A
I wished I had known earlier the fact that I was a low achiever because there was a reason beyond my control.Then I needn’t have worked so hard in my late twenties and early thirties.But I just didn’t know that.I was writing and writing.I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me.
Most people who go through university read at least twice as fast as I do.I can never tell my left from my right.I avoid dialing a telephone if I can help it，because I sometimes have to try three times before getting the number right.I hear that recording “The number you have reached is not in service.” more than any man on the earth.
Despite my weaknesses I view my dyslexia(difficulty in reading) as a gift，not a curse(詛咒)．Many dyslexics are good at right brain，namely abstract thought，and that is what my king of creative writing is.I’m starting with nothing and coming up with something that didn’t exist before.That’s my strong point.I owe my career to Ralph，Salisbury，my writing instructor at the University of Oregon，who looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement and hope.I just carried on and never looked back.I’m also very “visual”．This means nothing in school，but when I write books or scripts，I’m seeing everything in my imagination.I write quickly.I go like the wind and can get up to 15 pages a day.Writing is not the problem.I have no problem downloading；it is inputting where things get messed up.
The real fear I have for dyslexics is not that they have to struggle with messy input，but that they will quit before they finish school.Parents have to create victories whenever they can，whether it is music，sports or the arts.You want your dyslexic child to be able to say，“Yeah，reading is hard.But I have these other things I can do.”

Going on holiday not only makes you feel good while you’re there，but also gain your health benefits for months，new research shows.
Jetting off to exotic destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure，helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress，it found.The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed.Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement(權利) each year to get the benefits，but as many as one in three don’t.
The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand，Peru or the Maldives，with people who stayed at home and continued working.The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period.The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.
The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress，known as the stress-resilience test，improved by 29 percent.There was a 71 percent fall in stress-resilience scores among workers.Tests showed fallen blood glucose(葡萄糖) levels，reduced risk of diabetes(糖尿病)，trimmer waistlines and improved mood and energy levels，with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.

Why Music Important for Children?
Music helps develop children’s language skills
When young children listen to familiar words in songs，their brains are building connections to the sounds they are hearing and the words they are singing.
8
Young children recognize words and sounds long before they talk，sing，or dance.So the more music your children have in their lives，the better they will speak and read.
Music helps develop children’s self-confidence
Music is a wonderful way to meet the many needs of children because music is nonjudgmental.
9
It just is what it is.Listening to different types of music encourages creativity，self-confidence and curiosity.
Music helps develop children’s listening skills
10
Through music，children learn to tell whether the music is loud or soft，up or down，fast or slow and so on.
Music helps improve children’s brain connections
A recent study from the University of California found that music is closely connected to the development of the brain.
11
Music reduces pressure
By listening to music，you’re relaxed and able to pay more attention to the pleasurable effects the music has had than your present pressure.
12
By singing together，it creates a feeling of safety and makes you forget about your pressure.
A．There is no right or wrong.
B．Singing songs develops important pre-reading skills.
C．Pressure can also be reduced by singing songs together.
D．Music encourages the ability to listen and thus to concentrate.
E．If they sing their favorite songs，they can get rid of their pressure.
