阅读短文,完成以下小题。

    More than 2,000 years ago, a favorite wife of Emperor (皇帝)Wu of the Han Dynasty died of illness. The emperor missed her so much that he didn't want to do anything. One day, a minister (大臣)saw children playing with dolls. The shadows on the floor were interesting. The smart minister had an idea. He made a puppet of the favorite wife and painted it. As night fell, he asked the emperor to watch a puppet show behind a curtain. The emperor was very happy and became interested in it. In this way, puppet shows began.

    Shadow puppets were first made of paper, later from the hides of donkeys (驴皮). That's why their Chinese name is pi ying. Shadow puppet plays were very popular during the Tang and Song Dynasties in many parts of China.

①Hobbies are great ways to spend your time. Some hobbies can even change the way you see the world. Let's take painting as an example.

②When you're painting, you should pay attention to the colour. Think for a moment about what colour clouds are. Did you think white? Take a closer look at them next time. Clouds are mostly white, but the colours also include black, grey, yellow, pink and even blue. It depends on so many factors(因素), like what time of day you are looking at them, the kind of clouds or the angle (角度) you're looking at them. At sunset, you'll see many colours in clouds but you won't see at mid-afternoon.

③Painting is also a great way to notice shapes(形状). One of the easiest ways to paint faces or objects is to break them down into their relative shapes and combine them together. Everything in the world can be broken down into things like circles, squares and triangles. It's like putting pieces of a puzzle together as you're creating your painting.

④If you take up painting, you'll see more colours and shapes in the world. You'll notice small influences(影响) of colours in the evening and will be able to break anything down into their relative shapes. So everything is more beautiful than ever. In this way, hobbies introduce us to a new world.

In a small town,there was a young boy named Ted. He was always curious about how things worked,and loved to take things apart(把……拆开)1 back together. Usually he succeeded,but sometimes he2 . Still,he enjoyed what he did. One day,while he3 his mother cook,he realized how hard it was to stir(搅拌) the sauce. He thought that there must be 4 way to do this,and he decided to think of a better way. 

Ted took out his tools and began to work. After a busy afternoon,he created a new invention. He took apart a broken wood mixer(搅拌器) and then connected a motor (电动机),it was able to stir things by itself 5 it got power from the motor. It was so convenient that anyone 6 stir the sauce easily and quickly. 

The next day,Ted showed his 7 to his mother. She was 8 and allowed him to spend more time improving it. He tried,failed and then tried again. Finally,he added some new ideas to make it even9 ,like a timer,so that the user could leave the tool on the table and not have to10 the sauce burning. 

11 mum's support,Ted decided to bring it to school and introduce it to his eight 12 schoolmates. Suddenly,Ted's invention became a big hit in his school. They used it 13 drinks or stir any kind of sauce at lunch,and it was also easy to clean and store. In School Science Festival,Ted even received 14 prize from the school principal for his creativity and intelligence. 

Perhaps not everyone can be an inventor. However,it is always meaningful to15 what you are really interested in and keep going like Ted.
