36、 by hand. However, multiple studies have shown that this act has many benefits(益處).New brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, confirms the same: choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.“When you write your sh

37、opping list or lecture notes by hand, you simply remember the content better afterwards,” said Audrey van der Meer, author of the study.The study was conducted(實施) using equipment to track and record brain wave activity. The participants included 12 young adults and 12 children. This is the first ti

38、me that children have participated in such a study. Each subject was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a hood(風(fēng)帽) with over 250 electrodes(電極). The sensors(傳感器) in the electrodes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each exam

39、ination took 45 minutes per person.The results showed that the brain both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses are activated by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing th

40、e sound made while writing. These sense experiences build contact between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.Van der Meer believes that the outcomes stress the importance of children being challenged to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to w

41、rite by hand is a bit slower process, but its important for children to go through the tiring phase of learning to write by hand,” she said.The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are beneficial in several ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing

42、 by hand requires control of your fine motor(精細動作) skills and senses. Its important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible,” Van der Meer added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write an article, but you should take notes by hand during a lecture.34. What do we know about

43、the study?A. The study involved 45 participants altogether.B. The participants were divided into two groups to conduct the studyC. All the participants were gathered together for examination.D. The sensors in the electrodes were used to track brain wave activity.35. Why does the brain become more ac

44、tive when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard according to Van der Meer?A. More senses are made active when writing by hand.B. The brain is more used to the skills required to write by hand.C. Writing by hand is easier on the brain.D. Noise made by typing doesnt distract the brain when wr

45、iting by hand.36. How does Van der Meer think handwriting benefits people?A. It allows children to become more patient.B. It increases peoples interest in learning.C. It helps people develop fine motor skills.D. It allows people to write better essays.37. Whats the main purpose of the text?A. To enc

46、ourage the use of handwriting.B. To advise children to start to write early.C. To report on a new research on handwriting.D.
