    You probably know many of the things that you can do with the hundreds of different muscles（肌肉） in your body. But have you ever thought about how the muscles in an animal's body are different from yours? An animal's muscles are made to do the things that are the most important for its life.

    Lions are hunters. They depend on their ability to catch other animals. Lions must be fast in order to catch their prey(猎物). The powerful muscles in their back legs allow them to run at speeds of more than 30 miles per hour. They can also jump a distance of more than 35 feet. The strong muscles in their front legs help them catch their prey.

    Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different ways than lion's do. Because snakes do not have any legs, they use their muscles to push against the ground or other objects to move themselves forward. Their muscles also allow them to eat things that seem much too large. For example, a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body. How does this happen? The snake's strong neck muscles work together to push the egg down the mouth.

    The elephant's long nose has a lot of muscles. Scientist believe that the nose alone has more than 100, 000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its nose much in the same way that people use their hands and fingers. Even though the nose is large, it can perform surprisingly tasks. For example, an elephant can pick up a tree by its roots or even to lift a baby elephant.

    The great muscles of these animals seem pretty unbelievable. But the muscles in your body work exactly the way you need them to. After all, it might be fun to be able to jump a distance of 30 feet, but as a human being, there is just not much need for it.

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."

Confidence(自信) is very important in daily life. It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to develop a health y attitude(态度). If people are more confident, they are {#blank#}2{#/blank#} happier. And they can have more chances to be successful. Here are some {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to be more confident. 

★ Speak loud. When you are not confident, you can't do well {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you want to do. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. The high voice can help you become more confident. 

★Play sports. Physical exercise makes you tired but strong. A strong body helps you be full{#blank#}6{#/blank#} confidence. 

★Encourage yourself. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Give yourself praise(表扬) for the good things you have {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. 

★Pick up a hobby. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} can make you excellent. And it will make you happy and confident. 

On weekends, the school is often quiet. But at Furong School in Sangzhi of Hunan Province, students take part in fun activities, such as playing soccer, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} and singing under the care of their teachers. 

Most students at the school are left- behind children. Their parents work far from home and they have{#blank#}2{#/blank#} to do on weekends. The school sets up some clubs so that the students can learn and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} during weekends. 

Huang Ying is in the Table Tennis Club. "I often watch table tennis {#blank#}4{#/blank#} on TV. I think playing table tennis is one of the best ways of staying {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. I play table tennis after school every day and I am really good at it now. " Huang says.

It's very important for us to get on well with our parents.

In China, we often give presents during the Spring Festival. When you accept a present, you {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(not use) one hand. You must accept it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} both hands. You {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (not open) a gift right after you receive it and you should say "Thank you".{#blank#}4{#/blank#} now things have changed among young people. They {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(not wait). What's more, they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (open) it as soon as they get it.
