When he was a child, he was always asking questions and trying new things. He didn't stay in school for long, but he loved reading and learning on his own. Edison's most famous invention is the electric light bulb. Before that, people used oil lamps and candles, which were not safe or convenient. Edison tried thousands of materials before he found the right one for the bulb. He once said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Besides the light bulb, Edison also invented many other things, like the phonograph and the motion picture camera. He held over 1,000 patents in his lifetime. His success came from his hard work and his ability to think differently. He believed that anyone could invent something if they kept trying. 24. When was Thomas Edison born? A. In 1847. B. In 1879. C. In 1931. D. In 1850. 25. What is Edison's most famous invention? A. The phonograph. B. The motion picture camera. C. The electric light bulb. D. The telephone. 26. Why did Edison try thousands of materials for the bulb? A. Because he liked trying new things. B. Because he wanted to find the right material. C. Because he had nothing else to do. D.

He invented only three things. C. He had over 1,000 patents. D. He didn't like reading. (B) Creative thinking is not just for artists or scientists—it's a skill that everyone can learn. Here are some ways to develop it: 1. Ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask "why" and "how" about everything around you. Questions help you think deeper. 2. Think outside the box. Try to solve problems in new ways instead of using the same old methods. 3. Keep a journal. Write down your ideas, even if they seem silly at first. You might find a brilliant thought among them later. 4. Learn from others. Read books about great thinkers and inventors. Their stories can give you inspiration. A study shows that students who practice creative thinking do better in their studies. They are also more confident and better at solving problems in daily life. So start practicing today, and you'll be surprised by what you can achieve. 阅读短文,判断正(T)误(F) 29. Creative thinking is only for artists and scientists. 30.

The teacher told us that everyone has the ability to think creatively, but we need to practice it. We did a lot of activities. For example, we had to think of 10 different uses for a paper clip. Some people said it could be used to hold papers together, but others thought of using it as a hook or even a small toy. We also learned about some famous thinkers. One of them was Leonardo da Vinci. He was not only a painter but also an inventor. He had many brilliant ideas, like flying machines and underwater suits. The teacher said da Vinci was always observing the world around him and writing down his ideas. I think this workshop has changed the way I think. Now, I try to look at things from different angles. I even started a small notebook to write down my ideas. What do you think about creative thinking? Do you have any interesting ideas to share? Write back soon! Yours, Tom 34.
