And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the opposite ,just as the cook as to undergo a particular training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is - schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding. There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribeto do your business or social writing for you, for money. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letters writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves. We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to papers. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figures must be extremely large. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read from first word to last, not just thrown into some “letters-to-be-read files or into the wastepaper basket. This is the reason we make efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.

Clothes made in China were worn in European countries thousands of years before the first export factories sprung up（涌现出来）. A thousand-year-old mummy, nicknamed Otzi, was wearing a Chinese jacket, latest research has found. But where and how he got the jacket has become a topic of great debate.

Otzi is the nickname of a well-preserved（保存完好）mummy from about 3300 BC. He was found in 1991 in the Otztal valley of the Alps, near the border between Austria and Italy. Two German tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon found him when they were climbing.

Otzi was thought to be the body of a soldier who fought during the first world war, but was found to be thousands of years older. Studying Otzi shows that the items with him were all of different ages. His arrows are 7,000 years old, the knife belonged to the time hundreds years later and the skin in which the man was dressed originally belonged to a goat that lived in China. Otzi's tattoo（纹身）shows that he might have been a person who practiced magic, according to Prauda, the official newspaper in Russia.

There are still thousands of mysteries about Otzi, yet the most famous and frightening one is his curse（咒语）. Some researchers believe that Otzi's curse is still effective and will bring bad luck upon those who trouble his dead body. Indeed, several people who have touched the remains of the ancient man have already died. （From Reuters 2007/12/30）
