“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right", says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people.She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is.In Mollie’s opinion, it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing."If you aren't telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed." she says.With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer."I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,’ she says, "This love goes back to early childhood.I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said ‘Nonsense, Mollie; dear, you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer."

This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical(自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement.Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup(金凤花)meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses."I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood.I’ll never go back, "she said."Never.When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said, “I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work.And that’s important because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.”

It’s the ending of 2016,but as USA Today says,“it’s never too late to plan your 2016 travels”.With so many hot destinations around the globe,“where should I go?” can be difficult to answer. According to Lonely Planet,though,Brazil is a fine choice-on Aug.29,the travel guide named that country the top one to visit in 2016.

“As if endless strands of coast and mountains,splashed with rainforest didn’t already add up to an unfair share of heaven (天堂),Brazil will hold two of the greatest sporting events in the world,beginning with the 2014 FIFA World Cup and followed by the 2016 Summer Olympics,”explained Lonely Planet.

Brazil is the largest and most populous country in South America. It boasts(自豪拥有) the Amazon,the world’s largest jungle,which is home to a variety of plants and animals. But the great landscape is not the only thing Brazilians take pride in.

The colors green and yellow might make most people think of Brazil’s soccer team even more than its national flag. Soccer is more than a sport in Brazil;it’s a way of life. In fact,the World Cup brings Brazilians together. It is interesting to note,that the general elections(大选) in Brazil are usually held during the same year as the World Cup. Political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm created by soccer to inspire political energy.

Alongside soccer,samba is another symbol of Brazil. The country’s most traditional dance is highlighted every February at the Rio Carnival,which is one of the world’s biggest.

“Brazil has left its second-class nation status,” said former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in 2009 after Rio de Janeiro was awarded the 2016 Olympics.

Brazil’s growing economy,fueled (刺激) by oil and aircraft factories,has made it more than just a nation of samba,soccer and beaches. These days,it might just be the best tourist destination in the world.

1.Which is true about Brazil?

A. It will hold the FIFA World Cup and the Summer Olympics in 2016.

B. Soccer and samba are two symbols of the country.

C. It is the largest country with the longest history in South America.

C. he is confident that his country has developed very fast

D. the 2016 Olympics, not samba or soccer, has made his country the first class

B. give an introduction of Brazil as a tourist destination

C. give an objective review of Brazil as a nation

If you like texting and are trying to lose weight, a new study found that using texting(发短信) to track diet and exercise habits may help you lose weight.

Previous research has shown that keeping food and exercise diaries improves the likelihood of success when you are using it to lose weight. Using a computer or a pen and paper to record information, however, can be a burden and cause some people to give up.

Duke University researchers said using text messages to track eating and exercise habits can save time, and increase the chances that people will stick with their weight-loss rules.

The study included 26 obese/fat women with an average age of 38. The women used daily texting as part of their weight-loss program. The text messages focused on tracking personalized goals, such as avoiding sugary drinks or walking 10,000 steps a day. Messages also provided brief feedback (反馈) and [Z-X-X-K]tips.

Every morning, the women received a text from an automated system that said, “Please text yesterday’s personal information of steps you walked and how many sugary drinks you had.” Based on the women's responses to the text message, the system sent another text with personalized feedback and tips.

After six months, the women who used daily texting lost an average of nearly 3 pounds, while another group of women who used traditional methods to keep food and exercise diaries gained an average of 2.5 pounds, according to the study, which was published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.

“Text messaging has become popular and may be an effective method to simplify tracking of diet and exercise behavior,” Dori Steinberg, who was responsible for this research, said.

Steinberg said, “Text messaging offers several advantages compared to other self-monitoring methods. Unlike web-based diet and exercise diaries, data in a text message can be entered quickly on nearly all cell phone platforms so it is very convenient to receive feedback. Besides, because of the limited number of words used in text messages, it saves time.”

A. are easier for people to lose weight

B. may cause people to give up losing weight

C. provide brief feedback and tips

D. are easy to track diet and exercise behavior

2.Which is NOT true about text messaging according to Steinberg?

A. It saves time.

B. It saves money.
