  When I was 15, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books.All the students nearly fell out of their chairs,   1   me.“Don’t be   2  .Only geniuses(天才)can become writers,” the English teacher said sarcastically(讽刺地).“And you are getting a D this term.” I was   3   deeply and I burst into tears.

  That night I wrote a short, sad poem about   4   dreams and mailed it to the Capper’s Weekly newspaper.To my   5  , they published it, and sent me two dollars.I was a(an)  6   writer!

A month later, I   16   a letter, and a request to start working on   17   book.Crying Wind became a bestseller, and was translated into 15 languages.People ask what college I attended, what degrees I have, and what qualifications(品质)I have to be a writer.The answer is   18  .I just write.I’m not a genius, and I’m not gifted.I just write.To all those who dream of   19  , I’m shouting at you, “Yes, you   20  ! Don’t listen to them!” Writing is easy.It’s fun, and anyone can do it.

  What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red?   1  .Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be pessimist.At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.  2  .If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

    3  .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.  4  .A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply.Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

    5  .It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

A.On the other hand, black is depressing.

B.They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up-we are born with our preference.

C.The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.

D.If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.

E.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.

F.Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.

G.Colours do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it

Four Steps to Better Learning

  Sheela and Nisha had almost the same level of intelligence and came from similar family backgrounds.Sheela found it hard to memorise a poem for an oral test while Nisha did it without any difficulty.  1   Why was there a difference?

  The answer is : Nisha just knew how to learn better than Sheela did.  2   Here are four steps to better learning.

  Preview the matter first.Scan or skim over a material quickly.Read the first sentence of each paragraph, glance at the table of contents and the preface.

    3   Speed reading is fine for the easy material.But for more complex works, slower reading is much more effective.Good learners actively think about what they read and assimilate(吸收)it.

  Be focused.To improve concentration and focus, fix a particular time and place for studying.Use a variety of methods, like writing down what you’ve read, taping it and then listening to it, making an outline or even drawing a diagram.  4   It will improve your learning capacity(能力).

    5   Each person has his own way of learning.If given the pieces of an object to assemble(聚集), each of us uses a different method to arrive at the same result.Analyse your approach and follow the method that you feel most comfortable with.

A.Follow your own learnign style.

B.Slow down and read it aloud to yourself.

C.Take a break if you become too tense or tired.

D.Turn to your heroes or tutors for advice and follow their advice.

E.She increased the capacity of her brain by applying some skills.

F.She only scanned a new poem twice before reciting it from memory!

G.Nisha had a better intelligence than Sheela, which was not true in fact.
