• 1．My Favourite Books
     Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series（系列） of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads.
     Matilda：Roald Dahl
     I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words.Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress，Miss Trunchbull，are equally funny and frightening，but they're also aspirational.
    After Dark：Haruki Murakami
  It's about two sisters—Eri，a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping，and Mari，a young student.In trying to connect to her sister，Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets.
     Gone Girl：Gillian Fynn
     There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did，but the horror story is brilliant.There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.
     The Stand：Stephen King
     This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around.After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population，a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left.Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.

• 2．When you hear the word "birthmark"，you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body．For me，it's different-I have them on my lips and inside my mouth．I'm used to being asked， "What are those black marks on your lips？" When I tell people they're birthmarks，they usually say， "That's strange．" I used to consider them ugly．However，my mom calls them beauty marks．
     In pictures，I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing （噘起） my lips so I wouldn't ave to deal with people' s questions，As I was growing up，people wore me out with them．Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name．In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality．
     My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom's side of the family，My mom's mom has birthmarks on her lips，and my mom's uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies．Every year I plan to have procedure to remove them．But when imagining the process，I always get nervous and give up．
     My cousin faces a similar challenge．She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm．She's never tried to hide it or change her appearance．Once，her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often．If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion，she wouldn't be such a person as she is．
     Inspired by my cousin，I am finally accepting who I am and now I don't hesitate when someone asks me about them either．I say， "They're beauty marks" and smile without pursing my lips．

• 3．Does handwriting matter？Not very much，according to many educators.However，scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important.New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.
     Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand，but they are also better able to create ideas and remember jye.aiformation.In other words，it's not only what we write that matters — but how.
     A study led by Karin James，a psychologist at Indiana University，gave support to that view.A group of children，who had not learned to read and write，were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways：draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline（虚线），draw it on a piece of blank white paper，or type it on a computer.Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.
     It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer，the activity in three areas of the brain were increased.These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write.By contrast，children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect.Dr.James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting：Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable.Those are not necessary when we have an outline.
     It's time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children's handwriting.
  
  （1）What do scientists mean by saying "it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important"？

  
  A．Handwriting is not very important to children.
  B．Handwriting has nothing to do with education.
  C．Handwriting should not be ignored at present.
  D．Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.
  （2）What does "that view" in Para.3 refer to？

  
  A．Children read quickly when they write by hand.
  B．How we write is as important as what we write.
  C．Children create ideas and remember information.
  D．A group of students should know what to write.
  （3）Which is NOT the children's task in the experiment？

  
  A．Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.
  B．Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.
  C．Type the image directly on a computer.
  D．Put a brain scanner and show the image again.
