4、Parents can have a great impact on the development of their children＇s creativity in art. But first， they have to know how. They may find the following advice interesting and instructive. Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books. Coloring books stop the possibility of self-expression. A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself. A an art teacher says，”Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learn language easily.” In fact， a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is the beginning of literacy and creativity. Also， parents should not teach their kids “how” to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves.Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children， making them think they can＇t do it the “right” way. Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation. A child＇s natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing. Parents should be role models for their kids. They should not say things IKe， I can＇t draw a straight line.” Instead， they should learn to say，”1love to create”. This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product. If children see their parents drawing， cooking or building creatively， they wi11 do the same. Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a journal for making up stories， writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly， expressing himself. Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums， science centers， libraries and children＇s museums all are great places to see other people＇s creativity. That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions. Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.In short， parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves. That means not always teaching and commanding.4.To be inspired by other people＇s creativity， children should().( )

4、Many people think New York is a noisy city. In fact， scientists who study noise say that the average noise level in New York is 72.5 decibels. This is a little louder than normal conversation， which is 65 decibels. The noise level is the result of so many people and cars in the same area. Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you get into a taxi， you hear the voice of a well-known singer sports reporter， or Broadway actress giving instructions. That＇s right. The voice of a famous person tells you what to do.One popular singer gives this message:” Cats have nine lives， but you have only one， to fasten your seat beat!”Other voices say things such as “Don＇t forget to collect all your belongings.”【People often leave hats， umbrella， and bags in taxis. 】 There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12， 000 cabs in New York， and every year taxis get into more than 15， 000 accidents. In an accident， people who don＇t wear seat belts hit the partition， the glass wall separating the driver and passengers in the taxi. They can hurt their foreheads or break their noses or chins. Every year， about 11， 000 people are injured in this way. Many people are annoyed by the voices. Cabdrivers in particular dislike the messages.”I play the messages 12 hours a day.I hear the same voices 60 times a day. It makes me crazy， “ says Atnis， a 45-year-old cabdriver.”But if I don＇t play the messages， I get fined 100 dollars.” A lot of passengers complained， too.”It＇s too much noise， “ says a passenger， “l asked the driver to turn off the message， but he said he can＇t.” Other people think the voices are a great idea. One taxi driver says， “ People like to hear the famous voices， and they put on their seat belts more often.” And passengers from out of town really like the idea.”Most of the time， taxi drivers are in a bad mood， “says Melanie Benton， who visits New York often on business， “It＇s nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab.”1.The sentence” Cats have nine lives， but you have only one＇“ implies that().( )
