Creativity (创造力) helps people a lot in many ways. Here is how schools and parents can help their children 1 their creativity.
Drew worked for a company in 1925. At work he invented a kind of material 2 enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Drew didn't stop and finally, using his own time, made a kind of tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his company learnt from its 3.
Now the company asks its workers to 4 15 per cent of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with. A person with high intelligence does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of 5 your intelligence to think of new ideas that are good for something.
We know that many schools have tried to develop students' creativity, but some teachers only want to develop students reading, writing and Maths skills, and have to 6 creativity for correct answers. Children from such schools can give correct 7, but they are unable to use them to work out problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should learn to make decisions and understand their 8. Even though it's choosing between two kinds of food for lunch, decision-making helps 9 skills. As children grow older, 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 wrong decision. The child may have a 10 time, but that is all right.
Here are some superheroes in the fight against COVID-19 (新冠肺炎). Let's come close to them and remember them.

Zhong Nanshan (1936.10—) He is one of the famous medical scientistsin the 21stcentury. Dr. Zhong Nanshan was the first to tell the public that the virus could be transmitted from person to person. He is agood doctor in the countrymen's eyes and respected by all Chinese people. |

Li Lanjuan (1947.09—) When COVID-19 broke out, she suggested that Wuhan should be locked down immediately to prevent the spread of the disease. She headed for Wuhan and took an active part in the battle. Now, she still receives patients every day. |
 |
Wang Yong (1985.12—) As a delivery (快递) driver, he volunteered to support the medical staff in Wuhan during the epidemic (疫情). He tried his best to keep life going for the doctors and nurses. Time magazine has put on its cover, presenting the courage and hard work of common people. |

Li Wenliang (1985.10—2020.02) He is the first doctor to warn people how dangerous the virus could be at the end of last December, so people call him the "whistle-blower (吹哨人). Because of COVID-19, he lost his life on February 7 th, 2020. People across the country were sad to hear about his death. |
Many people in the world live in big cities, which are often dirty and difficult places to live in. So, some cities will get bigger. They will also get higher, and lower, because people will begin to live under the ground as well as in tall buildings. Scientists also say that men can begin to live in cities under the sea, when there is not enough space on the land. Of course, these new cities will be very expensive, and difficult to build, but they are not impossible. Already, some countries are building places to live under the ground so their people can go there if there is a new war. There are underground cities in Switzerland and China, built by the government to help some of the people live after a great war.
But will people change if they live under the ground for a long time？For example some fish go blind if they live in the dark for a long time. People will not go blind, because there will be light underground, but they may change in some way. Scientists say that people who live in cities today are losing their senses of smell, touch and taste. They can smell the dirty air, they can't taste the chemicals in their food. These senses are not as strong as before, when people lived in the country and grew their own food. The city has changed that. What will the underground city change in everyone?
We know that there is air all around the world. And we could not breathe without air. Airplanes could not fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes can not fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find that there is no air.
What is the sky? Nothing. Where is it? It is all around the world. The sky is space. In this space there is nothing except the sun, the moon and all the stars.
The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. An airplane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches to an altitude of only 240 kilometers. Then there is no air. But there is something that can fly even when there is no air. It is a rocket.
How does a rocket fly? If you want to know, get a balloon and blow it up, until it is quite big. Do not tie up the neck of the balloon. Let go! The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly. The air inside the balloon tries to get out. It reaches out through the neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air. It does not need wings like airplane.

New research suggests that climate change helped dogs develop from animals looking like cats to the way they are today. Scientists from Brown University in the USA believe that 40 million years ago, dogs were smaller and they looked like cats. They hid, ran after and killed other animals. As climate changed in the world, the physique (体型) and eatinghabits of dogs also changed. Thick forests that once covered North America started to become less thick as the earth became cooler.
The appearance of grassland made dogs have fewer places to hide to hunt for food. To get used to the environment, they changed their ways of hunting and slowly grew longer legs. The scientists studied how dogs have changed themselves by looking at the elbows (肘部) and teeth of 32 different species that lived from 2 million to 40 million years ago. The scientists said that the dogs' Bows greatly changed. Dogs from 40 million years ago had elbows that were more similar to those of cats. The function of the elbows was to allow the front paws (爪子)to catch what they could get and hold on to it. The elbows changed to allow dogs to become good runners and then they were able to run after other animals over long distances. Teeth in dogs also changed to be more useful. They became much stronger to be able to hold on to what they get.
① Dogs grew longer legs.
② Climate changed.
③ Dogs changed ways of hunting.
④ Forests became less thick.
