A research from the National Pen Company in the US says that your handwriting can tell about your personality according to how you space your letters, sign your name, etc.Here are some of the study results:SizeThe size of someone’s handwriting can show the type of persona litythey have. People with small handwriting tend to be shy, careful andhard-working, while outgoing people who love attention will have large handwriting. People who write with a medium size are usually realistic, balanced and work well with others or by oneself.Spacing between wordsPeople who leave large space between words enjoy their freedom and don’t like to be crowded, while people who write words close together can’t stand to be alone.Slant（倾斜）If handwriting slants to the right, the person is open to new experiences and enjoys meeting new people. If handwriting slants to the left, that person needs to keep themselves to themselves. People whose handwriting doesn’t slant in either direction are logical and practical（注重逻辑的和实际的）.47.

With so many hot destinations (目的地) around the globe,“where should I go?” can be difficult to answer. According to Lonely Planet,though, Brazil is a fine choice —on Oct 29, the travel guide named thatcountry the top one to visit in 2014.“As if the fantastic beaches and rainforests（雨林）didn’t already make a travel spotlight, Brazil will hold two of the greatest sporting events in the world: the 2014 FIFAWorld Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics.” explained Lonely Planet.Brazil is the largest country in South America. When talking about Brazil, the first thing that comes to your mind might be the Amazon jungle, which is home to a great number of plants and animals. But this is not the only thing that Brazilians take pride in.The colors green and yellow might remind people more of Brazil’s soccer team than its national flag. Soccer is more than a sport in Brazil; it’s a way of life.Samba, the country’s most traditional dance, is another feature of Brazil.

This is the world’s first ”bookless” library.“Our library is stored in the cloud, so you don’t have to get a book.” Laura Cole from Biblio Tech told CNN. Right now the library has 10,000 e-books and is trying to add more.The idea of a bookless library no longer seems so new since e-books have been around for quite some time. At the end of 2012,23% of Americans aged 16 and older read e-books, up from 16% the year before. At the same time, the number of Americans who read a paper book fell from 72% to 67%.“Not all libraries are going to be like us,” Nelson Wolff, a l ocal official(官员) said , “But we sure hope it’s going to drive them to do more.The world is changing, and libraries can’t stay the same if they want to be more helpful.”Also, Biblio Tech is especially convenient to people in this low-income(低收入的)neighb orhood because 40% of the families don’t have a computer.57.
