17、th the belief that she could do anythingAt a 2019 talk in Malaysia, Jen said that the first team of doctors her adoptive parents consulted said that she would never be able to sit up unassisted. But her parents insisted. They went to a second team of doctors at a different hospital, who told them in

23、s half done. D. Difficulties are but part of everyones life.CWinter arrived and suddenly we had lots of snow on the ground and temperatures that stayed below freezing during the day. The bird feeders were full of mixed seed. We had the snow, the cold temperatures and the feeders all ready and what w
24、e didnt have were the birds.Instead of dozens and dozens of chickadees flying in and out of the feeders, we now saw only three. There were five or six woodpeckers, four bluejays and eleven robins. Despite a heavy snowfall over two days, there were no other birds aroundThe Audubon Society and several
25、 other local bird information sources insisted that nothing was wrong and that because of the warmer than usual fall weather and the unusually abundant sources of natural food, the birds were still finding plenty to eat in the wild. Another explanation they gave was that bird populations naturally f
26、luctuate from year to year and that a feeder that is really “busy” one year may have few birds the next.This is all true, but we have been feeding birds here for many years and it was obvious that there was something very different happening. We had had the normal number of birds the previous winter
27、 and into spring and early summer. I think it was in July when we first noticed that there werent as many birds around as usual. We keep one feeder filled all summer, and we usually have baby birds perched on or around it with the parent birds feeding their babies from the feeder. I love watching th
28、em and their scream is hard to overlook, so I know for sure that there were no baby birds being fed at this feeder.I wonder was it just too cold and wet for the summers baby birds to survive? Did the organized spraying campaigns kill the birds? Or did the birds just go somewhere else looking for bet

More Bird Species Put on the List of Dying Out.DResearch shows that handwriting practice isnt just a useless task your teachers created to annoy you it could actually make kids smarter.According to Health Key, researchers found that kids who practice writing letters develop better recog
32、nition skills than those who just practice seeing and saying them. Hand- writing practice also produces different brain activation patterns than verbal repetition , more similar to patterns seen in adults. Other studies have found that kids who write an essay by hand write more and more quickly than
33、 those who use a computer, and that theyre more likely to write in complete sentences.Katya Feder，a professor at the University of Ottawa School of Rehabilitation , tells Health Key that writing by hand “integrates motor pathways into the brain” and indeed , handwriting engages the body in a way tha
34、t typing doesnt. Each stroke（敲击）of a key feels pretty much the same as any other, but each letter formed by hand is unique, and its no surprise that kids grow more accustomed to the alphabet when theyre asked to write it out. Nor is it shocking that kids write more quickly and abundantly when they d
35、o so with a pen I firststartedwriting longhand（普通书写）as a way tofight writers block, and Ive held onto the technique ever since.

36、ing.Of course, the other benefit of a pen is that its not connected to the Internet, and I wonder if the kids who were composing essays on the computer were simply distracted from their work by the machines many other offerings.

Why does the author disapprove of kids writing on a computer ?A. Their health will be harmed. B. They cant concentrate on their work.C. They can hardly write co

84、born on April 26th, 1785. He spent much of his childhood in France where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States. Well, actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was
85、 often off exploring nature. At first, John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful, and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds and noticing their different behavi
86、ors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didnt have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldnt earn enough money to support his family. So he spent time improving his paintingskills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.
