I first went to Harrow in the summer term.  The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen.  It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of  this with boys of my own size or less.

One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool.  He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him  a fair game.  Coming secretly behind ,I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地劃)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. “Do you know what you have done?”they said,“It’s Amery;  he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym ,he has got his football honor.”

I was frightened and felt ashamed.  How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small. ”He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,“My father, who is a great man, is also small. ”At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.

Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir（回憶錄）of Ralph W. Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education.

Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.

Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.

Tyler became well-known nationality in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robert Hutchins.

Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent（獨(dú)立的）spirit in their work.

Although Tyler officially retired in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad.

When I was in high school, I had a recurring(反復(fù)的) dream of my teeth falling out. I dreamt about my teeth just about every night for at least three weeks. Sometimes they would fall out one at a time, sometimes all at once. I became terrified that my dreams meant I would actually lose my teeth. Nine years later and about a million trips to the dreams, I still have a full set of teeth, but I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well．

Miller says losing teeth indicates burdens that crush your pride. If your teeth are knocked out, you’ll have sudden misfortune． Other explanations for dreams about lost teeth are that the dreamer is feeling powerless in life and may be in a transitional（過度的） period from one situation of life to another. Some experts believe that dreams of losing teeth today show we’re just as insecure and uncertain as we were in childhood．

When I dreamt about my teeth back in high school, I was trying to choose a college— a stressful decision． The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate．

A little of stress in our everyday lives is normal. But sometimes it becomes such a regular occurrence in our lives that it influences our dreams and causes us to lose valuable sleep.

According to the dictionary definition of“create”, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means“to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.

We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(質(zhì)地), as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.

A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重組) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.

A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.

These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.

A. a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things

B. a new thing is only a tale

C. we can seldom create new things     

D. we can hardly see really new things in the world

66. What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?

A. It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.

B. To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.

C. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.

D. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
