Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题)
Eric was standing in front of a large grey house in the countryside. He had just been dropped off by his mum, who left after telling him that he was going to spend the next twelve days there with no TV, no mobile phone and — worse of all — no computer.
Suddenly, a man appeared at the entrance of the house. When he saw Eric, he went up to him immediately. ‘You must be Eric. Welcome to the camp,’ said the man confidently. ‘I’m Tony, the camp leader, but you will call me “Sir”. Now tell me why you’re here.’
Eric quickly replied, ‘My mum made me come!’ When Tony looked at him angrily and did not say anything, Eric realized his mistake and added, ‘Sir!’
‘And do you know why your mother sent you here?’ asked Tony.
‘She thinks I spend too much time online. Sir,’ answered Eric. ‘It’s not just her opinion — it’s
the truth! Look at you — pale, unfit, and definitely not getting enough sleep. You’re here because you think the virtual world is much better than the real world. But you’re wrong! The real world has much more to offer. At the camp, you’re going to go hiking, rowing, rock-climbing and stay outdoors most of the time,’ promised Tony.
Eric’s heart sank.
‘But it’s not going to be all fun and games,’ Tony continued. ‘We have rules here. If you break them, you’ll get punished. But you won’t simply get detention (课后留校), and you can forget about suspension (停学) — you’ll never be sent home early! Instead, you’ll clean the toilets, wash the dishes or do an extra hour of exercise!’
‘Oh Mum,’ sighed Eric. ‘What have you got me into?’

Creative thinking isn’t just for art classes. Any time you try something different to solve a problem, you’re being creative. In sports, that might mean trying new moves to score a goal for your team. In engineering, that might mean using different materials to protect an egg. At home, it could mean figuring out a shortcut to get to your friend’s house or making up a game to enjoy yourself. You are creative every day!
Are some people naturally more creative than others?
Maybe, but anyone can get more creative with practice. Here are some skills that work for professional people who are creative in very different ways.
Explore and Imagine
Shigeru Miyamoto is the brains behind Super Mario Bros, one of the world’s most popular
video games. He spent hours exercising his creativity by exploring nature and going on adventures in his mind. He finds joy in making up new worlds and adventures to design new games.
Look for mix-up
Dr. Oxman and her team mix things that don’t usually go together. For example, they mixed ideas from common robots and insects when they invented small robots. Dr. Oxman said she often doubted her ideas. If you come up with ideas you’re not sure about, don’t worry.
Keep Creating
Miranda wrote the songs for Disney’s movie Moana. In an interview, he was asked if he kept writing new songs, his answer: “Always!”

A Backcountry Adventure
Sunday, July l0th
We are back from our three-day camping trip to the Shenandoah Valley. Mom and Dad had been worried about our family’s reliance on computers, cell phones, and video games for entertainment. So they decided a camping trip would help us overcome our dependence on electronic devices. I knew we’d have to be resilient (适应力强的) in order to find a way to survive without the comforts of home.
