1．(学会断句) Every Saturday night /Mama would sit down by the kitchen table/and count out the money/Papa had brought home．
[分析] 本句是一个主从复合句。would sit down和count out为主句的并列谓语；Papa had brought home是定语从句，修饰the money，省略了引导词＝that/which。

“Creativity is the key to a brighter future，” say education and business experts．Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children．
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925，we might not have the product that we now think greatly important：a new type of tape．Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company．At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together．But his boss told him not to think more about the idea．Finally，using his own time，Drew improved the tape，which now is used everywhere by many people．And his former company learned from its mistake．Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas．
Creativity is not something one is just born with，nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence．The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively．Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something．
Unfortunately，schools have not tried to encourage creativity．With strong attention to test results and the development of reading，writing and mathematical skills，many educators give up creativity for correct answers．The result is that children can gain information but can't recognize ways to use it in new situations．They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems．
It is important to give children choices．From the earliest age，children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results．Even if it's choosing between two food items for lunch，decision-making helps thinking skills．As children grow older，parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money．This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学校和父母应该如何鼓励孩子提高创造力。
1．What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake
A．It should encourage people to work a longer time．
B．People should be discouraged to think freely．
C．People will do better if they pay all attention to their work．
D．It is necessary for people to spend some of their working time developing new ideas．
D [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas．”可知，德鲁曾经工作的公司从错误中学到了应鼓励人们花一些工作时间考虑和开发新想法。故选 D。]
2．What can we know from the passage about creativity
A．It is something that most people are born with．
B．It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all．
C．It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems．
D．It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all．
C [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something．”可知，创造力是一种利用已拥有的资源解决新问题的方法。故选C。]
3．Why don't schools try to encourage creativity
A．They don't attach importance to creativity education．
B．They don't want their students to make mistakes．
C．They pay no attention to examination marks．
D．They think it impossible to develop creativity in class．
A [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“With strong attention to test results and the development of reading，writing and mathematical skills，many educators give up creativity for correct answers．”可知，学校不鼓励创造力，是因为只重视考试成绩，而不重视创造性教育。故选A。]
4．What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money
A．Allow them to have a try．
B．Try to help them as much as possible．
C．Take no notice of whatever they do．
D．Order them to spend the least money．
A [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As children grow older，parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money．”可知，父母应尝试让孩子做决定，A选项正确。故选A。]
Ⅳ．完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
The good teacher saw my talent
We all know that a teacher is someone who teaches us．He or she tells us things，and we remember them．But when I met my 1 teacher，I realized this definition (定义) was too shallow (肤浅的)．

She was really kind to me and she taught me 8 ．What's more，it took her a lot of time to choose the right flute book for me and she 9 extra (额外的) time teaching me．When I couldn't remember the notes，she taught me a good 10 to remember them: FACE．F means “fa”； A means “la”； C means “do”； E means “mi”．This way I can remember the notes much more quickly．
She also tried to make the music class fun．We played games that helped develop our sense of rhythm (节奏感) and we could 11 our favorite songs with each other every Friday．We talked 12 the stories behind the songs from all over the world in class．Sometimes when we were too tired，Mrs Nevola would talk with us about something 13 to make us relaxed．
