Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 16 up his company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree, 17 to return to the homeland, starting a company.Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 18 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the customs check. The watch on his wrist was also needed to be 19 down for inspection (检查). Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax (税), and he worried about paying 20 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a fake (假货). When he was 21 of his “smarts”, the officers hit the watch, which cost nearly ￥100,000 into pieces at hearing Glens words. Glen was 22 . 23 he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined strictly. For many times of entry-exit (出入境) 24 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and 25 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if he was 26 out reusing and carrying fake goods, he would be 27 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family and his workers.

Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have an important product: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But 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 old company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking and developing new ideas.Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence (智慧). 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 new ideas that are good for something.Unluckily, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cant recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if its choosing between two kinds of food 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 help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire (欲望) to find a way out of trouble.34. What did the company where Dick Drew work learn from its mistake?A. They encouraged people to work a longer time.B. They discouraged (阻碍) people to think freely.C. They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.D.They encouraged people to spend some of their work time thinking and improving new ideas.35. Why dont schools try to encourage creativity?A. They dont understand the importance of education.B. They dont want their students to make mistakes.C. They pay too much attention to examination marks and language skills.D. They think it more important to remember some information.36. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?A. Try to help them as much as possibleB. Take no notice of whatever they doC. Help them if their decision is wrong, but not too muchD. Leave them as they are37. The best title for the passage can be _.A. The importance of creativityB.What is creativity?C. The history of creativityD. How can we develop creativity?CAccording to Spanish(西班牙的) business newspaper, Spain is planning to build the largest traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Europe.Its an important practice agreement between China and Spain.Barcelona will provide land for its construction and the new hospital is expected to cost 80 million euros ($88.6 million).
