9、y new invention. She taught herself how to cut paper silhouettes (剪影), of people, animals, and objects.

10、r wanted to be an actress, but her skill at making silhouettes drew the attention of the German film industry. Before 1927, films were silent. To help the audience understand the film, title cards with printed text appeared during the film between scenes. Reiniger helped create title cards for films
11、, using her silhouettes. In 1918, she was asked to provide stop-motion animation(定格动画), in which objects are photographed (拍摄) in a series of slightly different positions and then replayed at high speed so that the objects appear to move on their own. It was for wooden rats(老鼠) in the movie The Pied
12、 Piper of Hamelin. It was a breakthrough that led to her own films, first short films and then, in 1926, The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the first full-length animated film. Although Reiniger once described herself as a primitive(原始的) caveman artist, her work is not simple. She carefully cut bits o

She made more than 60 films, around 40 of which still survive, all cut by her own hands. Most were based on timeless fairy tales, like Cinderella

These studies show that girls typically read more fre
18、quently than boys, and have a more positive attitude towards reading. There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant adva
19、ntage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents. So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys reading? To improve boys reading performance, parents and educators
20、 may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called boy-friendly books that boys supposedly prefer. These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction. But this belief i
21、s not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read nonfiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate fast
22、er language learning and higher language ability. Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books.

23、suitable reading material, have regular discussion about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests. Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to
24、 higher grades they often have less access to libraries during lessons. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading. In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote read
25、ing as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model.

Its this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.

31、cording to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would bum walking, although fewer than running, which would probably bum about 1,000 or more calories per hour. However, race wa
32、lking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step. As a result
33、, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runners knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sports strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyo
