However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also an important quality for coding.Software developers in the American state of California have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds as they learn to code. Children can play the game on iPads. There are many activities they can do by the game.Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children, nine-year-old Dylan and his 11-year-old sister Meghan, who play the game. According to her, these activities give them important skills for the future. “Its an analytical skill that the kids are going to need to have as they grow up today” said Dodge.But the developers of Osmo Coding Jam believe writing code should be more than just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that were teaching kids how to be creative with code and thats a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”Hu also sees a growing number of parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge, the mother of Dylan and Meghan, said, “I think youre going to have to understand at some point the idea of coding will work well in the future.”Hu also explained that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works or just thinking that its like a magical machine. He said by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isnt as smart as they think it is.9.Osmo Coding Jam is designed for_.A. training kids logical thinkingB. helping kids learn to code fastC. helping children learn math wellD. helping kids become more creative10.What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?A.

Many parents doubt whether coding will help children work well in the future.C. Creativity is not so important as logical thinking for coding.D.

My name is Rose. Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now Im getting one!” she told me.After class we shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized（迷住）listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.At the end of the semester（学期）we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. Ill never forget what she taught us.“There is only one secret to staying young. Youve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking round who are dead and dont even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously （勇敢地）singingThe Rose.

No matter how much we earn, or how nice our clothing or cars or toys are, none of it will make us happier.16and the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury(奢侈) items before we realize this.So what will bring us happiness?17These three things have been proven by surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have, what their lives are like, and how happy they are.18We have a human need to be close to other human beings. Having good, supportive friendship, a strong marriage or close and loving relationship with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy. So take time to stay with your loved ones, to tell them what they mean to you, to listen to them.Positive thinking can lead to happiness too. In fact, optimism and self-confidence are some of the indicators(迹象)of people who lead happy lives. So remember to get into the habit of squashing(排除)all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones.19The state we enter when we completely focused on the work or task before us will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness. People find greatest enjoyment not when they are doing mindless work, but when they are absorbed in a mindful challenge.20Turn off the TV, get outside and do something that truly attract you.Youve been given the Three Secrets to Happiness.
