ghost. “I’ve returned to tell you that I was murdered!1 My brother Claudius put poison in my ear while I slept. Now he is married to my wife and wears my crown.” As the ghost began to fade, it cried, “Avengeu me!” Prince Hamlet pretended 2 to be crazy so King Claudius wouldn’t suspect that Hamlet knew the truth. The prince wanted revenge, but first

Polonius’s daughter, Ophelia, was driven mad by her grief,4 and she drowned herself in a river. Fearing for his own safety, Claudius sent Hamlet to England. He arranged secretly for the King of England to kill Prince Hamlet. However, Hamlet’s ship was attacked by

Claudius convinced Laertes to put poison on his sword and challenge1 Hamlet to a fencing match. “Just scratch2 Hamlet with your blade, and the poison will kill him,” said Claudius. As a backupu plan, Claudius also poisoned a glass of wine. He would give Hamlet the deadly drink if the 05

prince won the fencing match. Claudius arranged the fencing challenge, and he and the queen were the audience. Hamlet scored the first hit but declined Claudius’s drink. The †

queen was proud of her son’s fencing, so she toasted Hamlet and drank deeply from the poisoned cup. Within moments, she was dead. 10

Distracted by his mother’s death, Hamlet was wounded by Laertes, but the poison was slow. They continued to fight and accidentally3 switched4 swords. Hamlet finally wounded Laertes with the poisoned sword. “Claudius is responsible for the queen’s death,” confessed Laertes just before dying. “He put poison in the glass.” Hamlet angrily turned

problem solving can be a great help in school and life, but is shutting

the University of Toronto(多倫多大學)say no.

Out of 100 students tested, those who got the highest creativity scores usually 05

had the lowest focus scores. Because they are less able to control their attention, they are more likely to come across original ideas. This doesn’t mean that the best way to take a test is to daydream,u though. Inattention only leads to creativity when you take the time to think about and develop those strayu thoughts. What do you do when your creative juices aren’t flowing?

How about putting on an actual thinking cap?† Australian scientists have developed a cap that sends electricity1 into two areas of the brain. This is done to help free the brain from old ideas and let it come up with new ones. To be more creative, it’s best to let your mind wander
