(A)
Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman living there, and I had _31_ met her, yet I could see her sic by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
Several months later, I began to notice that her window was dirty._32_ was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself .“I _33_ why that woman doesn’t wipe her window. It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to _34_ my flat, including wiping the windows on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the work, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a (an)_35_! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was _36_ visible. Her window was clean.
Then it dawned (明白)on me. I have been criticizing (批评)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How _37_ had I looked at and criticized _38_ through my own shortcomings?
Since then, whenever I want to _39_ someone, I try to clean the window of my own in order that I may see the _40_ about me more clearly.

Drew didn’t stop and, using his own time, finally made a kind of tape, which was used by many people later. And his company learned from its _43_, Now the company asks its workers to _44_15% of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with. Creativity is the matter of _45_ your intelligence to think of new ideas that are good for something.

Children from such schools can give correct answers, but they are unable to use them to work out problems.
It is important _47_ children choices. From the earliest age, children should learn to make decisions and understand their _48_. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide _49_ to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make
