Five years ago,when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week”
A few students hesitated to start ,They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect（感染）other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside, I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare,’“But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep？”
“Oh,sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imagimative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That’s pretty creative.Who does that for you？”
“Nobody.I do it.”
“Really—at night,when you’re asleep？”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime ,in class,okay？”

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then met to disscus them.Now,the website BookC turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure,traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both."
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual(虚拟).The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke(B层)
　　Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health. Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases. 　36　However, Edward Gilson has lung cancer, and he has never smoked cigarettes. He lives with his wife, Evelyn, who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage. The Gilsons have been married for 35 years.
No one knows for sure why Mr Gilson has lung cancer. However, doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people’s cigarettes. 　37　The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that about 53, 000 people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke.
The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals. In the past, scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker’s health. 　38　They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic(有毒的)chemicals in their bodies. 　39　For example, we cannot avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants, hotels and other public places. Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas, smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted. It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke. In the United States, nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker.
　　Research shows that children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as the children of nonsmokers. The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both parents smoke.
　 40　As a result, they have passed laws which prohibit people from smoking in many public places.

A. Recently, though, scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers.
B. As a matter of fact, almost all of US breathe tobacco smoke at times, whether we realize it or not.
C. In fact, many people who smoke get lung cancer.
D. However, secondhand smoke is dangerous to all people, old or young.
E. People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke.
F. This smoke is called secondhand smoke.
G. Many people, including doctors, parents, teachers, and others, are concerned about the health risks of cigarette smoking.
