The Case for Creativity-Encouraging Children to Think
Creativity is the key to a brighter future,say education and business experts.Here is how schools and parents can encourage this vital skill in children.
(81)B
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925,we might not have a product that we now think of as practically essential:masking tape.Drew worked for the company,known as 3M.At work he developed a sticky-side substance strong enough to hold things together.But his boss told him not to pursue the idea.Finally,using his own time,Drew perfected the tape,which now is used everywhere by many people.And his former company learned from its mistake:Now 3M encourages people to spend 15percent of their work time just thinking and developing new ideas.Experts say if we teach our children to think creatively,they will be better able to function in tomorrow's society.
(82)E
Creativity is not a natural ability,nor is it necessarily a characteristic of high intelligence.Just because a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively.Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce original ideas that are good for something.
(83)C
Unfortunately,schools have not tended to promote creativity.With strong emphasis on test scores and the development of reading,writing and mathematical skills,many educators sacrifice creativity for correct answers.The result is that children can give back information but can't recognize ways to apply it to new situations.They may know their multiplication tables,for example,but they are unable to apply them to story problems.
(84)F
In some schools,however,educators are recognizing the problem and are trying their best to encourage creativity in their students.Some teachers are combining the basics with activities where the students must use their imagination.For example,instead of simply asking WHEN Columbus discovered the New World,teachers might ask students to think about what would have happened if his trip had taken him to New York first instead of to the Caribbean area.With that question,students would have to use what they know about Columbus,what they know about New York,and what they know about the Caribbean.Teachers feel that even if the answers seem silly,it's OK,that sometimes being silly is an essential step toward creativity.
(85)D
From the earliest age,children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their consequences.Even if it's choosing between two food items 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 money but not automatically help them too much if they make the wrong decision.This may be confusing for the child,but that is all right.This is because one of the most important traits of creative people is a very strong motivation to make order out of confusion.

15.Guide for Teenagers
The teenage years can be tough,and it's normal to feel sad every now and then.But if these feelings don't go away or become so intense that you can't handle them,you may be suffering from depression.
(36)G.
Try not to isolate yourself
When you're depressed,you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything.Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult,but isolating yourself only makes depression worse.(37)D.Spend time with friends,especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy
Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your moods.Ever heard of"Runners High"?Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression,so get involved in sports,ride your bike,or take a dance class.Any activity helps!(38)B.As for food,make sure you're feeding your mind with plenty of fruits,vegetables,and whole grains.
Avoid alcohol and drugs
You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a"mood boost",even if just for a short time.However,substance abuse can not only make depression worse,but can cause you to become more depressed.(39)E.You will need special treatment for your substance abuse problem.
(40)A
Stress and worry can lead to depression.Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming.In addition,if you have a health concern you feel you can't talk to your parents  about,see a doctor.A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment.If you're dealing with relationships,friendships,or family problems,talk to an adult you trust.
A.Ask for help if you are stressed 
B.Even a short walk can be beneficial
C.Turn to your parents for help
D.As you get out into the world,you may find yourself feeling better
E.In short,drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse-not better-in the long run
F.The more exercise you do,the healthier you will be
G.Help is available and you have more power than you think.
17.Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful,but as we age,we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit and that can be a very annoying thing.(36)F Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1.(37)A.
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症),according to a recent study.(38)E.Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better.In other words,keep your brain looking forward.
2.Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels.In fact,exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.(39)G
3.Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online,join a drawing club,or learn to play cards.A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind.But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.(40)Cor go dancing with your friends.

A.Focus on the future.
B.This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C.It should be something like learning gardening.
D.So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.
E.But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.
F.Luckily,research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G.In other words,when you take care of your body,you take care of your brain.
14.A61.Susan is a big eater.She usually has a lot at every meal.So she wonders whether she could only eat less for the first meal of a day to lose weight.
C62.Tina is a fat girl who doesn't like exercise much.She just wants to lose weight by eating less but not doing exercise.
E63.Maggie is a busy office lady.She usually has to work overtime every day.So she could only have her dinner late at night.She wants to be slimmer so that she could be much more attractive.
D64.Judy is a fashionable designer.She hopes to have a slim shape as models.She usually doesn't have any regular meal,but has some snacks when she is hungry.

A.If you eat less for breakfast,you have a lower chance of losing weight.Breakfast is important.It gives the body sufficient energy to sustain itself through the morning,and it also stimulates metabolic (新陈代谢) activity in the body.Metabolism is what consumes fat and what makes us slimmer.So,don't forget to eat something for the breakfast.
B.What makes people fat is not the number of calories for one meal,but the total accumulated over time.So don't expect your weight to drop when you eat less for just one meal.This needs to be sustained over a period of time.After some time,you will notice a change.
C.Many people stop doing exercise when they eat less.When you do this,your body will burn less fat.So even if people take in less calories,they get rid of less too.The balance is then unchanged.
D.People gain fat not from the food they eat,but from the number of calories in the food.For example,a bunch of vegetables has just one tenth the calories contained in a small bit of chocolate cake.So make sure you have adequate regular meals,but firmly say no to various snacks,milk tea or even instant noodles.
E.If you ate your last meal right before going to bed,the calories accumulated from this meal could be twice the amount accumulated from a same meal if you ate it another time during the day.
1.A good book can be satisfying.If reading is a habit you'd like to get into,there are some ways to develop it.
Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book.If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it,it will seem like a task.(36)F
Set time.You should have some time during every day when you'll read for at least 5to 10minutes.(37)GFor example,make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.
Always carry a book.(38)AWhen I leave the house,I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand.The book stays with me in the car,and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go.
(39)DFind a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair.Don't lie down unless you're going to sleep.There shouldn't be a television or a computer near the chair,and no music or no noisy family members/roommates.If you don't have a place like this,create one.
Reduce television/the Internet.If you really want to read more,try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet.(40)EBut remember:every minute you reduce of the Internet/TV,you could use for reading.This could create hours of book reading time.

A.Wherever you go,take a book with you.
B.Go to bookstores.
C.Have some good tea or coffee while you read.
D.Find a quiet place.
E.This may be difficult for some people.
F.If this happens,give up the book and find another one that you'll really love.
G.It means you will read no matter how busy you are.
11.The eyes are the windows of the soul (心灵).Having a pair of bright,clear eyes is very important,so we should protect our eyes throughout our lives.
(36)A Don't read while lying down or walking.Relax after every hour of reading.
Keep a distance from the TV set when you watch TV and give your eyes a rest every 30minutes.
Don't stare at (盯着看) the sun or try to read in the darkness.(37)E This can damage your eyes easily.
Get your eyes checked often.Not many people have this habit,but it is necessary.If you feel that there is something wrong with your eyes,get them checked quickly.(38)F.
(39)B.You can close your eyes for a few seconds or look into the distance for one or two minutes.A small break will relax your eyes and help to stop you from getting eye problems.
Be careful when you choose your glasses.(40)D.Make sure your glasses are right for you.If they don't feel right,get your glasses changed.
A.Develop good reading habits.
B.Rest your eyes whenever you can.
C.Make sure you get enough sleep every night.
D.Glasses that aren't suitable for you could bring you trouble.
E.Even if you're wearing sunglasses,never look directly at the sun.
F.Eye problem can be found and treated early with regular checks.
G.Drink green tea every day as a way to protect your eyes against eye problems.
18.There are some very good things about open education.This way of reaching allows the students to grow as people,and to develop their own interests in many subjects.Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education,as they are responsible for what they do in life.Some students do bad in traditional classrooms.The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning.(71)DThey will not have to worry about grades or rules.For students who worry about these things a lot,it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.(72)C
 For some students,there are too few rules.These students will do little in school.They will not make good use of open education,which is very different from traditional education.These students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices.(73)GThey worry about the rules even when there are no rules.Even a few rules will help this kind of students.The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it.(74)ATeachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their school.
You now know what open education is,whose good points and bad points have been explained.You may have your own opinion about open education.I think that open education is a good idea,but only in theory.(75)FI believe that most students,but of course not all students,want some structure in their classes.They want and need to have rules.In some cases,they must be made to study some subjects.Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting.They would not study those subjects if they did not have to.

A.Many teachers do not believe in open education.
B.Open education is better than traditional education.
C.But many students will not do well in an open classroom.
D.Some students will be happier in an open education school.
E.The teachers'feeling and attitudes are important to the students.
F.In fact,it may not work very well in a real class or school.
G.For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom.
15.Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences,(36)B.That is a risk.But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately,we've all been victims of betrayal.Whether we've been suffer from,lied to,misled,or cheated on,there are different levels of losing trust.Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore,(37)E.It's understandable,but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again,we have some steps you can take to get you there.
l(38)Ahaving confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
l(39)CIf you've been betrayed,you are the victim of your circumstance.But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a"victim mentality".At some point in all of our lives,we'll have our trust tested or violated.
l  You didn't lose"everything".Once trust is lost,what is left?Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle,look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.(40)Ginstead,it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

A.Learn to really trust yourself.
B.It is putting confidence in someone.
C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D.Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E.They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.
F.This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G.Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.
16.Question:When I feel mad,what do I need to do?(16)F
Answer:Anger has gotten a bad name.But if you can deal with it properly,it can actually do much good to you.Just take the following steps.
Step 1:Don't suppress(压制)it.
Studies have linked keeping anger suppressed with the development of health problems.(17)BOne study found that angry couples who always keep silent instead of having fights nearly double their chances of early death.
Step 2:(18)A
If it's social unfairness that has your blood boiling,release that anger into action.For example,you can donate your time to a charity.Helping others always leads to happiness.
Step 3:React strategically(战略性地).
Shouting at someone isn't likely to improve the situation.(19)CInstead,take time to make a careful decision,and then speak your mind calmly.Force yourself to react more slowly and quietly than usual because angry people always speak louder and faster.
Step 4:(20)E
Take your anger and go for a run or hit the gym; you'll blow off steam and improve your health.Now that's how you get rid of getting mad.

A.Put your anger into action.
B.This is especially true in marriage.
C.It will probably make things worse.
D.Will anger keep your blood boiling?
E.Work off your anger by working out.
F.How can I get rid of getting mad?
G.Do as follows and you'll control your anger.
