Nowadays,handwritingseemstobecomelessnecessary,foryoungchildrenlearntotapandtouchscreens
beforetheyhaveevenlearnedtopickupapencilortietheirshoelaces.Mostofourwrittencommunicationisdone
throughtextingonmobilephonesortypingonakeyboard.Andvoicerecognitionsoftwareisbecomingmoreand
moreadvanced 一makingevenkeyboardunnecessary!
So,arehandwritingskillsimportanttoyourchild?Actually,handwritingisanexerciseineye-hand
coordination(手眼协调),animportantpartofvisual-motor(视觉运动)skills,whichareconnectedwith
achievementsinstudy.Scientistsfoundthatdevelopingfinevisual-motorskillsinearlychildhoodcanleadtonot
onlywritingsuccess,butbetterperformanceinreadingandmathinelementaryschool.Itwasalsofoundthatkids
whofailtowriteneatlyandefficientlyareoftenaccusedofbeinglazy,andthismayaffecttheirbehaviorandself-
worth.Moreover,astudyshowedthatwhenagroupofchildrenwereaskedtocomeupwithideasforanarticle,
theoneswithbetterhandwritingweremoreactiveandhadquickerminds.Insomeways,handwritinghelpstheir
brainsˈdevelopment.
Thefirstattemptsatwritingcanbechallengingforpre-schoolchildren--whosefinemotor(精细动作)skills
arenotyetfullydeveloped.Butsomeskillstoprepareforhandwritingaresimpletobuildathomeandin
preschool.Parentsshouldprovidelotsofopportunitiesforkidstocopyanddrawshapesandsimplepicturesin
earlychildhoodbeforelettersareintroduced.Letyourchildcopyyourshapesinsand,orwithchalkonaboard
beforetryingtodrawtheshapesontheirown.Encourageyourchildtospendlesstimeonelectronicdevicesand
moretimeonactivitiestoimproveeye-handcoordination.
Letˈsfaceit-technologyiscertaintocontinuedevelopingandmoreresearchisneededtofindthebestways
toteachhandwritingtoyoungchildren.But,thereˈsplentyofevidencethatthehandwritingpracticecanprovide
youngchildrenwithagoodstartindevelopingskillsneededforahealthyandsuccessfuljourneyinschool.
8. AccordingtoParagraph1,handwritingis________.
A.easytolearnonatouchscreen
B.usedlessforcommunicationnow
C.moredifficultthantypewriting
D.totallyreplacedbyvoicerecognitionsoftware
9. Howdoestheauthorexplainthebenefitsofhandwritingˈ?
A.Byshowingsomeresearchfindings.
B.Bygivingexamplesofthekidsaroundhim.
C.Bygivingsomenewsreportsonhandwriting.
D.Byprovidingevidenceaboutpupilswithgoodgrades.
10. Whatdoestheauthorsuggestparentsdo?
A.Keepyoungchildrenawayfromelectronicdevices.
B.Teachpre-schoolchildrentowriteletterswithchalk.
C.Helpchildrengetreadyforhandwritingbeforeschool.
D.Encouragechildrentofacewritingchallengesbravely.
11. Whatcanbethebesttitleforthetext?
A.Doespoorhandwritingreallymeanbeinglazy?
B.Shouldhandwritingbetakenseriouslyinchildrenˈsgrowth?
C.Howcanhandwritingaffectchildrenˈsself-confidence?
D.Shouldhomeworkbedonethroughhandwritingortypewriting?

ThereisapopularsayingintheEnglishlanguage:“Sticksandstonesmaybreakmybones,butwordswill
neverhurtme.”Well,thatisnottrue.Unkindwords,name-callingoreventheso-called"thesilenttreatment"can
hurtchildrenasmuchasbeingphysicallyhit,sometimesevenmoreso.
Arecentstudyofmiddleschoolchildrenshowedthatverbal(言语的)abusebyotherchildrencanharm
developmentinthebrain.ThestudywasaprojectofresearchersatHarvardMedicalSchoolinMassachusetts.
ResearcherMartinTeicherandhisteamstudiedyoungadults,aged18to25.Theseyoungmenandwomenhadnot
everbeentreatedinacruelorviolentwaybytheirparents.Theresearchersaskedtheyoungpeopletoratetheir
childhoodexposuretoverbalabusefrombothparentsandotherchildren.Thentheresearchersperformedimaging
testsonthebrainsofthesubjects.
Theimagesshowedthatthepeoplewhoreportedsufferingverbalabusefrompeersinmiddleschoolhad
underdevelopedconnectionsbetweentheleftandrightsideofthebrain.Thetwosidesofthebrainareconnected
byalargebundleofconnectingfiberscalledthecorpuscallosum(胼胝体).Thiswastheareathatwas
underdeveloped.
Themiddleschoolyearsareatimewhenthesebrainconnectionsaredeveloping.So,unkind,hurtful
commentsfromchildrenoradultsduringthisperiodhavethebiggesteffect.Theresearcherstestedthementaland
emotionalconditionofalltheyoungpeopleinthestudy.Thetestsshowedthatthissamegroupofpeoplehad
higherlevelsoffear,depression,angeranddrugabusethanothersinthestudy.
TheresearcherspublishedtheirfindingsonlineontheAmericanJournalofPsychiatryˈswebsite.
Parentscannotcontrolwhatotherpeoplesaytotheirchildren,buttheycanpreparetheirchildren.
12. Whydoestheauthorusethepopularsayingatthebeginning?
A.Toshowthepowerofwords. B.Tointroduceanoppositeview.
C.Toprovetheauthorˈsargument. D.Toshowancientpeopleˈswisdom.
13. Whatdidthesubjectshaveincommon?
A.Theywerehurtbyunkindwords.
B.Theyperformedpoorlyinimagingtests.
C.Theyhadtheirbrainslightlydamaged.
D.Theyexperiencednophysicalabuseathome.
