His family was interested in teaching people to speak. Both his grandfather and father trained him in public speaking and teaching the deaf to speak. Bell was interested in helping the deaf, for his mother was deaf. With hope for a better life, he moved to Canada with his family in1870, and then settled（定居）in the United States a year later.Bell’s interest in educating deaf people led him to invent his “electrical speech machine”—the telephone in 1876. On March 10, 1876, Bell sentthe world’s first telephone message to his helper, Thomas Watson, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want you.” It took forty weeks to get the telephone to carry the sound of human talk. The telephone used a transmitter（送话器）, a receiver and wires. News of his invention quickly spread throughout the country, and even to Europe. The next year Bell set up the Bell Telephone Company. Five years later, in 1882, Bell became an American citizen（公民）.Since Bell’s death in Canada in 1922, great changes have taken place in the telephoneindustry. Telephone lines are widely used in communications. They can help to send not only sound messages but also video images. Today, deaf people are able to use a special display telephone to communicate. Also, the quality and speed of telephone communications have greatly improved. Bell’s invention has paved the way for the Internet. Alexander Graham Bell is best-known for the telephone, and it is very useful to people now. He was a very thoughtful person and he thought about whatever he did. His creative invention have brought lots of benefits to us. We should be thankful for him.Why did Alexander Graham Bell move to Canada with his familyA. To make more money.B. To live a better life.C.

But is it true Many bookstores are now trying everything to make more readers who enjoy staying there to read or choose books they like. And some of them have done a great job. Usually, online stores have a larger number of books than traditional bookstores. Some traditional ones are clever enough to sell just one kind of book and win the hearts of a specific（特定的）group of people, Trends Lounge in Beijing is such a place for art lovers. The bookstorehas walls of books which are about arts and artists. You may meet famous artists there or maybeeven a happy couple that choose to get married in the bookstore.Some other bookstores are trying to make themselves more than just a place that sells books. They want to be somewhere for people to take part in social activities. They may have spaces including clothes stores,cafes and tea houses and also holds lots of activities on reading, such as talking with famous writers.Some bookstores even go one step further. They themselves have become symbols of the city culture by showing the local culture of the city where they are.

The bookstores are small, but their books are carefully chosen by the owners, just like the city of Hong Kong.It's true that a great bookstore can make people enjoy reading in many ways. After all, reading online can’t bring you the touch of paper, the smell of print, and the strong feeling that you are going on a wonderful journey with each new book in a bookstore.

But how about working in some creativity in your everyday life An article from Huffington Post gave an example that a recent New Zealand study says that taking part in creative activities helps to get an increase in positive feelings and moods, happiness and health in mind, and feelings of active life. According to Carolyn Gregoire of Huffington Post, “Anyone who finds time for creative hobbies like writing diaries, drawing, doing handwork or playing musical instruments is likely to get the same effect. And what’s more, you don’t have to be a singer, dancer,writer, or painter. Anyone can be creative in their own way.”Similarly, the Pacific Standard Magazine showed a study at the University of North Carolina on college students, and it says that “those who reported feeling happy and active were morelikely to be doing something creative.” Tom Jacob of Pacific Standard Magazine says, “You don’t have to be a master. Even if the results of one’s creative activity are not perfect, they still play an important role in positive development in mind.”So, really, it doesn’t matter if your creativity means cooking something new for dinner, or decorating your bedroom.
