26、Nowadays, it is more common for people to express their thoughts in an e-mail or text. In fact, more and more students use technology for written communication in their lives. Even so, research shows that teaching handwriting skills has its benefits. However, are the benefits worth spending valuable classroom time in teaching handwriting skills when students could be learning more about computer keyboarding（键盘输入）? However, are the benefits worth spending valuable classroom time in teaching handwriting skills when students could be learning more about computer keyboarding（键盘输入）?
States across the country have good reasons to require students to learn computer keyboarding skills. For one, students are learning a technology that will help them communicate faster with more people and in many different forms, such as e-mails, websites, blogs, and so on. Also, the better a student's computer keyboarding skills, the greater the chance that student has to become a better writer. Computer tools such as the grammar and spell check make correcting quick and easy, although not 100% accurate（准确的）. With these and many other tools students gain important computer skills. Furthermore, students no longer have to worry about their writing being graded poorly by teachers. All in all, computer keyboarding skills are a step in the right direction.
Still, the advantages of computer keyboarding skills may not be enough to leave handwriting instruction in the dust. Marlena Hamilton, professor of neurology at University of Pennsylvania, did an experiment with her co-workers to study what happens in students brains when writing. They found that many of the areas of the brain light up. These are the same areas that are used to learn to read. They then wondered if the same would be true when students looked at letters on a keyboard. "What we found, "she states, "is that brains are much less involved when we just view letters. When we actually use our hands to make things, the brain works much harder. "
Schools across the nation are looking at the evidence and deciding what to do. William McIntyre, a reading coach at Sunshine Elementary School in Albany, New York, says, "What we have learned from the research is that learning handwriting benefits students educationally. What we also know is that students need to be taught keyboarding skills "Now, it is up to each shool to make a decision.
【1】How many advantages are mentioned in paragraph 2 about learning keyboarding skill?
A．Two
B．Three
C．Four
D．Five
【2】Which statements may Marlens Hamilton agree with?
A．Keyboarding skills are very useful.
B．Keyboarding makes our brain more active.
C．Handwriting is helpful for learning.
D．Handwriting is more difficult than keyboarding.
【3】What's the author's attitude towards learning keyboarding skills?
A．Opposed
B．Objective
C．Supportive
D．Positive
【4】What's the text mainly about?
A．The advantages about learning keyboarding skills.
B．The differences between learning keyboarding skills and handwriting.
C．The importance of teaching handwriting.
D．Different opinions on learning keyboarding skills and handwriting.

28、Darwin was not a bright boy. He was much slower than his younger sister, and he was in many ways a naughty boy. However, at the age of eight he was trying to make out the names of all plants he saw, and he was busy collecting all sorts of things and he even imagined producing coloured roses by watering them with certain coloured liquids. Once he read the book Wonders of the World, he wished to work wonders himself some day.
One summer vacation Darwin became a great collector of beetles (甲虫). At that time he only collected them but made no scientific study of them. One day on tearing off the bark (树皮) he saw some unusual beetles, and seized one in each hand, then he saw a third and new kind, which he didn’t want to lose, so he put the one that he held in his right hand into his mouth. But it sent out some gas, which burned his tongue. He was forced to spit it out. It was lost, so was the third one.
Darwin accepted the offer by the navy (海军) to go on a voyage to explore the Southern Sea in the name of the government on a warship at the age of twenty-two. He was on board for five years. And during the long voyage he collected a great many of facts in Natural Science.

29、Learning Chinese could be one of the most important decisions you have ever made. Chinese is becoming the language to learn in the 21st century. With the world’ s largest population and the rapidly growing middle class, China stands to become the engine(火车头) of the world’s economy in the coming years. This will make learning Chinese very important for people in many industries, or for those who wish to visit China or learn from its culture and history.
There is an ongoing effort to modernize the writing system and standardize the language. An increasing number of people learning Chinese are learning Mandarin, so unless you absolutely need to learn another dialect (such as Cantonese), be sure you are studying Mandarin.
For native English speakers, Chinese is one of the most difficult and most different languages to learn. The vocabulary is wholly unfamiliar and unlike anything we know. In addition, in the Chinese tone system, words are spoken in rising or falling tones, which help to distinguish them. Furthermore, there is the Chinese writing system — a collection of thousands of individual ideograms(表意文字)，or symbols, which represent a word or an idea. These ideograms have no phonetic (语音的) value —that is to say, we can’t tell how the word is pronounced by how it is written. There is a method of presenting written Chinese in a phonetic script called pinyin. If you are learning Chinese, you’ll be working with this pinyin system, but the beauty of the traditional writing system shouldn’t be passed up. All these factors make learning Chinese difficult for us. Yet, for a determined learner, there’s always a way to overcome the difficulties.
【1】Why is learning Chinese becoming more and more important?
A．Chinese engines are very welcome.
B．China has the world’s largest population.
C．There are more and more rich people in China.
D．China is becoming more and more important to the world’s economy.
【2】What can we learn from the text?
A．The author thinks Chinese is as difficult as English.
B．The author is interested in the Chinese language and its culture.
C．Foreign languages can play a great role in industrial development.
D．As long as the pinyin system is learned well, one can learn Chinese well.
【3】What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The difficulties of learning Chinese.
B．The advantages of learning Chinese.
C．The Chinese tone system.
D．The Chinese writing system.
【4】What would be probably written following this text?
A．The sources of Chinese characters.
B．The importance of learning Chinese.
C．The advice on how to learn Chinese.
D．The difficulties of learning other languages.
