Alice Lewis is from America. She is a creative (有创造力的) girl. She likes to invent—to think of new ideas for things that no one has made before, and then make them.

One day, Alice’s mother showed her an article which explained how difficult it was to get sick people through the countryside to the hospital in Africa. Alice wanted to help.

Alice knew that in North America, before there were cars, horses pulled heavy things on a travois (旧式雪橇) which was made of wood. Alice thought people in Africa could do the same thing. She added wheels to the travois for the African people. To make her travois light to pull, she used bamboo, a plant that grows in Africa, instead of wood.

You need to wear a belt (腰带) to pull Alice’s travois. That means you can free your hands to carry. Alice thought her travois was perfect for carrying food home from the market, as well as taking people to the hospital. After it was finished, she wrote instructions (说明书) for building one. So people in Africa could make it by themselves.

Alice doesn’t know if she wants to be an inventor when she grows up, because she also likes music and writing. But she thinks it’s important for children to learn about inventing at school.

One day, a father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. When they     51     , there were already many adults and their children playing in the park. When the son saw the sky filled with colorful kites in different shapes, he was excited and wanted to get one. His father agreed to buy one for him. So they went to a kite     52     and chose a beautiful one.

With the string（线）in hand, the son started     53     the kite. Soon, the kite was high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Dad, it seems that the string is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, it will be free and fly even higher. Can we cut it?” The father didn’t reply, but just cut the string off the reel（线轴）. Suddenly the kite began to go higher, which made the son much     54     .

However, to his surprise, the kite was coming down. They waited for quite some time. Slowly, it fell onto the grass. The son felt upset and     55     ,“I thought that after cutting the string, the kite would fly higher. Why did it fall     56     ?”

The father smiled and said, “The role of the string was not stopping the kite from flying higher, but helping it stay in the     57     , because the kite itself can’t fly up. By using the string you help the kite go up in the     58     direction. When you cut the string, it could not support the kite.”

In our life, we may sometimes feel like there are certain things that are holding us back and stopping us from growing. But in fact, these might be the things that support     59     the most. We can really grow up and     60     stronger by realizing the importance of these things.
