2．Five Steps to Better Handwriting
Some kids love handwriting，but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper．Maybe they are worried about their handwriting．Are you one of them？（36）F Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this-hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name．Pretty hard？But when you hold your pencil the correct way，writing is much easier．（37）G Hold it in place with your thumb（大拇指），and your index（食指） and middle fingers．
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend！Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion（均衡）．（38）CAlso be sure to fill up the lined space completely．Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one．
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read，try slowing down a little．If you rush，it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters．
Lower the pressure
（39）EThat makes it harder to make the smooth lines．Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly．
（40）A
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures．So even though it's not schoolwork，you're still using the skills you need to control your pen better．

A．Play games．
B．Ask for more advice．
C．So"a"should be half the height of a capital"A"．
D．You've been writing since you were a little kid．
E．Some kids press down really hard when they write．

19．Proverbs are quite common in spoken English．We don't normally put them in a composition or a letter．Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean．Here are a few examples．
1）"Once bitten，twice shy．"If a dog bites me，I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it．This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs．If you have been cheated at a shop，you will not go to the same shop again．
2）"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush．"If I am a hunter，trying to catch birds，it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them．Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future．
3）"Too many cooks spoil the broth （soup）"．When too many people do something，they get in each other's way and do a bad job．
4）"To pour oil on troubled waters"is to try to calm things down．Oil is lighter than water．If a ship is in trouble at sea，another ship may come to help it．The second ship can send small boats to rescue people．However，it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough．
5）"Don't be a dog in a manger（槽）"means"Don't be selfish．"In a stable （马房），the manger is the place where the horse's food is put．Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food．The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it．
6）"He is sitting on the fence"means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it．He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides，perhaps waiting to see which side will win．
7）"He who pays the piper calls the tune．"A piper is a musician．The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the musician will play．Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan，he can say how it will be carried out．
8）"You can't get blood out of a stone"means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want．e．g．you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man．
1．Peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let his younger brother ride on it．His mother is angry and says to him：B．

16．China is a land of bicycles．At least it was back in 1992when I traveled the country．Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle．Millions of them，all black．Cars were rare．Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I've found the opposite is true．There are millions of cars．However，people still use their bicycles to get around．For many，it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today．Bicycles also come in different colors-silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want．
It's fun watching people biking．They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks（人行道）．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide．
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle．Great weather accompanied my great buy．I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home．
My first ride home was orderly （守秩序的）．To be safe，I stayed with a"pack"of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times．I didn't want to get hit．So I took the ride carefully．
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem．It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States．The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck．
I finally made it home．The feeling on the bicycle was amazing．The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful．I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people．Biking made me feel alive．
