21、Does handwriting matter (要紧)? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare (宣布) handwriting is not important. New evidence (证据) shows that the link (联系) between handwriting and educational development is deep.

Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters—but how.

A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children did not learn to read and write. They were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the picture on a page but with a dotted outline (虚线), draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner (扫描) and showed them the picture again.

It was found that when children drew a picture freehand (徒手画) without a dotted outline or a computer, the activities in three areas of the brain increased (增加). These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. Children chose the other two ways and they showed no such result. Dr. James attributes (归咎于) the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.

It’s time for educators to change their minds and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.

A．Handwriting is not very important to children.

B．Handwriting has nothing to do with educational development.

C．Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.

D．Handwriting actually matters at present.

【2】What does “that view” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．How we write is as important as what we write.

B．Children create ideas and remember information.

C．A group of students should know what to write.

D．Children read quickly when they write by hand.

【3】Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment (实验)?

A．Copy the picture on a page but with a dotted outline.

B．Draw the picture on a place of white paper.

C．Put a brain scanner and show the picture again.

D．Type the picture on a computer.

【4】According to the passage, the writer ________ handwriting.

A．agrees to give up

B．refuses to give up

C．doesn’t care about

24、My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around our neighbourhood. Two dog walkers passed by and one of them said, “Never seen that dog around here before.”

We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling (蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar. There was a phone number on it, but no one answered.

The dog was really thin. It didn’t have many teeth left.

Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with me. Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there. So, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend ate its food.

Finally we got it home. We gave it a blanket, more food and wondered what to do next.

After trying for many times, we got a reply from the number. A lady came. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. It was very old and should probably be put to sleep, but the lady just couldn’t bring herself to do it. So, Tara was safely returned home.

Here is the truth of the story:

In fact, Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I still didn’t find it possible. I was going to turn and go when an old, weak dog walked between us and collapsed. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.

We did help it. And here am I writing the story in my own home. In the song “Love Is Not a Fight”, Warren Barfield talks about marriage. He sings, “And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door.”

Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs.

【2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that ________.

A．Julie bought some food for the dog

B．the writer had his own pet dog

C．the dog didn’t go with the writer

C．found out that its owner was a lady

D．found it hard to get to sleep

【4】The underlined part “our problem” in the passage refers to the fact that ________.
