31．The future belongs to the flexible mind．This is the argument behind best-selling author Leonard Mlodinow's new book，Elastic（靈活的），which examines the ever-increasing changes we find ourselves living through，and the ways of thinking best suited to them．
Do we need to develop a flexible mind？
Times we live in demand a flexible style of thinking．In politics，we now have to cope with more scandals in a single year than we used to encounter in a lifetime．Meanwhile，the speed and processing power of computers makes it difficult for us to navigate a landscape in which，the number of websites has been doubling every two to three years，and the way we use and access them is subject to frequent "disastrous changes"．More importantly，social attitudes are changing just as fast．
Logical thought is an analysis that can be described by an algorithm （算術(shù)）of the kind that computers follow．Elastic thought cannot．Logical thought is solved to help us face the everyday challenges of life while elastic thought helps us succeed when circumstances change．Elastic thought is where our new ideas come from．Logical thought can determine how to drive from our home to the grocery store most efficiently，but it's elastic thought that gave us the automobile．
What makes it hard to think "flexibly"？
Flexible thinking comes naturally to all humans，but one way it may be blocked is through another power exercised by our brain，the ability to tune out "crazy" ideas．A single information processor depends on an algorithm to solve a problem．The human brain，instead，acts as a set of interacting and competing systems．They use our knowledge and expectations of the world to assess ideas．That approach is well suited to a stable environment．But it can be less productive when circumstances change．
How can we learn to be more flexible in our own thinking？
One of the abilities most important to flexible thinking is the power to relax our mind and let our guard down．If we are constantly alerted，our ideas may have a narrow range，and tend to be conventional．
One can also cultivate flexible thinking by adjusting one's external conditions．Studies show that sitting in a darkened room，or closing our eyes，can widen our perspective．Low ceilings，narrow corridors，and windowless offices have the opposite effect．Being able to think without any kind of time pressure is also important when striving for novel ideas．Just as important，interruptions are deadly．A short phone call，e-mail or even a text message can redirect your attention and thoughts．
As a more general exercise to nurture our mental flexibility we can try to pay special attention to one of our strongly held beliefs，take it seriously and recall times in the past that we were wrong about something，our intellectual interactions may also be helpful．Deep （1） into Flexible ThinkingPassage outline Supporting details （2） to

32．請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下面文字，并按照要求用英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)一篇150詞左右的文章．
The University of Cambridge confirmed on Monday that it had been using scores from China's national college entrance examination， or gaokao， as part of its admission criteria for Chinese students for several years．
It says in Weibo post， however， that it does not admit students only based on their test scores．
The University statement came after some Chinese media reported over the weekend that the university would start to admit Chinese students that ranked in the top 0.1 percent in the gaokao in their province， indicating that it would try to compete for talent with top universities in China．
The news immediately became one of the most viewed topics on social media， being read by 280 million users on Sina Weibo．
The gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia， the United States， Canada and Europe． The University of New Hampshire became the first US state university to accept the gaokao in its entrance criteria last year． The test is also recognized by 30 universities in Australia and 30 in Canada， as well as colleges in Italy， France and Spain．
