I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. Because of his great achievements, he was thought to be more creative than the ordinary person. When he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (ask) why he was able to do this, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with his mother when he was about two years old. “I tried to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and it fell， spilling（溢出）the milk all over the floor — a sea of milk! I was frightened and I didn't know what to do!” he said.

His mother heard the noise and got into the kitchen. “I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (consider）how to explain all this to you, mom.” He said. Instead of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (punish) him, she said, “Robert, what a great mess(杂乱) you have made! I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (not see) such a huge sea of milk before! Well. since the milk has already been spilled, would you like to play in the milk for a while? We {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (clean) it up after that.” Indeed, he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up.” He used a sponge(海绵) and together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “You know, you {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（fail）in how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now. Let's go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you can find a way to carry it.” Then the little boy learned that if he grasped (抓紧) the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!

    Pablo and I were walking home from playing football. On the way, I told him that our school needed {#blank#}1{#/blank#}football team. At once, Pablo suggested, “Why not run for（竞选）class president so that you can set one up?”

    “Who would want {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (I)?” I asked, surprised at the idea.

    Pablo made a list of reasons: I was the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) student of all in sports and lessons; I was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(friend) to everyone. When I told him running for president would be much work, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (promise) that he would help me.

    I did run, and Pablo did help me. First, we made posters to hang in the hallway. Next, Pablo helped me {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(write) a speech about why I'd make a good class president.

    The big day came. I gave my speech in front of the whole grade, promising my {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (classmate) that if they chose me, I'd start a football team.

    As Pablo and I nervously waited {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the results, I was told that my speech was so successful {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I was the right person to be class president.

    Now we went {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (happy) to Coach Simpson and asked how I could start our new football team.

    When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks? If so, your teacher might have told you {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(stop). Many people think of doodling(涂鸦) as a distraction(精神涣散) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.

    One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.

    Other people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (suggest)other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (have)a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.

    Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (write)a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (believe)doodling is helpful because it incorporates(整合)many ways of learning. You lean in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn.

And when you doodle while you {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (listen)to a lecture, you use all four.

    You might think that being good at {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (draw)is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

    Hello, boys and girls. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} name is Helen White. This is my {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (schoolbag). It is brown. I like the color very much. Oh, what's this in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (England)? It is a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (dictionary).
