4．Whether in the workplace or on the football field，effective teamwork can produce amazing results．However，working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem．Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically； it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise．There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team．
Effective leadership is one of the most important components of good teamwork．The team's leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed．An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued．
Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team．Team members must be able to articulate their feelings，express plans and goals，share ideas and see each other's opinions．
Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together．The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts．Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others．Instead of avoiding conflict issues，a hands-on approach that settles them quickly is much better．It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible．
The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork．In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated，the team leader herself/himself needs to show these qualities．The team turns to the leader for support and guidance．So any negative words or behaviors on the leader's part can be disastrous．
Regardless of what type of work you are in，knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team．

3．With large and small keyboards everywhere，neither children nor adults need to write much of anything by hand．That's a big problem．Study after study suggests that handwriting is important for brain development-helping kids get fine motor skills and learn to express and create ideas．Yet the time devoted to teaching penmanship in most schools has shrunk to just one hour a week．Is it time to give up handwriting？Have a look at the link between the brain and penmanship，and you may get the answer．
A test among students in grades 2，4and 6found that they not only wrote faster by hand than by keyboard，but also created more ideas when composing essays with handwriting．And other research shows that the finger movements required to write by hand activate brain areas involved with thought，language，and short-term memory．
A recent Indiana University study had one group of children practice writing letters by hand while a second group just looked at those letters．Then，both groups of kids entered a functional MRI （核磁共振）that scanned their brains as the researchers showed them the same letters．Researchers found that the brain activity in the first group was far more advanced and"adult-like"．
Handwriting also affects other people's way they think of adults and children．Several studies have shown that the same average essay will score much higher if written with good penmanship and much lower if written out in poor handwriting．These studies have also found that people judge the quality of a person's ideas based on his or her handwriting．And the consequences are real：On standardized tests with handwritten sections，like the SAT，all essay that is considered hard to recognize gets a big zero．
Studies show that this isn't only an English-language phenomenon．Chinese and Japanese youths are suffering from"character amnesia"．They can't remember how to write characters，thanks to computers and text messaging．Some experts fear that Chinese writing and reading are so closely linked in the brain that China's reading ability as a nation could suffer．

2．While I was in my 4th month of pregnancy （妊娠期） with my second child，we were preparing for a trip to Louisiana，where Marshall's family live，to celebrate Jane's 2nd birthday．Two days before we were to leave，we got the shocking news that I was going to lose the baby．Not knowing when this would happen，we decided to continue with our trip．
Since Marshall's family lives on a 600-acre cattle farm，you often find that you have a lot of time to yourself to think when you are there．That is precisely what I did not want to do at this time．I told Marshall that I needed to get a good book to get lost in while I was there．I told him I heard the Harry Potter books were good，so he went out and got the first one for me．
During that trip，I totally got lost in the book，which was of great help during a time when I needed a distraction to forget about the sadness．In the book，I noticed the name"Seamus"．I vaguely remembered it was pronounced"Shamus"and I liked the sound of that．I mentioned it to Marshall and he liked it too．Toward the end of the trip，I had just 5chapters left and I knew I was about to finish the first book，which I was pretty excited about．
Soon after we put Jane down to bed，I had started labor （分娩），so I was unable to read．The labor lasted 5and 1/2hours，but Marshall stayed there with me，sitting beside me and reading aloud the last 5chapters of Harry Potter．I can never fully explain how much that helped me through the experience．And ever since then，Marshall and I both have been fans of the Harry Potter books．We remember how they helped us get through that time of our lives．
We were sad to have lost the baby，but the name Seamus started our journey toward adoption．And we gave this name to our adopted son．Though our Seamus doesn't have a drop of Irish blood in him，the name fits him perfectly．
