    Should More Cities Make It Illegal (不合法)to Text While Crossing the Street?

Hawaii, the U.S., recently passed a law making it illegal to text or look down at mobile phones while crossing the street. It is the first major U.S. city with a law like this. Do you think more places should pass such a law? Here are some ideas.

Sally, Seoul, South Korea

    We should make it illegal in more cities because texting while walking can be dangerous. If you are looking at your phone while walking, you might not see a car come or the traffic light turn red.

Andrew, Sydney, Australia

    I disagree because we have the right to make our own decisions. The government needs to stop telling us what to do. After all, this is a free country. And police need a lot of time to catch real criminals (犯人).

Madeline, Paris, France

    This law is a good idea. If this law goes into effect in more cities, people will be upset. But is there really a way to please everyone? This would not be for fun. It would be for the benefit and safety of all the people.

Anjali, Tokyo, Japan

    People do many things that cause injury (伤害) to themselves but are not illegal. People might get hurt from texting while walking if they're not paying attention. But I still think they should have a choice.

Do you like writing by hand or with a keyboard?

A new brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, shows that choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.

"When you write your shopping lists or notes by hand, you simply remember things better after some time."said Audrey van der Meer, author of the study.

The study was done using equipment(设备) to track(跟踪) and record brain wave activity. 12 young adults and 12 children took part in the study. Each person was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a special ca p with over 250 electrodes(电极). The sensors (传感器) in the electrodes picked up the electrical activity that took place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes per person.

The results show that the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses become active by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These build connect ion between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.

Van der Meer believes that the results show the importance of children's learning to draw and write at an early age, especially at school."Learning to write by hand is a bit slower course, but it's important for children to experience the tiring step of learning to write by hand"she said,

The hand movements are good for us in many ways. "If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor(精细动作) skills and senses.It's important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible."Van der Meer added."You might use a keyboard to write an article, but you should learn by hand during a class."

The Spring Festival is one of the most important holidays in China. Last year,I had the chance (机会) to1 it with a family of one of my dear Chinese friends in a little town in China's Guizhou Province. The2 was interesting. 

Before my arrival, my friend's family had cleaned their whole house,and done their shopping. They were very hospitable. My friend showed me around the town every day. 

On the New Year's Eve,I enjoyed a big meal with my friend's family. We watched a(n)3 show on TV. As I 4 understand Chinese well,the time seemed to pass very slowly. When midnight came,everyone in the house shouted in5

Every morning in the following days,I6 for the sounds of firecrackers (鞭炮) as early as 5 a. m. My friend told me that people were chasing off evil spirits (赶走邪灵). He took me to visit 7 relatives during the day. We were usually invited to stay for dinner. We once happened to see a lion dance on the street. Every business owner was happy if the "lions" stopped by their shop 8 that usually means good luck will come. 

Before I left,my friend's parents handed me a red envelope with some money in it. His father said it was to9 me on the road,bring me good luck and wish me a happy new year. It felt like I was part of the10 ,though I couldn't chat (聊天) with the parents at all.
