If you think i    1     is only for adults, well, you’re wrong — because kids can be just as innovative as adults are, even more sometimes.

Here are four ways to teach your kids to be more creative:

Function follows form.

This is the idea of working backward where you start with a solution first and then work back to the problem. An example of this is the Ruined Product Exercise where you have your kids take any product around the house. Then ask them to make one change to the product where they’re going to make it worse. So they’ve got to take this seemingly ruined product and figure out some way to make it     2     (benefit) to people.

Constraints (限制) are important.

Teach your kids to realize that constraints are a necessary condition for creativity to occur. For instance, ask them to come up with an idea for the car. Then p    3     to take them into the car and tell them that they have to come up with an invention that only applies to people sitting in the backseat. This way, the kids are forced into a smaller, more constrained environment where they’re more likely to come up with a more creative idea than their first one.

Division technique creates opportunities.

The division technique basically involves taking a component, cutting it, then rearranging it somehow. One very good example is time which can be divided and rearranged, not physically but mentally. At first, just divide a(n)     4     (随机的) thing out of their day, move it to a different part of the day, and see if there’s a benefit to it. The lesson here is to get them to realize that moving the schedule around creates opportunities they may not have thought of otherwise.

Getting patents (专利) is possible.

The idea of patents has always a    5     to kids. A patent is a l    6     protection in business or engineering. But kids think they’re difficult to get. So you should get your kids to see that it’s very possible to create something and have it patented. Search the Internet for inventions by kids and you’ll find lots of examples. And this could be something they will get very excited about.

When Mills Godwin High School’s 11th grader Laasya Konidala isn’t studying, you’ll usually find her baking in the kitchen or doing a puzzle with her mother. For her, family is everything. But recently, her family received terrible news.

This past year her grandmother was diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer. But she didn’t sit back and worry, she     1     (祈祷) for her grandmother and went to work.

“As someone who has a lot of natural curiosity and as a researcher, one of the first things I did was to d    2     into reading articles and papers as much as I can,” Konidala said.

Teaching herself to code (编码), she entered the MEDARVA Science Fair, presenting research that bridges the gap between predicting breast cancer sub-types with good classification models. And she won! It’s research that could help to     3     (发现) and treat breast cancer. As you can imagine, her grandmother is very proud.

“She knew I was into     4     (science) research, but she never expected me to do something directly related to her. She was at a loss for words,” she said.

Her mother, Rekha Rasineni is not. She tells you what a hard worker Laasya can be.

“Some days we tell her ‘You don’t need to be     5     (produce) and working all day. Take it easy.’ But she doesn’t like that. She likes to study and do puzzles and bake and maybe even save lives with her research.”

Any time you bring people together, you will have more than one opinion instantly on anything. Living in a community, I’ve heard arguments among groups of people over some of the silliest things. It’s human nature that we want others to agree with our point of view. How we     1     (解决) conflicts within a community is important to the long-term success of the community. I’d like to share three tips.

First, respect others. Be careful to debate the issue itself and not the person. You can make     2     (投诉) about what is wrong but you have to be polite to the person. And remember, as a community we have a single common identity.

Second, have     3     (自制力). Don’t let your emotions control your discussion. Avoid being overly dramatic to “win     4     (票数)”. It’s hard to keep this in mind when discussing something you’re deeply keen on, but you have to.

Lastly, work together to     5     (协商) a solution. Compromise is often the result of debates. Don’t expect to always win everyone over to your point of view.

A decade after America     1     (退出) from Vietnam, the seeds of the often heart-breaking history, A Piece of My Heart, were sown when writer and filmmaker Keith Walker met a woman who had been an emergency room nurse in Cu Chi and Da Nang. She and 25 others       2     (回想) the time they spent in Vietnam as part of the 15,000 American women who volunteered or served as nurses in the military. After working on too many mutilated (截肢的) young     3     (士兵), one nurse talked of wanting to ask her mother to “check around and see if she could find one whole eighteen-year-old”.

Many returned with post-traumatic stress disorder (创伤后精神紧张性障碍). They still felt     4     (惊恐) rising within them. “The one thing Vietnam did for me was that I felt like I could walk on water,” said a nurse.

Many parents have probably felt at one time or another that one of their child’s teachers is a “miracle worker”, a teacher who somehow gets results where other teachers have failed. Although the idea of a miracle worker has entered common parlance (用语), the expression     1     (was invented, had invented) by Mark Twain to describe one person in particular. That person was Anne Sullivan, the teacher of Helen Keller.

Anne Sullivan, who     2     (has been, had been) blind for much of the first part of her life, was first employed to teach blind and deaf Helen in 1887, at the age of 20. Educated at Perkins School for the Blind in Boston, Sullivan     3     (has recovered, had recovered) part of her eyesight by the time she traveled to Alabama to begin her job as Helen Keller’s governess.

Undoubtedly, Sullivan’s own partial blindness     4     (gave, has given) her an understanding of the little girl’s closed-off world. As the 1957 play The Miracle Worker so effectively described it, Sullivan’s breakthrough with Keller came soon after she    5     (spelled, has spelled) words out on Helen’s open palm to make her understand that things had words attached to them. Sullivan     6    (placed, has placed) one of Keller’s hands under running water and on the other, she spelled “w-a-t-e-r.” Soon, Keller could express herself far beyond the series of simple signs that    7     (have been, had been) her only means of communication before.

Sullivan suggested Keller’s family send her to Perkins School for the Blind, and from that point on, she had been Keller’s companion until her death in 1936. Helen Keller lived a long life as a successful and inspiring writer, lecturer, and activist. None of this would have been possible if Keller     8     (did not meet, had not met) Anne Sullivan, the woman we remember as the “miracle worker”.

There are some teachers we never forget. They may teach us in our favourite subject or help us gain a    1     to university. For many of us, good relationships with our teachers are why we want to get into teaching in the first place.

Research tells us that when students are in an environment where they feel supported and    2     (持续不断地) cared for, they are more likely to succeed. In fact, according to a study by Marzano Research Laboratory, good relationships between teachers and students are among the most commonly mentioned reasons related to     3     (effect) instruction.

If we are teachers one day, we should build an environment of mutual (相互的) respect and set the whole classroom up for success. Treat students the way we want to be treated, never    4     (主宰) the relationship. All relationships are built on mutual respect for one another and this same     5     (原则) applies in the classroom. Of course, as teachers, our patience will be tested    6     (偶尔) but take a second to breathe. Our students will understand us as we can now understand our teachers.

Most people know Emily Blunt as a well-known film and stage actress. However, between the ages of 7 and 14 she developed a crippling stutter (严重的口吃) that had her struggling to even hold a simple conversation. “I     1     (曾经是) a smart kid and had a lot to say, but later I just couldn’t say it,” she said in an interview. “I could     2     (几乎不) think I’d be able to sit and talk to someone like I’m talking to you right now.”

For Blunt, it was one junior high teacher in particular that helped her     3     (处理) the problem of speaking by encouraging her to try out for the school play. At first, Blunt did not like the idea, but the teacher wouldn’t give up on her and     4     (真诚地) encouraged her to take acting lessons and experiment with different accents and character voices to help express herself. In the end, those efforts paid off for her. In addition to her    5     (难以置信的) career as an actress, she also became a member of the board of directors for the American Institute for Stuttering.

Cristiano Ronaldo grew up in a household that     1     (几乎不) made ends meet. As a child, he had to share a room with three of his siblings (兄弟姐妹) due to their poor family’s financial situation. There were even times when they didn’t have enough money to buy a soccer ball to play in the streets. But Ronaldo did not     2     (责怪) his environment.
