If kids know theyre working for a reward and can focus on a relativelychallenging task, they show the most creativity, says Robert Eisenberger ofthe University of Delaware in Neward. But its easy to kill

18、creativity bygiving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation forrewards.

For a time she lived in Jackson,Mississippi, with her lawyer husband and small daughter. About LangstonHughes, American poet, her first book for children,

36、she says, After myfirst meeting with Langston Hughes I vowed I would write a book about himfor children someday. Why? Because I, at twenty-two, knew next to nothing ofhis work, and he didnt scold me; he just gave me a stack of his books. Andhe was kind to me; I will always be grateful that in his ab

37、solute warmth andgenerosity he fulfilled my deepest dream of what a poet should be. To me he is not dead at all. Hardly a day goes by that I dont think ofhim or speak of him.
