A
What does family mean to you? Could you capture it in a photograph? If so, our great new competition is for you! All you have to do is take a picture that sums up your sense of family life.
The competition will be judged by the RD (Reader’s Digest) team and award-winning
photographer Barry Marsden. To get your creative juices flowing, here are two of our regular photographers’ tips for taking great pictures.
Pal Hansen
The most important thing is to carry a camera around with you at all times. Use manual (手动的) settings as much as possible. Now that everything is digital I’d also say, “Shoot as much as possible,” because it doesn’t cost anything.
Michelle McCarron
Kids find wonder in the simplest things, so as a photographer it helps to be ready for those moments. The connection across generations is sometimes best captured in a photograph. Frame your subject well. Get close to the action, or your subject, and choose your angle (角度) carefully. A slightly odd angle can make a photo different.
HOW TO ENTER
★ Take a clear photo with either a phone or digital camera. Send it to rdphotocomp@readersdigest. co.uk by 5 pm, August 30, 2014. Please include a brief explanation of who’s in the entry (参赛作品).
★There are two categories — one for adults and one for under-18s.
★In the adult category, the winner will receive £500. The under-18 winner will receive £250 of high-street vouchers (代金券) for a store of their choice.
Rules:

We will use entries in all print and electronic media. We cannot return your entry.
Entry is not open to employees of Vivat Direct Ltd (trading as Reader’s Digest) and all other persons associated with this competition, their immediate families, and relatives living in an employee’s household. The judges’ decision is final.

B
He runs from explosions, drives over waterfalls and jumps from tall buildings. That might sound like Superman, but stuntman (特技演员) Vince Deadrick Jr. is very much human.
As a stuntman in movies and television shows, Deadrick admits he’s no stranger to getting hurt. He has suffered broken bones, bled, gotten knocked out and nearly fallen to his death, but he considers himself lucky to be alive after some of the stunts he has performed.
Deadrick has been a stunt coordinator (协调员) for the Nickelodeon channel for 12 years. He has worked with famous actors, directors and producers, and he has traveled all over the world. But that doesn’t mean his work is easy.
It took him years of hard work to get where he is today. Deadrick’s father, Vince Deadrick Sr., was also a stuntman, but his family connection didn’t give Deadrick a free pass into the movie business. He learned from his dad how to set up cardboard boxes and fall pads for high falls, and he started training on his own once he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps.
As a stunt coordinator, Deadrick takes danger seriously. When he hires a new stunt performer, he looks for a professional.
“You’re only as good as the people you hire,” he says. A stuntman needs to know his own abilities and limitations so he won’t shy away from doing his best but also won’t be such a daredevil (铤而走险的人) that he could hurt himself or others.
When the actors and stuntmen are going to do something dangerous, they need to know they’re trusting the right person. With over 40 years in the business, Deadrick is an expert at making stunts both realistic and safe.
Though he has a large amount of responsibility, Deadrick loves his job.
“I’m in a position where I have to make decisions on risk factors, keeping the actors and stuntmen safe while still making it look impressive. I love my business, and I love the excitement.”
24. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Deadrick is _____.
A. careless B. optimistic C. unfortunate D. generous
25. What do we know about Deadrick’s path to success?
A. He picked up his stunt skills from a stuntman.
B. He made it with hard work and great effort.
C. His dad offered him great encouragement.
D. His dad led him into the movie business.
26. When hiring stuntmen, Deadrick _____.
A. can’t be too careful B. prefers the fearless ones
C. likes those with no limitations D. puts experience above all else
27. What does Deadrick think of his job?
A. Hard and boring. B. Easy and attractive.
C. Skilled but relaxing. D. Challenging but exciting.

Four benefits of writing by hand
Today is National Handwriting Day! Although we don’t write like we used to, here are four ways handwriting is still helpful.
It’s better for learning.
28 That’s because putting ink to paper stimulates (刺激) the brain. One study from 2010 found that the brain areas related to learning “lit up” much more when kids were asked to write words like “spaceship” by hand versus just studying the word closely.
29
Many famous authors prefer writing by hand to the use of a typewriter or computer. Writer Susan Sontag once said that she penned her first drafts (草稿) before typing them up for editing later. She said, “ 30 ” A 2009 study seems to support Sontag’s preference for writing by hand: Elementary school students who wrote essays with a pen not only wrote more than their keyboard-tapping friends, but they also wrote faster and in more complete sentences.
It will prevent you from being distracted.
The computer in front of you is really a distraction. 31 In 2012, scientists even suggested that taking five-minute breaks to browse Tumblr or BuzzFeed could make you a more productive worker. However, when it’s time to work on that essay, have only a pen and paper in front of you.
It keeps your brain sharp as you get older.
32 According to The Wall Street Journal, some physicians say that the act of writing is good exercise for those who want to keep their minds sharp as they age.
A. It makes you a better writer.
B. Writing is good for your brain.
C. Of course, the Internet isn’t all bad.
D. I like the slowness of writing by hand.
E. Try writing by hand at least 20 minutes each day.
F. Many writers have a preference for writing by hand.
G. One of the most effective ways to study is to rewrite your notes by hand.
