We all have those moments when bright ideas hit us, but not everyone can develop such moments into the fruits of creative thinking. While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists, we seldom notice that creative thinking is in fact a process（过程）.
Let’s look at what happened in 1666.
Sitting in the garden, Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the moon circling the earth. Newton believed it did. He called it “gravity”.
This story has become one of the most popular examples of “eureka”moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery, the whole process of creative thinking shouldn't be forgotten.
Newton studied mathematics for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years.
Newton began to examine“gravity”carefully. He experimented. Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to do new experiments. In 1687, the greatest scientific work ever written came out.
The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our life.
In school, we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes, we catch it and then keep on working in the years to come. It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking, but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest.
1. Where may you read the passage
A．In a notice. B．In a picture. C．In a magazine. D．In a dictionary.
2. What does the underlined word “eureka” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．I've got it. B．I give up. C．I've no idea. D．I believe it.
3. How does the writer mainly develop his idea
A．By raising questions. B．By giving examples.
C．By listing numbers. D．By explaining differences.
4. The creative thinking process for Isaac Newton follows the order of ________.
a. He caught the right moment. 　 　b. He did experiments over and over.
c. He saw an apple fall from a tree.　 d. He studied mathematics for long.
A．a－c－d－b B．b－a－c－d C．a－b－c－d D．d－c－a－b
5. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain why Newton discovered gravity.
B. To discuss the importance of learning mathematics.
C. To show that creative thinking requires long-term effort.
D. To compare Newton’s discovery with other scientific works.

One possible version:
Dear Sam，
It's my pleasure to help you. I asked some classmates what they were doing in the teachers' office at around five yesterday. Here's what they said.
First of all, I asked Linda. She said she was asking Ms. Lin about some math problems at that moment. And she didn't notice what other students did at all. After that, Tony told me that Mr. Hu was talking with him about the class meeting. The last classmate I asked was Nancy. She said she was waiting for Ms. Ye at that time. But she also said she saw Tim put a box on your desk. So I think the gift was from Tim.
Hope you can be back soon.　
Yours，
Ale
