“Impossible is nothing!” is an advertisement. It means: to do something that seems 1. : something that is special and creative, can 2. be very easy.
I like to watch LeBron James jump high into the air and see him 3. and twist（扭转） his body on the way to scoring a basket. When I watch LeBron I see someone using his intelligence., skill and creativity. 4. taught him how to play basketball but no one taught him how to be 5. and creative. That was always inside of him.
Being creative can be easy and it 6. with two questions, “why?” and “why not?” Charles Darwin asked, “Why is man the most 7. animal?” and developed his theory of evolution(进化). Thomas Edison asked “Why not turn electricity into light?” and 8. the light bulb.
Creativity is something that is 9. everyone. And it’s easy to use that creativity just by 10. questions and searching for the answers. With a good education and your own creativity you can be like LeBron James, Charles Darwin and Thomas Edison, and show the world that “impossible is nothing.”
Children start out as natural scientists. They are interested in looking into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy—there’s no need for a lot of expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity（好奇心）.
First，______1._________ I once visited a second-grade classroom to talk about working as a scientist. The children asked me “textbook questions”—about schooling, salary, whether I liked any job. When I finished answering, I said: “Do you have questions of your own—about science”
After a long time, a boy put up his hand. “Am I just a bag of blood? Whenever I cut myself, I see blood.” This began a lot of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Second, ________2.________ Studies have shown that after asking a question, adults usually wait only one second or less for an answer—no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children can give more logical(逻辑的), complete and creative answers.
Third, _____3.__________ Once you have a child telling his idea in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good.” These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can mean that the discussion is over. Instead, you can say “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before,” or come up with more questions or ideas.
__________4.__________ It doesn’t make sense—children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so he won’t have his own idea.
Last, _______5.________ Real-life feelings of nature are far more exciting than any lesson children can learn from a book or a TV program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜)，and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.
Doing this and they will clearly see that learning is not something that happens only in school. Learning is something to be enjoyed every day—for a lifetime.
A.Never push a child to “Think!”. B.show, don’t tell. C.give them time to think D.listen to their questions E.watch your language |

If you go to an American middle school on Wednesday morning, you will hear kids talking about the American idol(美国偶像)show from the night before. Some have called it the most influential show in the history of television.
American Idol has been extremely successful in the country since 2002. The show was number one for six years! The most popular episode（剧集）had nearly 38 million viewers. But why is the show so popular?
The idea of the show is this: everyday people get a chance to show their singing talents to the world and become an “American Idol”, a famous pop star. Anyone in the country(between the ages of 15 and 28) can have a try—a chance of becoming world famous.
In fact, everyday people are the ones who are allowed on the show. If you are a professional singer—you cannot be an American Idol. The winners are regular people from small towns—people who sang in churches or bars（酒吧）but had bigger dreams.
The winners of the contest don’t get a prize of money. Instead, they get to record an album. Famous stars such as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood gained fame(获得名声) from winning the show. So, it seems the contest really works.
It is the idea that anyone can be a super star that draws people to this program. All those hours of practicing in front of the mirror could lead to fame and fortune（财富）.Even you could be the next “American Idol”.

My grandfather took me to the fishing pond（鱼塘）on the farm when I was about 7 years old, and he asked me to throw a stone into the water.
I did what I was asked. Then my grandfather told me to watch the waves made by the stone. Moments later, he asked me to think of myself as that stone.
"You may make a lot of splashes（浪花）in your life, but remember the waves that come from those splashes will affect the peace of all your friends beside you," he said.
"Remember that you are responsible for（负责） what you throw into your circle, and that your waves will touch many other circles. Always try to live in a way that the waves that come from your circle send out the peace of your goodness to other circles."
"Remember the waves that come from anger and jealousy（嫉妒）will also send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for all the waves."
That was the first time I realized each person creates the inner peace or anger that flows（流）out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we have hatred（仇恨）and anger.
We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we tell others about them or not. Whatever is inside of us is flowing out into the world and touching all the other circles of life.
