28、hought about all the places I was going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

30、 was often sad, and saw no end to the hard times. My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there,
31、and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away!

And theres a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of childrens books bought each year . plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines f
36、or children and teenagers. Who are these needed writers? Theyre ordinary folks like you and me. But am I good enough? I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didnt know where to turn for help. Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institut

43、ng an empirical(经验的，实证的 ) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation. Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that t
44、he height of a rooms ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook. In additions to ceiling height, the v
45、iew afforded by a building may influence an occupants ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
