   Mystery, the word excites our curiosity. Mystery novels sell thousands of copies each year and many readers count Agatha Christie among their favorite authors.

  Christie was born in September of 1890 in England. When she was growing up，her mother often told her stories. Christie loved these stories that took her into a world of fantasy. Christie's mother also encouraged her to write from a young age.

  At 16, Christie went to a school in Paris to study piano and singing. She learned to play the piano very well. But she never made music a career because of stage fright(怯场) .At 22，she fell in love with Archie Christie. They got married in 1914 at the beginning of World War I.

  During the war,Christie wrote her first detective story;The Mysterious Affair at Styles. She chose the crime，and then invented a detective named Hercule Poirot to solve it. She sent the book to a publisher, but it was rejected.

  After the war ended, Christie sent her book to more publishers and finally in 1920，one published it. She earned just $25 for it. Over the next few years，Christie wrote more books and short stories，gaining experience as a writer. In spite of her literary success，life was not go?ing well at home. In 1928 ，Archie and Agatha got a divorce. A short time later, while traveling in Baghdad, she met Max Mallowan, a young archaeologist. After getting married in 1930, they began to spend time each year in the Middle East,which provided settings for some of Christie's novels. She often wrote about what she saw and experienced.

  Christie continued writing her entire life. When she died in January 1976, readers around the world mourned her death. But her tales of mystery continue to be loved by new generations of readers. Her books have sold an estimated 2 billion copies！After all,who can resist a good mystery?

  An important part of children's cognitive(认知) development is created by having them use their imaginations. Before TVs and computers were invented,children had to use their imagina?tions rather than rely on those types of stimulus(剌激) .

  Studies show that children who have imaginary friends are more likely to be more creative and better able to solve problems. Instead of criticizing them for it,encourage it.

  As it turns out,the things that you are able to do for free with your children are also some of the best for them like engaging them in creativity. A box of crayons, some paper,and a little coaching from you will go a long way. Don't judge so quickly. Just like creativity in adults, having a lot of unfiltered ideas is better than holding back on your freedom of expression. Give a kid some art supplies and you will be amazed at what they will come up with. Common house?hold items and things pulled out of the closet can turn into anything your child can dream up in their imagination.

  Fostering(培养) imagination is important because children need to learn how to solve their own problems instead of having their mom or dad always solve them for them. They need to strengthen those problem-solving skills,which will serve them well their whole lives. By letting children solve their own problems, they are less likely to have to depend on others when they grow up. They will be able to solve their own problems. They are less likely to become passive and let others dictate to them. They are better able to think through different scenarios(场景) and outcomes.

  To prepare for life in the real world, children should practice in the imaginary one to better help them cope. Putting them into " what if" situations gives them the tools they will need when

they go into the real world and are faced with real world problems to solve.
