Creativity(創(chuàng)造力) 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.

　 Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily an indicator(標(biāo)志) of high intelligence(智力). Just because a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using his resources to produce new ideas that are good for something.

　 It is important to let children choose. From an early age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it's choosing food for lunch, making decision helps thinking skills. As children grow older, 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 wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important characteristic of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.

Creativity is something ______.

A. that people are born with

B. that depends on intelligence

C. that is a way of using what one has learnt to work out new problems

D. that is not important

What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?

A. Try to help them as much as possible.

B. Take no notice of whatever they do.

C. Help them if their decision is wrong, but not too much.

D. Leave them as they are.

What is the proper title of the passage?

  A. The Problems in Education     B. Let Children Choose

  C. Children Need Creativity       D. A Brighter Future

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

● Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person’s name, repeat it._1_ You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

● Ask the other person to recite and repeat. _2_ After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

● _3_ Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy （同情） if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

● Use associations （聯(lián)想）. _4_  For example, you could make a mental note: “ Vicki Cheng???????????????? — tall, black hair.” To reinforce (強(qiáng)迫) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

● Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate（全神貫注）on remembering just two or three names. _5_  Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

A. Admit you don’t know.

B. Recite and repeat names.

C. Free yourself from remembering everyone.

D. You can let other people help you remember their names.

E. If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may tell him the truth.

F. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips.
