Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we  36   not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of  37   . Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together.  38  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  39   company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new  40  .
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it  41   a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not  42   that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.  43   , schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators  44  creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cannot recognize ways to use it in new  45  . They may know the rules correctly, but they are  46   to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children  47  . From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the  48   decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is ___49___the most important character of creative people is a very strong ___50    to find a way out of trouble.

When I was learning calligraphy my teacher told me a story．
A calligrapher taught handwriting．One or his students who often practised handwritihg with old sheets of newspaper complained that he made very little progress though he had learned it with the calligrapher for a long time．His teacher said to him,“Try to use the best paper．Maybe you’ll write better．”
The student did as he was told．It really worked．He made headway not long afterwards and felt curious．He asked his teacher about the reason．The calligrapher answered,“When you used old newspaper to practise handwriting ,you would think you were writing a draft．It didn’t matter if you wrote badly as old newspaper was plenty in supply．In that case you wouldn’t pay much attention to it．Now you use the best paper and you ’ll treasure it．Each time you write you feel strongly about the rarity of chances and you’ll devote to it with all your heart and soul ; you’ll do the handwritihg much more attentively than practising．Of course you’ve made rapid progress．”
Indeed , we spend our ordihary days just as they are worthless “ old newspaper ”．We don’t care if we scrawl and waste it ,thinking that it will come endlessly---the “ old newspaper ” is inexhaustible．In such a mood we may each day pass by opportunities but fail to catch any of them．
Life is not a military exercise but an actual war in which real weapons are used ．In everyday life there’s no chance for us to draft．That’s because what we call“draft” actually is the answer sheet we write that cannot be changed．
Every day of our life is something new．Let us take every day as a sheet of the best paper．
46．The calligrapher in the story told the student to write on the best paper because he thought     ．
A．the student would practise more carefully on the best paper
B．it was comfortable to write on the best paper
C．the student had enough money to buy the best paper
D．the student could write more on the best paper
47．The student didn’t make much progress at first because     ．
A．he regarded his writihg on old newspaper just as a draft
B．he was too poor to buy better paper to write on
C．he didn’t follow his teacher’s advice
D．he was not used to the calligrapher’s teaching manner
48．We learn from the passage that     ．
A．the student finally gave up
B．the student made rapid progress by practising more carefully
C．the caligrapher was strict with his students
D．old newspaper is not useful
49．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．What teachers say is always true．
B．Success calls for attentiveness．
C．Handwriting is easy to practise．
D．New things are always better than old ones
50．The writer want to tell us that     ．

Maurice Sendak’s children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963, has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.
The book’s main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper. Before long, Max’s room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to a land where monsters live. Max isn’t scared, though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.
Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.
The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills and challenge them.
Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty but my mommy still loves me’,” Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” Davis said. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the thing under the bed that’s going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”
Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children. “You don’t want bad dreams over a book that’s extremely wonderful,” Davis said.
46. Teachers and professors like the book Where the Wild Things Are because it helps children ________.
A. learn to draw their own pictures
B. understand their own fear
C. develop more quickly
D. become more imaginative
47. What is the intention of using the larger words in the book?
A. To add to the difficulty while children are reading.
B. To help challenge the children’s reading skills.
C. To cause the children some confusion.
D. To help children get involved in the story.
48. Which of the following is TRUE about the book?
A. The character Max is brave enough in the story.
B. Max was sent to the forest as punishment.
C. It is suitable for people of all ages.
D. It is the most popular children’s book ever published.
49. What does Davis think of the movie?
A. She thinks children of all ages will love it.
B. She encourages children to see it to fight against their fear.
C. She worries that it might be too frightening for some children.
D. She believes it will be a better choice for children than the book.
50. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To suggest ways to improve children’s reading.
B. To comment on a famous children’s book.
C. To encourage children to read scary stories.
D. To introduce a movie based on a children’s book.

  What will you be doing when you are 26 years old? Studying at university or working for a living? Take a look at what Albert Einstein was doing at the age of 26.
100 years ago, Einstein was working in Switzerland. His hobby was physics. Without much money or help, he wrote five papers(論文) for a physics magazine. Three of these greatly changed the study of physics and our understanding of space, time, light and matter(物質(zhì)). His most famous work is on the Theory of Relativity(相對論). Einstein was given the Nobel Prize for his discoveries. Although he also did many other things later, the years 1905 has been called Einstein’s “Year of Wonders”. It has been 100 years since then. Because of this, the UN has named 05 the World Year of Physics.
Today, over fifty years after Einstein’s death, a question is asked,  “ Will there ever be another Einstein?” It may take a long time. After all, Einstein was born more than 200 years after Sir Isaac Newton, another great scientist. Besides, physics is a different field now, and education is different, too. Even if you can’t be the next great scientist, it is still helpful to remember some of the things that made Einstein great. He thought independently(獨(dú)立地) and read widely. He left with us a formula(公式) for life: If A is a success in life, then A="X+Y+Z." X is work, Y is play, and Z is keeping your mouth shut.
小題1:The year 1905 is known as Einstein’s “Year of Wonders” because           .
A．Einstein was working in Switzerland in 1905B．Einstein was 26 years old in 1905
C．Einstein made some very important discoveries in 1905D．Einstein studied physics in 1905
小題2:Why hasn’t there been another scientist as great as Einstein?
A．Because the study of physics is not enough.
B．Because it is hard to make important discoveries as Einstein did.
C．Because people don’t work hard any more.
D．Because physics is getting more and more difficult.
小題3:The UN has named 05 the World Year of Physics because           .
A．Einstein is 100 years old this year
B．Einstein has been dead for more than 50 years
C．there have been other great discoveries after Einstein’s death
D．it is the 100th year since Einstein’s “Year of Wonders”
小題4: What does Einstein’s formula for life mean?
A．Success means years of hard work.
B．Success means all study and no play.
C．Success means working hard, relaxing and not talking too much.
D．Success is a secret that nobody knows.

Jeans are trousers made of a kind of clothe called denim. For many people, blue jeans represent American culture.
The history of blue jeans usually begins with a man named Levi Strauss. Although he did not invent the jeans, he is considered the first person to produce and sell this kind of clothing in large amounts.
Levi Strauss was born in Bavaria, Germany. In 1847, he and his family moved to the US. He opened a store, first in New York, and then in San Francisco, California. Among the products he sold were jeans. These trousers were especially useful for miners in California who needed clothing made of a strong material.
Levi Strauss partnered with a clothing maker named Jacob Davis, who had invented a process for making rivets(鉚釘) for jeans. These metal things helped strengthen the blue jean cloth to make the trousers stronger. In 1873, Strauss and Davis received a patent to officially own this invention. They began producing “ copper-riveted waist overalls(工裝褲)”. In 1928 the Levi Strauss company used the word “Levi’s” as the trademark for their products.
The 19th-century workers would probably be surprised to know that their trousers would one day become a fashion object. Today, jeans are worn by people of all ages, incomes and lifestyles. Jeans come in many colors other than blue and in many styles and at many prices.
A national museum in Washington, D.C. has one of the oldest known pairs of Levi’s jeans in its collection. Jeans have come to express different ideas about American culture based on the people who wear them. These include the heroes of the Wild West and famous Hollywood actors like James Dean and Marlon Brando in the 1950s. Writer James Sullivan published a book called Jean: A Cultural History of an American Icon. In the book, he says jeans serve as a sign for two American values, creativity and rebellion (叛逆).
小題1:This passage is mainly about _______.
A．the life story of Levi StraussB．jeans and American culture
C．why jeans are popular.D．the history of jeans
小題2:We know from the passage that Levi Strauss _________.
A．was the first person who wore jeans.B．moved to the US from Germany alone.
C．not only sold jeans at first in his storeD．helped Jacob Davis invent a kind of rivet
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE about jeans?
A．Strauss and Davis owned the invention of using rivets on jeans.
B．In California, Levi’s was the only jeans seller in 1928.
C．Jeans were called copper-riveted waist overalls at first.
D．Jeans were originally made for heroes of the Wild West.
小題4:According to the last but one paragraph,jeans should be best described as _________.
A．strongB．culturalC． popularD．unique

My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn’t at that time.
Last Friday, after doing all family   31    in town, I wanted a rest   32    catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the    33   coffee shop—that cheap, self–service place with long    34    to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to   35    a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next   36    . It was one of those wild-looking youngsters,   37    dark glasses and worn clothes, and    38   colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did    39    me was that he had started to eat my chocolate.
Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid    40    —and really I was rather   41   
about him, I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me   42    , then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could   43     believe it. Still I didn’t dare to   44   an argument. When he took a    45    piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece”. And I got it.
The boy    46    me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,” This   47    is crazy.” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing（令人難堪的）enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to   48   . My face went red—as red as his hair—when I    49    I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just    50    my newspaper.
