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.

Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why   36  had such a big influence   37  a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now,   38   I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel   39 to express my own  40   on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very   41  experiences. There are still many things   42  me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better   43  yourself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life   44  . There are so many things around us that    45   our will. We can’t force life    46   our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we   47  it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves  48  the world. I think we should learn to accept   49  life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to  50  every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more   51  that they slip by and leave you feeling   52  . I realize that I’m not just living   53  myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or   54  .It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one   55  that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

Flying first class was a new experience for me．I had a sense of   21  to be flying in such luxury(奢侈)．
I noticed that the stewardess was working non-stop to ensure the   22  of the first class passengers．I thought about how much she must love her job as she smiled kindly at each person while   23  to their needs．
As the stewardess walked by our seats near the   24  of the flight, I looked at her and said, “Thank you and I hope you have a great night”．She stopped with a look of   25 , bent down, looked at me and said, “Excuse me？” I repeated my words and she smiled in a rather  26  way, almost as if I had asked her a question that she did not know how to answer．
Then she said,“I can   27  you work with the public,” she said．“Why do you think so?” I asked．She answered very quietly “Because you are the   28  passenger here to say‘thank you ’to me tonight．And I really appreciate your kindness．”
