thought to be more creative (有创造性的)than the average (一般的) person. When He (1) ____________
(ask) why he was able to do this, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with his mother

bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.

Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new neighbors weren"t very welcoming. Some of them said angrily that we
should return to where we came from. The children sometimes threw stones at me or drove me home from
school.
Most of my teachers simply took no notice of me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean was
angry at how badly I was being treated, but she didn"t say this to me. Miss Bean showed her respect for me by
teaching me just like anyone else. Instead of being unnoticed, I was given a chance to show that I was clever.
Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me think for myself. She always wanted to know what I thought
about difficult questions. Was Thomas Jefferson right to buy Louisiana from France? Why? She expected me
to have my own idea. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the real key to education.
One day, when I was not paying attention in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser at me. The eraser hit
me right on the hand and sent my pencil flying. The whole class were very surprised at first, then started
laughing. This event became famous in the school and, because it happened to me, the students wanted to get
to know me. So that"s the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target (靶子), and how I became just
