To be creative, you must dare 16, and courageously express your own outlook and 17 what makes you unique.
答案：(A) take pride in
take pride in 意為「以…為傲」，本句指要有創造力就必須勇於與眾不同、表達自己的看法，並以自身的獨特之處為傲；fall short of（未達到）、get out of（擺脫）、keep up with（跟上）語意都不合。
答對率 39%。
你認得 be proud of，卻沒把 take pride in 一起記——兩個意思一樣，都是「以…為傲」，只差一個用形容詞、一個用名詞：He is proud of his work. ＝ He takes pride in his work.。
空格前面兩個動作 dare to be different、courageously express your own outlook 都是正面的，用 and 接的第三個動作也得是正面的——以自己的獨特為傲。
fall short of（未達到）語氣負面；get out of（擺脫）等於要你甩掉自己的獨特，方向相反；keep up with（跟上）後面該接別人或潮流，不會接自己的特點。
take pride in（以…為傲）、be proud of（以…為傲）、pride oneself on（自豪於）、fall short of（未達到）、keep up with（跟上）。
Experts say that creativity by definition means going against the tradition and breaking the rules. To be creative, you must dare 16, and courageously express your own outlook and 17 what makes you unique. But does our society encourage children to break the rules? I'm afraid the answer is no.
The famous film director Ang Lee recalls his father's disappointment with him when he was young. 18 a small child, he would pick up a broom and pretend to be playing guitar for the entertainment of family guests. Then, when he was studying film in college, he would exhaust himself just for a performance tour. His father, 19 always hoped that he would get a PhD and become a professor, 20 with a scoff: "What is all this nonsense?!"
But it later turned out that it was exactly his courage to "rebel" and to express his own ideas that marks his films with distinct creativity.
