Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we 36 not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of 37 . Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. 38 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 39 company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new 40 .
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it 41 a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not 42 that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something. 43 , schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators 44 creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cannot recognize ways to use it in new 45 . They may know the rules correctly, but they are 46 to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children 47 . From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, 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 48 decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is ___49___the most important character of creative people is a very strong ___50 to find a way out of trouble.

You probably know what fast food is. It is cooked food that is ready almost as soon as you enter a public eating place. It does not cost much.
Most fast food restaurants are chain (連鎖) restaurants. That means each one is part of a huge company. Each restaurant in the chain has the same large, colorful sign that can be easy to recognize from far away. Each offers its own carefully limited choice of foods. Each kind of hamburger or piece of chicken tastes the same at every restaurant in the chain.
The fast food industry began with two brothers in the nineteen forties. Mac and Dick McDonald owned a small, but very successful restaurant. They sold only a few kinds of simple food, especially hamburgers. People stood outside the restaurant at a window. They told the workers inside what they wanted to eat. They received and paid for their food very quickly. The food came in containers that could be thrown away. The system was so successful that the McDonald brothers discovered they could sell a lot of food and lower their prices.
Ray Kroc sold restaurant supplies. He recognized the importance of the McDonald brothers' idea. Kroc paid the McDonald brothers for permission to open several restaurants similar to theirs. He opened the first McDonald's restaurant near Chicago in nineteen fifty-five. Soon, more McDonald's were opening all across the United States. Other people copied the idea and more fast food restaurants followed.
Fast food restaurants spread quickly in the United States because of franchising. Franchising means selling the legal right to operate a store in a company's chain to an independent business person. If the company approves, the business person may buy the store for a period of years. Each restaurant also gives the company about ten percent of the money it earns in sales. Today, over seventy percent of McDonald's restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent businessmen and women.
