2．I prefer to go slowly when drive in the mountains of my home，because the forest scenery is beautiful no matter what the season is .This morning I was driving slower than usual because an early March snow had made the roads slippery Going up a mountain road，I had to slow down as I rounded a sharp.jye.ai curve .That was when I saw a strong and handsome male deer standing in the middle of the road .I came a full stop and for a few seconds we just looked at each other.His eyes seemed wise and calm .Finally，he nodded his head at me I nodded in return and waved with my hand for him to go on.He then jumped and ran across the road.jye.ai the hill.jye.ai back into the woods.I drove on smiling at the magic of this moment and thanked that.
I had been going slowly enough not to hit this beautiful creature.
Most of us rush through this life not knowing what we are missing.We hardly get to enjoy what each day brings us.Wouldn't it be better to go slowly through our days here？Life is meant to be savored Moments are meant to be valued.Days are meant to be lived in love and joy.
The next time you find yourself going too fast，slow down.Take the time to watch the sunrise.Take the time to smile，laugh and sing Take the time to read and relax.Take the time to live your life with love.If you do，your life will be so much better and more beautiful.And you might even end up not hitting deer on your way home.

3．Sans Forgetica Do you have trouble remembering things you've read？Scientists at RMIT University in Australia have come up with a new font that can help you remember by making words harder to read.
Fonts are used to make letters look a certain way.jye.ai computers or in books.If you re writing.a report，you can give a different look to the words in your report by choosing a different font.For example，you can make them look like they might look in a book.jye.ai you can make them look like handwriting.
Scientists have discovered that people often remembered things better if it was a little bit harder for them to read.The scientists learned that if you are reading words that are difficult to recognize，your brain has to work a little bit harder to memorize the words that your eyes are seeing.This extra work helps your brain remember the words better.
Now scientists at RMIT in Australia have taken this idea and created a font just for remembering things.The font，called "Sans Forgetica"，is a little bit harder to read，on purpose.
There are two main things that make the font harder to read and easier to remember.Probably the most obvious one is that all of the letters have gaps in them.When the letters have these gaps，the brain has to fill in the gaps to recognize them.This makes readers slow down and pay attention to what they read.
The other surprising thing about Sans Foryetica is that it slants in different direction.You may be used to seeing words that slant toward the right But Stephen
Banham，who helped create Sans Forgetica says，"Sans Forgetica，which slant in a different direction，are easier to be memorized"
When someone creates a new font，they often sell it.But RMIT is giving away their font，hoping that it will help students and other people who need to remember things.

A.Reading words with more letters exercises brains.
B.Werking hard to recognize words improves memory.
C.The font with gaps in letters helps people read quickly.
D.People like to read things that are little hard for them.
（4）What makes it more difficult for the brain to read Sans Forgetica？
