Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have an important product: a new type of

13、tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his old com

14、pany learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking and developing new ideas.Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence (智慧). Just because a person is highly intelligent does not m

15、ean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.Unluckily, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, m

16、any educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cant recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.It is important to give children choices.

17、 From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if its choosing between two kinds of food for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their mo

18、ney, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire (欲望) to find a way out of trouble.1What did the company where Dick Drew work learn from its

19、mistake?AThey encouraged people to work a longer time.BThey discouraged (阻碍) people to think freely.CThey asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.DThey encouraged people to spend some of their work time thinking and improving new ideas.2Why dont schools try to encourage creati

20、vity?AThey dont understand the importance of education.BThey dont want their students to make mistakes.CThey pay too much attention to examination marks and language skills.DThey think it more important to remember some information.3What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend

21、their money?ATry to help them as much as possibleBTake no notice of whatever they doCHelp them if their decision is wrong, but not too muchDLeave them as they are4The best title for the passage can be _.AThe importance of creativityBWhat is creativity?CThe history of creativityDHow can we develop cr

22、eativity?B14、Night Milk and SleepA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off if it is milked from a cow at night. Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatoni

23、n(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melato

24、nin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has no

25、t been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax. Milk is also sugar-free and

26、additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.1What does the phrase nod off in the first paragraph mean?ATry to keep awake.BTry to s

27、leep a longer time.CChange from being awake to a sleeping state.DChange from a sleeping state to being awake.2According to the text, the mice being fed with night time milk _.Awoke up later Bwere more anxiousCwere less active Dcould not sleep well3Why do lots of people think milk is excellent for he

28、lping sleep?ABecause many people like drinking milk.BBecause its been tested on mice ten times.CBecause it can make people more energetic.DBecause it contains calcium, which helps people to relax.C15、It was summer in Russia. My goal there at the Ozernaya River was to take photos of brown bears as th

29、ey caught fish.During the first few days, I was mainly watching different bears to see which ones would be the best to take pictures of. I usually saw about 10 to 15 bears at a time, but as many as 600 living near came to this river when the salmon(鲑鱼) were swimming there to lay their eggs. I put my

30、 camera underwater and then waited for bears to move near.I never moved towards them I let them choose whether to come closer. Over time, the bears were used to my being there. But if a bear started moving its head from side to side. I knew it was time for me to move away.Its no easy task for a 1300

31、-pound bear to catch a fish. Bears areclumsyunderwater and salmon are fast. But bears are smart enough to catch a sick fish.Soon I saw a bear doing just that. He was moving slowly towards a fish. After several tries, the hungry bear managed to catch the fish, and he sat down right in the river to ea

32、t his meal. This bear didnt pay attention to my camera as he caught and ate his salmon. That was a good opportunity for me to take photos. Once the meal was over, he stayed in the rover to relax.

However, it couldnt feel perfect because Peppers heal

36、th was becoming worse. Her life had already been longer than we expectedshe was fourteenand yet her mind was still sharp. Her love for life made us feel better.

38、 to Mom as if asking, May I open another?Go ahead, girl! Mom encouraged.For the next few minutes, Pepper opened each of her Christmas presents.

43、ortance of Helping OthersDEnjoying the Happiness of Making FriendsE17、 The stereotype(模式化的思想) is that Americans are lazy, but studies show that people in the USA get less vacation time than people in other parts of the world. A typical American worker gets two or three weeks off out of a whole year

44、for vacation, but most US workers cannot. They usually have to be spread out throughout the year. Even when US workers are on vacation. they are often expected to be in communication with their bosses by email and mobile phone. Most US businesses do not encourage their employees(雇员) to take all the

45、vacation days they are allowed to. In fact. most US companies discourage it.Other countries, especially countries in Europe, have much more vacation time. In Germany many people have six weeks of paid vacation. Maybe this is why Europeans and other travellers take a vacation in far-off foreign place

46、s. Most American families like to stay closer to their homes, hardly leaving the country.Most companies in countries outside the USA have to give paid time off to their employees. However, in the USA there is no law requiring employers to give workers paid vacation. In fact the USA is the only devel
