I usually took a bus to school. I found that most passengers were silent and never had a conversation with anyone else.
About a year ago, an old man got on the bus and said loudly to the driver, “Good morning!”Most people looked up, wondering why, and the bus driver didn't take it seriously and just replied in a cold voice, “Mm - hmm”The next day the man got on and again he said in a loud voice, “Good morning!”to the driver. Another “Mm - hmm”. By the fifth day, the driver finally answered him with a little happy “Good morning!”Then the man said, “My name is Benny”The driver told the man that he was Sam.
That was the first time any of us had heard the driver's name and soon people began to talk to each other and say hello to Sam and Benny. Soon Benny spread his happy “Good morning!”to the whole bus. Within a few days, his “Good morning!”was returned by a lot of “Good mornings”and the whole bus seemed to be friendlier. People got to know each other.
“Benny truly showed friendship among us with a simple ‘Good morning!’,”I thought.
Then suddenly, Benny stopped showing up. Everyone began to ask about Benny, wondering what happened to him. No one knew what to do and the bus got quiet again. So, last week, I started to act like Benny and say “Good morning!”to everyone and the whole bus cheered up again. Hopefully, Benny could come back to see his “Good morning!”mattered a lot.
Sometimes we see some strangers so many times that we know their faces well, but we never even say hello to them. By saying hello, friendship starts to grow, and sunshine comes to the world around us, and love spreads over the community we are in. Why not start a “hello”today?

Do you like writing by hand or with a keyboard?
A new brain research, led by researchers at Norwegian University of Science and Technology. shows that choosing handwriting instead of using a keyboard results in better learning andmemory.
“When you write your shopping list or class notes by hand, you simply remember what youwrote better later, ” said Audrey van der Meer, who did the study.
12 young grown- ups and 12 children took part in the study. This is the first time that childrenhave taken part in such a study. Special machines were used to follow and record brain wave(电波)activity. Each person wore a special cap with over 250 electrodes(电极) on the head, and wasasked to write by hand and use a keyboard. The sensors(传感器) in the electrodes picked up theactivity that took place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes for each person.
The results showed that the brain in both young grown- ups and children is much more activewhen writing by hand than when using a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of sensesbecome active by holding a pen and pushing it down on paper, seeing the letters written andhearing the sound made while writing.Thesebuild connection between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.
Van der Meer believes that the results call attention to the importance of children being askedto draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to write by hand is a bit slowercourse, but it's important for children to experience the tiring step of learning to write by hand,”she said.
The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are helpful in several ways. “If youuse a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control ofyour fine motor(精细动作) skills and senses. It's important to put the brain in a learning conditionas often as possible,” Van der Meer added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write anarticle, but you should take notes by hand during aclass.
