People who live in Iceland are proud of their county and their origin. Complete independence from Denmark after World War II resulted in the county's fast development. They refuse to permit immigration（移民）though the country has a small population. Their attitude to foreigners is friendly but reserved（保守）.

The Icelanders regard themselves as one big family. Most of them earn their living by farming and people's hopes are centered on the land and its soil. Typical for rural Iceland are the isolated valley farms against mountains. Cultivated grassland stretches out from the buildings.

They mainly raise sheep and cattle. In spring, flocks of sheep are driven to mountain grassland and allowed to wander feely over the summer. When autumn puts its first mark on the mountains. the sheep are rounded up and driven down.

As in all countries where winter and darkness take up most of the year, the center of life is the home. The houses of Iceland were once built of wood，but now cement（水泥）is used in towns and stones in the countryside .During the long winters the Icelanders rarely go out of the house. When they must go out, they put raincoats over their heavy woolen overcoats and furs to keep out the damp.

Creativity is the process of taking an idea and applying it in real life. If we aren't creative，we can't think outside the box and question what we can do.

Asking questions is a good way of sparking creativity.

First, we can ask learners questions that have more than one possible answer. In science:“How many ways can you find to empty a glass of water without touching it？”In any subject:“What else would you like to know？""How do you know that is true？"“Is there another way of doing this？"

Second, we can encourage learners to invent their own questions. We can do this for a topic that students are familiar with in their study. Firstly, discuss what makes a good question. Secondly, create questions by grouping questions into different types—open, closed，or one that challenges the imagination. Finally put those questions in order according to their importance Our teachers encourage us to ask questions and not accept the standard answers without reasoning（推理）. Our school has some activities annually to inspire creativity in every student. Our teachers encourage us to be creative and think of solutions for real-world problems. On the whole, the freedom of being allowed to be ourselves is what brings out the best in our creativity.
