First of all, a pen should fit comfortably in your hand and be 5 to use.The thickness of the pen is the most important characteristic(特征) 6 comfort.Having a small hand and thick fingers, you may be comfortable with a thin pen.If you have a 7 hand and thicker fingers,you may 8 a fatter pen.The length of a pen can 9 influence comfort.A pen that is too 10 can easily feel top-heavy and unstable.
Then, the writing point of the pen should 11 the ink to flow evenly(均匀的)while that pen remains in touch with the paper 12 will make it possibly for you to creat a 13 line of writing.The point should also be sensitive enough to 14 ink from running when the pen is lifted.A point that does not block the 15 may leave drops of ink, 16 you pick the pen up and put it down again.
17 , the pen should make a thick, dark line.Fine-line pens may 18 bad handwriting, but fine, delicate lines do not command 19 next to printed text, as, 20 , a singnature on a printed letter.A broader line, on the other hand, gives an impression of confidence and authority(权威).
Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met in my life is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. 1 I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his 2 qualities.First of all, I respected his 3 to teaching.Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom.His followers liked the fact that he 4 what he taught.Furthermore, he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an 5 way, introducing such aids to 6 as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers.Once he 7 sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. 8 , I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them 9 the telephone.Drinking coffee in the café, he would easily make friends with students.Sometimes he would 10 a student to a game of chess. 11 , he would join student groups to discuss a variety of 12 : agriculture, diving and mathematics and so on.Many young people visited him in his office for 13 on their studies; others came to his home for social evenings.Finally, I was 14 by his lively sense of humor.He believed that no lesson is a success 15 , during it, the students and the professor 16 at least one loud 17 .Through his sense of humor, he made learning more 18 and more lasting.If it is 19 that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry, 20 my friend is indeed a wise man.
