I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each
9、student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes todayand 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
10、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
11、 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
12、 thinking.

16、 activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then need to discuss them. Now, the website BookC turns the page on the traditional idea of a book groups. Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an
17、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.

19、 thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found.

23、ul Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurleys pictures would be outstanding - undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of s
