Long long ago, there was a small village. This village had a 36   tradition. At the beginning of every year, any boy who had reached the age of majority (成年) was given land and money to build a home. The boy had to 37 his home before winter. If his home failed to endure the cold weather in winter, the villagers could not 38   him in any way．
One _39_, Paul and Marc reached their majority. They 40 their land and money and decided to search nearby villages for ideas on building their homes．In each village, they found the nicest 41 and talked to the owners. Each owner gladly offered 42 ．
After Marc saw several homes, he 43 the best ideas and went back to his own land. Paul, _44_, continued collecting more ideas. Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to 45 some of them. But he always believed he could find even better ideas in the next village．
Marc began building his home. He had several false starts, 46   his home gradually rose from his land. By fall, Marc had finished his home. It wasn't perfect, but it was strong and he could 47 it later. Paul enjoyed all the beautiful homes and 48 with home owners. The first snow came and Paul, realizing he was running out of time, 49   back to his land. He built the best home he could in the time he had, but it was 50 .The first winter storm destroyed his home and he froze to 51 ．The villagers mourned for him．
Marc 52 the winter．Each year, Marc searched for other good ideas he could use to make his own home look better. He became a leader in the village, 53 a family, and lived a happy, content life．
We all build and improve our own mental homes. It’s 54   and fun for us to search for ideas from other mental home owners, but we only improve our own mental home if we actually 55 the best ideas．

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   36   not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of   37  . Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together.   38 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   39   company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new   40 .
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it   41   a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not   42   that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.  43  , schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators   44 creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but cannot recognize ways to use it in new   45 . They may know the rules correctly, but they are   46   to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children   47 . 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, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the   48   decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is ___49___the most important character of creative people is a very strong ___50    to find a way out of trouble.

Recent studies show that only one out of three people have strong and healthy self-confidence. That 36 two out of every three people simply don’t know the 37 they already have to be successful when it’s 38 there in their hands! 39 if you want others to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself first. Remember: “No one can make you feel inferior (差的)unless you 40 them.” A successful businessman says, “You can’t push anyone up a ladder 41 he knows he can climb himself.”
Many of us have an image 42 , the image（形象） we have of ourselves. 43 one guy put it: “You can’t win a horse race if you think you look 44 on a horse.” To succeed, the first person you have to 45 is yourself! So stop believing your own lies about yourself. Just 46 your mind and you’ll change your life.
One of the most harmful weapons that can kill your success in life are the two little words: “ 47 ”. You know that people used to 48 that if human beings traveled faster than 30 miles an hour it would 49 our circulation（循环）of blood and kill us? Thank goodness a few people didn’t believe that 50 thinking, or we wouldn’t be riding in cars, buses, and flying in airplanes today. You’ll never know until you 51 .
Roger Bannister was the first human being to run a mile in less than 4 minutes. But 52 he did it, most people in the world didn’t think it was even 53 . Yet only weeks after Bannister did it, suddenly 54 all over the world began running a mile in less than 4 minutes! If we believe something can be done, we’ll 55 do it.
