Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving
the real world behind you. But do you know that showering ___1___ also benefit your mind?
.
A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US
interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. ___2___ turned out that nearly two-thirds of the
interviewees said they experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in
the shower than at work. So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can
explain it.
Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone ___3___(relate) to our
creativity. “People ___4___(vary) in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of
dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower
can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring ‘Aha!' moment to
us.”
___5___ the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you
have been stuck with. Especially when you ___6___(think) hard all day about a problem, jumping
into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings
and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson, author of Your
Creative Brain, “a showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation (孵化) period’ for your ideas.”
Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do
___7___(frequently) in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change
of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive
changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may
create a distance and force you to think from a new perspective.”
Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn't just be in the
bathroom that you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, ___8___ female American
writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows ___9___
she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind,
____10____ it's a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.
