in the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. but studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10-15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day which really for handwriting is pretty much.many adults remember learning that way by copying letters over and over again. todays thinking is that short periods of practice are better. many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. after all, that is why we write.handwriting involves two skills. one is legibility(清楚易認(rèn)), which means forming the letters so they can be read. the other is fluency writing without having to think about it. fluency continues to develop up until high school.but not everyone masters these skills. teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.but steve graham at vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. american children traditionally first learn to print(用印刷體寫), and then to write in cursive(草體字), which connects the letters. but guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the college board, which administers the sat college admission test. more than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.58. we can learn _ from paragraph 1.a. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job b. most teachers prefer to teach handwriting c. teachers spend little time in teaching handwritingd. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely59. which of the following is wrong for traditional handwriting in the usa? a. the students are taught by practicing a long period. b. to write in cursive is taught first. c. handwriting includes two skills. d. the letters are repeated many times.60. the best title for the passage is _.a. how to improve handwriting in school b. handwriting lessons are on the way outc. handwriting involves two skills d. right or wrong: the death of handwriting 61. the authors attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is_. a. negative b. optimistic c. critical(批評(píng)的) d. objective(客觀的)dwhether were 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. but a growing body of research is raising questions about how a childs lie is different from an adults lie, and how the way we deceivechanges as we grow.“parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says dr. lee, a professor at the university of toronto and director of the institute of child study. he has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. the fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. dr. lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the childs back. whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.for young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. when the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. at age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didnt. by 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.researchers have found that its kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. thats because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. the ability to lie and lie successfully is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.62.whats the purpose of children telling lies?a. to help their friends out.b. to get rid of trouble.c. to get attention from others.d. to create a popular image.63.the underlined word “deceive” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by “”.a. handle troubles b. tell lies c. raise questions d. do research64.from the second paragraph we can know that.a. which factors can reduce lyingb. why some lie more than othersc.
