          Collecting any sort of item makes a person unique. It can be stamps,baseball cards,snow globes,or even coins. What you collect can also show who you are as a person. My husband has a wonderful collection handed down from generation to generation. He has a massive collection of coins. The tradition started from his great grandmother,who handed her coins down to her daughter,who in turn,handed them down to my husband's mother. The tradition was supposed to stay within the daughters of the family. However,my husband had more interest in the collection than his sister and brother. So,his mother handed over her collection to him.

           It was given to him about ten years ago,and since then,the collection has doubled. He has coins from Roman times and World War II!Just recently he got a whole collection from Europe and Mexico. Collecting them alone is amazing. However,the way he takes care of them is even better. He cherishes every one of his coins. He keeps all of them in a small bag also given by his mother,and stores it away safely" in a small drawer. No matter where he travels,or where he visits," he always comes home with a coin in his hand. Each one of those coins has a story behind them. Each time he holds a coin in his hand,a story comes out about how he got it.

             Many people would think the coin collection is fun and typical. For my husband,it has so much more meaning. It is a true passion that he hopes to pass on to our child in the future. Anything that can create a story,a memory,or a happy thought makes it worthwhile. A collection of any sort makes a person unique. For me,my husband is someone who has a unique hobby.

          The Snowman is one of my all-time favorite pieces of animation (动画片) . Directed by Dianne Jackson and produced by Jonathan Coates,this film is truly filled with wonder. The music by Howard Blake,Walking in the Air,stays with me for days every time I watch this film.

He gives it eyes,a nose,a scarf and a hat. He. even gives it a big smiley face. After building the entire snowman by himself,it is time for James to go to bed. When he wakes up again he notices that the snowman has moved a little,so he runs downstairs and out of the door. He then notices the snowman is glowing,moves some more and then totally comes to life. The snowman and James introduce themselves to each other and become great friends. The rest,of the film shows the two flying around with so much^ fun and adventure throughout the day.

            The book,The Snowman,was adapted for the screen in 1982. It was (提名) for an Academy Award for best animated short film. The scenes of the animation are just amazing,bringing to life so many memories from the days of mowe 以(电影短片) .The Silence in the film,meaning that there is no dialogue,makes it even more beautiful and old-fashioned.

          Do you think we can understand people's characters from the way they write? Many people would disagree with the idea. However,some business leaders and a group called “graphologists(笔迹学家)”believe our personalities are revealed in our handwriting.

           Graphology is a term used to describe the practice of analyzing people's  handwriting to determine what kind of personalities they have. It's  thought that certain letter formations and patterns in wnting reveal personality types.

           Many organizations in France invite graphologists to help with the selection of employees. Applicants are required to submit a handwritten letter so that graphologists can determine if they have the right personality for the job. Handwriting that is big and carefully planned is thought to indicate that the writer is outgoing and confident. Thus,jobs that require such a personality would be given to people with this type of handwriting. People with plain handwriting who use small letters would be thought to be shy and thus not suitable for the job.

           The slant(倾斜) of a person's handwritjng is ajso thought to reveal something about his character. Writing with a slant to the right、vShows that the person thinks about the future,while writing with a slant to the left reveals a tendency to be stuck in the past. A person whose letters are round rather than (有棱角的) would be thought to be friendly.

Though graphology is widely used,it is not supported by scientific evidence. The reason it seems to work is that the personality descriptions revealed are highly generalized. It is much like a horoscope(占星术) or palm reading,which describes personalities using very general terms. And people tend to notice the parts of the description that are true while ignoring the parts that are not true.

5. Applicants* handwriting is analyzed mainly to find out whether they .

   A. have the ability to handle the job

   B. can devote themselves to the job

   C. were good students in the past

   D. have big plans for the future

6. Which of the following about graphology is mentioned in the text?

   A. The size and angle of letters.

   B. The space between letters or words.

   C. The scientific evidence of graphology.

   D. The speed and pressure of the writing.

7. What do we know about a person by his handwriting according to the text?

   A. A person who writes round letters is silent.

   B. Angular writing shows someone is easy-going.

   C. A person who has a right slant in his writing is future-oriented.

   D. Large writing shows someone likes to live in the past.

8. The text is mainly about .

   A. what helps graphologists analyze handwriting

   B. what people's  handwriting reveals about them

   C. how graphology is used to predict people's future

   D. how we can improve our handwriting with practice
