14．What do Tom Sawyer and jumping frogs have in common？Stories about both of them were created by one mans：Mark Twain．Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens，Mark Twain was his pen name．When Twain was 4，his family moved to Hannibal，Missouri，lying on the west bank of the Mississippi．Twain grew up there and was attracted greatly with life along the river-the steamboats，the big wooden boats，and the people who worked on them．
The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras Country is one of Twain's best-loved short stories，and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels．Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days．There's also a fence-painting competition to see who can paint the fastest．The idea for this competition comes from a scene in Torn Sawyer，in which Torn has been told to paint the fence in front of the house be lives in．It's a beautiful day，and he would rather be doing anything else．As his friends walk by，he persuades them to paint with him for fun，and they all join in the"fun"．By the end of the day，the fence has three coats of paint!
Although the story of Tom Sawyer is not true，it's based on fact．If you go to Hannibal，you'll see the white fence，which still stands at Twain's boyhood home．

19．When I was little，I'd see tons of bats flying around streetlights at night in my neighborhood in upstate New York．
By the time I turned 7，I noticed something strange：All the bats in my neighborhood had vanished，and I wondered why．Later I learned what had happened to my town's bats．A disease called"white nose syndrome（白鼻综合征）"had killed 93percent of New York State's bats （and about 6million bats across the country）!I was shocked．I asked the bat biologist what I could do to help，and she said，"Tell others what's been happening．Help people understand that bats are important to our environment and need to be protected．"
I thought I must teach people about bats．My first stop？The library，where I eventually checked out every book on bats they had．Next，I started a Facebook page called Buddies for Bats and posted any photos，facts，and videos that I could find．Then I wrote a letter to the host of an environmental program on my local radio station，asking if they'd do a show on bats．（They did!）
But I still wanted to find a way to educate people face to face．I managed to make a presentation to a school．I also used tools to describe how bats help farmers （and protect our food supply） by eating crop-damaging insects．
I practiced my presentation until it shone like a polished stone．It went over so well that other teachers started requesting me．Over the past three years，I've talked in front of everyone from 5-year-olds to senior citizens!The more I present，the more I notice that I am changing minds．I have watched people go from dismissing bats as"disgusting（令人厌恶的）"to truly understanding them and advocating their protection．
Right now，I'm thinking of becoming a marine biologist （海洋生物学家） someday．As long as I'm helping animals，I'11be happy．

3．Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle，I used Tinkertoys （拆装玩具） as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students．I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，and said，"Make something out of the Tinkertoys．You have 45minutes today and 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 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 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 thinking．Without fail one would declare，"But I'm just not creative．"
"Do you dream at night when you're asleep？"
"Oh，sure．"
"So tell me one of your most interesting dreams．"The student would tell something wildly imaginative．Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads．"That's pretty creative．Who
does that for you？"
"Nobody．I do it．"
"Really-at night，when you're asleep？"
"Sure．"
"Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？"
