in them.No matter how sick she got，however，she always had a positive attitude.But this was different：Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did.Zoe usually sings all the time，whether she's playing，riding in the car，or just doing her homework.There was no need for a radio in our house；Zoe provided the music for us.Consumed （被折磨）with my motherly worries， it was more concerning to me than her sickness.
   One day，however，I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner.I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. "Pure delight. '' I thought to myself.Her voice slowly grew stronger，and soon，both the car and the house were filled with her music once more.How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped，weeks and weeks ago？Now，thankfully，she's back in school，smiling and singing，and I'm thankful for each and every song she sings.
   These days，whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves，I don't get mad.Instead，I smile，as I know that by singing out loud，they're simply sharing their happiness with the world.

3．I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science.When someone hears what I study，I'm usually meant with two reactions.First up is a small smile with the word "overachiever" on the tip of their tongue.The second is a look of confusion，followed by an exaggerated （夸張的） "why？".The short answer：I want to be a problem solver，and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person.In addition，I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture.
   It's the beginning of a new year，and a lot of first-years have plans for double or triple majors.However，as most of us quickly realize after that first fall semester，college is a lot!We are unavoidably forced to make choices - do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears？The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you're passionate about something，it's not going to feel like work.Political Science can be challenging，but to me，it's fun to read the Constitution （憲法） and see the impact each word has on our interpretation.
   This may sound hard to accept，but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you're in a race with your peers，you're only running yourself into the ground.Don't double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume （簡(jiǎn)歷），because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years.What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have - whether it be in your study，career，or something else your career and study will enable you to do.
   Always think about your "why" when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major entails.Because at the end of the day，it's going to be you doing the homework - so try to enjoy what you're doing along the ride for what it's worth.

（2）What enables the writer to enjoy learning Political Science？

A．The value of studying the Constitution.
B．The influence of learning engineering.
C．His career planning for the future.
D．His enthusiasm for the major.
（3）According to the author，what causes multiple majors' hard situation in college？

A．Adjusting the schedule for majors constantly.
B．Pursuing multiple majors out of competitive motivation.
C．Making random choices without sufficient consideration.
D．Estimating the difficulty of multiple majoring inaccurately.
（4）What is the author's purpose of writing the text？
