9、rhoods gave Gorman a window to the world. Her like for poetry dates at least back to the third grade when her teacher read Ray Bradburys Dandelion Wine to the class.Gorman is a lot better at it now, but still working on her confidence as a public speaker. “Until two or maybe three years ago, I could
10、nt say the letter r. Even to this day sometimes I struggle with it. Id want to say girls can change the world, but I can not say so many letters in that statement, so Id say things like young women can shape the globe.”For Gorman, writing became a cure. “I used writing as a form of self expression t

So the more I recited out loud, the more I was able to teach myself how to pronounce these letters which for so long had been my greatest impediment.” Gorman said she also used a song from Mirandas Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical Hamilton to help with her speaking.
12、 “But I dont look at my disability as a weakness,” said Gorman. “Its made me the performer that I am and the storyteller that I strive to be.”In September, Gorman will release Change Sings, the first of two childrens books.

15、htful and ambitious.It is the stock response to a parent struggling with a crying baby or a bad-tempered teenager: “Treasure every moment because they grow up so fast.” Now researchers have found there may be something in the old saying. Watching children grow up really does seem to make time fly. S
16、cientists have found that parents feel time passing more quickly than non-parents.The findings could be due to the fact that children change fast. “Over ten years, children go through dramatic changes not only in their physical appearance, but also in their understanding abilities and their status,
17、” the researchers said. The results could also be a consequence of parents spending a large amount of their time on their children, they said, even though they found no difference in the time pressures recorded by parents compared with non-parents in the study.For the study, published in the journal
18、 Timing & Time Perception (感知), the researchers asked 431 people aged from 20 to 59 to fill in a subjective time questionnaire, a tool used by psychologists to measure time perception. They were asked: “How fast did the last ten years pass for you?” An answer of very slowly gave a score of-2; slowly
19、 was-I; neither fast nor slow was 0; fast was I and very fast scored 2. So the higher the score, the faster they felt time had passed. The parents had an average score of I. 22, compared with 0. 76 for the non-parents.Participants were also asked how quickly the last year, month and week had passed,
20、 but there were no differences between the groups for these shorter intervals (间隔). Previous studies have suggested that time also seems to speed up when we get older. Research published in 2019 by Duke University in North Carolina suggests this could be due to physical changes in our bodies, with a
21、 slowdown in image processing speeding up our perception of time passing.Days that seemed to last forever in our youth were “not due to experiences being much deeper or meaningful”, the researcher Adrian Bejan said, “but due to the fact that they were being processed rapidly.”8What probably makes pa
