Handwriting Brings Benefits
In a digital age, we almst never write things by hand. Hwever, many studies have shwn that this act has many benefits.
New brain research, led by researchers at Nrwegian University f Science and Technlgy, prves the same: chsing handwriting ver using a keybard results in better learning and memry.
“When yu write yur shpping list r lecture ntes by hand, yu simply remember the cntent (内容) better afterwards,” said Audrey van der Meer, authr f the study.
The study used sme equipment t recrd brain wave (波) activity. The participants (参与者) included 12 yung adults and 12 children. This is the first time that children have participated in such a study. Each subject was asked t write by hand and type n a keybard while wearing a hd (风帽) with ver 250 electrdes (电极). The sensrs (传感器) in the electrdes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examinatin tk 45 minutes per persn.
The results shwed that the brain in bth yung adults and children is much mre active when writing by hand than when typing n a keybard. Accrding t Van der Meer, plenty f senses are activated by pressing a pen n paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sund made while writing. These sense experiences build tuch between different parts f the brain, pening the brain up fr learning.
Vander Meer believes that the utcmes stress the imprtance f children being challenged t draw and write at an early age, especially at schl. “Learning t write by hand is a bit slwer prcess, but it’s imprtant fr children t g thrugh the tiring phrase f learning t write by hand,” she said.
The hand mvements used t frm the shapes f letters are beneficial in several ways. “If yu use a keybard, yu use the same mvement fr each letter. Writing by hand requires cntrl f yur fine mtr (精细动作) skills and senses. It’s imprtant t put the brain in a learning state as ften as pssible,” Van der Meer added. Fr example, yu might use a keybard t write an essay, but yu shuld take ntes by hand during a lecture.
5．What d we knw abut the study?
A．The study invlved 250 participants altgether.
B．Typing n a keybard helps yu remember a lt f things.
C．All the participants have t take a 45-minute examinatin.
D．Learning t write by hand is a bit difficult but it is a fast prcess.
6．Why des the brain becme mre active when writing by hand accrding t Van der Meer?
A．Writing by hand is easier n the brain. B．Mre senses are made active when writing by hand.
C．Writing by hand requires the same skills and senses.D．Typing n a keybard desn't put the brain in a learning state.
7．Hw des Van der Meer think handwriting benefits peple?
A．It allws peple t write better essays.B．It increases peple’s interest in learning.
C．It helps peple develp fine mtr skills.D．It allws children t becme mre patient.

Everyne is afraid f making a mistake in their life. Hw d yu feel when yu make a mistake? N ne likes making mistakes. It ften makes yu feel unhappy and even sad. Hwever, that feeling yu get after making a mistake is yur brain adjusting (调整) and learning t help yu succeed in the future. Yu can’t learn hw t ride a bike withut falling ff it, r make friends withut smetimes saying things yu regret. Getting things wrng helps us adjust urselves s we d things differently.
Mistakes are part f learning. Accepting and learning frm ur mistakes gives us the curage t try harder next time.

In the ancient Chinese culture, peple believed health came frm a balance between the yin and yang life frces. This balance was called qi. When peple became sick, they must have an imbalance in the frces. Qi flwed thrugh pathways in the bdy, which were accessible by certain pints. Trained men and wmen wuld treat illnesses by inserting very thin needles int varius pints in a patient’s bdy. These needles were suppsed t re-balance the patient’s energy flw and heal an illness. This treatment was knwn as acupuncture.
Acupuncture is still used tday, and many peple have fund relief frm it. It is mainly used t treat pain, especially frm headaches, backaches, muscle aches, and arthritis. Sme practitiners use it t help with discmfrt that cmes frm majr illnesses such as cancer.
There may be between 360 and 2,000 acupuncture pints n the human bdy. An acupuncturist must knw which pints are assciated with different areas f the bdy. After discussing a patient’s issues, the acupuncturist will skillfully insert thin needles int different pints t reduce the patient’s pain. There is a slight sting (针刺) when the needles g in but beynd that, acupuncture is really painless. The needles stay in fr between 5 and 30 minutes.

Everyne wants t be well-liked. As humans, we are brn with the need t be valued and liked by thers. Being part f a grup has been necessary in a lt f ways. Cnnectin is a basic human need.
Many peple feel as thugh they have t be a certain way t be well-liked. They think thers will like them mre if they put their best selves frward, dn’t make mistakes, and always knw the right thing t say. Hwever, sme surprising science may be putting all this in questin.
The Pratfall Effect
It turns ut that peple wh never make mistakes are actually less likeable. Accrding t an experiment by Ellit Arnsn in the 1960s, peple wh made a small blunder, such as drpping cffee ver their shirt, were cnsidered mre likeable than thse wh didn’t. This was nly true fr peple wh were cnsidered cmpetent (有能力的) in the first place, thugh. This phenmenn (现象) was termed the Pratfall Effect.
The Pratfall Effect shws that it’s nt nly kay t make mistakes, but it can actually be helpful t us. Vulnerability (weakness) is endearing (讨人喜欢的). It helps us frm cnnectins with thers. When we understand where smene is cming frm an cnnectin with them, we develp a deep emtinal bnd and like them mre.
Apply this t yur wn life
Yu can use this infrmatin t yur advantage. Firstly, it’s imprtant t knw likeability depends n cntext. What smene finds endearing in ne situatin may nt wrk in anther, and different peple might find different qualities mre likeable. Smetimes the things we dislike the mst abut urselves are the mst endearing t thers. The same can be true fr the ppsite. Just be yur true self and peple will find what they lve mst abut yu.
Secndly, vulnerability is a gd thing. Sharing the mst inner, real parts f yurselves can create meaningful cnnectins. Pretending (假装) t be perfect is nt smething that peple find endearing. But pening up is smething that peple can easily cnnect with.
Likeability is nt as straightfrward as yu might think. What yu think makes yu mre likeable might actually make yu less likeable. Stp pretending yu never make mistakes. It’s the best path t a true and meaningful human cnnectin.
80．What can we learn frm the Pratfall Effect?
A．Life experience can be enriched by making mistakes.
B．The fear f making mistakes makes peple mre careful.
C．Peple wh make small mistakes may turn ut t be mre likeable.

B．It wrks as a smart way t express ur pinins.
C．It makes ther peple feel better abut themselves.
D．It helps us frm meaningful cnnectins with thers.

When we are children, the hlidays seem t last frever. But later, we may find that time just seems t fly by. Why des time seem t pass faster as we get lder?
Accrding t the Daily Mail, ur brains degrade as we get lder. That decreases the amunt f infrmatin we can deal with in a single day. “The human mind senses time changing when the perceived (感知到的) images change,” Adrian Bejan frm Duke University, the US, tld the Daily Mail. “The present is different frm the past because the mental viewing (思想观念) has changed, nt because smebdy’s clck rings.”
Infants (幼儿), fr example, mve their eyes much mre ften than adults (成年人) because they’re prcessing (处理) images at a faster rate. They deal with a large amunt f infrmatin and d many things in a single day. This makes them feel like a single day lasts fr a lng time. Hwever, as peple get lder, fewer images are prcessed in the same amunt f time. Therefre, lder peple receive less infrmatin during a day than yunger peple. This causes things t seem as thugh they were happening mre quickly.
Apart frm the degradatin f ur brains, sme psychlgical (心理的；心理学的) reasns als make us experience time differently.
Peple may measure (测量) time by the number f memrable (值得纪念的) events that can be recalled (回忆) within a certain perid. When we think abut ur yuth (青春), we may remember a life packed with first-time activities, fr example, ur first-time traveling withut ur parents, r ur first date. We experienced these events s vividly that time then seemed t have passed very slwly. Accrding t David Eagleman f the Baylr Cllege f Medicine in the US, recalling these memries makes us feel like they tk frever.
Many adults find life is rutine and smetimes dull. Fr this reasn, when they lk back, they might feel like there are nt many exciting things t remember. Therefre, time seems t be mving faster t them.
124．What des the underlined wrd “degrade” mean?
A．Becme better.B．Becme wrse.C．Remain the same.D．Becme smaller.
125．Hw d peple sense time changing accrding t Adrian Bejan?
A．It depends n hw their clcks change.
B．It depends n hw the views arund them change.
C．It depends n hw ften they mve their eyes.
D．It depends n hw the images they perceived change.
126．What is the purpse f the fifth paragraph?
A．T tell us that first-time activities are vivid and memrable.
B．T tell us that first-time events can make time pass slwly.
C．T tell us that psychlgical reasns make peple sense time differently.
D．T tell us that peple shuld measure time by the number f memrable events.
127．Why des time seem t pass faster as we get lder?
A．Because ur life will becme rutine and dull when we grw lder.
B．Because the degradatin f ur brains will make it slwer t recall memries.
C．Because we’ll deal with less infrmatin in the same amunt f time.
D．Because we wn’t have first-time activities when we grw lder.

When we think f the Olympic, a few things cme t mind immediately: the sprtsmen and sprtswmen marching (齐步走) in during the pening ceremnies (开幕式), prudly carrying their cuntry’s flag; the exciting awarding (颁发) f gld, silver and brnze (铜牌) medals t winners; the trch (火炬) and ther unfrgettable Olympic mments. Yet there is n greater symbl fr the Olympics than the Olympic rings (环).
Have yu ever wndered abut the five rings used t symblize the Olympics and what its clrs may mean? Here’s an inside lk at what the Olympic rings symblize and their histry.
The Olympic rings are a symbl nearly as ld as the Games themselves. The first Olympics was held in 1896. Pierre de Cubertin, a French histrian and the funder f the Internatinal Olympic Cmmittee (国际奥委会), created the rings in 1913. He drew the clured rings at the tp f a letter he had written.
The five rings stand fr the unin (联合) f five parts f the wrld - Eurpe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and America. And accrding t the IOC, “the Olympic symbl shws the activity f the Olympic Mvement (运动) and the meeting f sprtsmen and sprtswmen frm all ver the wrld at the Olympic Games.” In additin, the five rings must be the same in size. This is meant t shw the idea that all f the wrld’s cntinents (大洲) are equal (相等的) at the Games.
Traditinally, the Olympic rings appear in five different clurs n a white backgrund. The clurs f the rings frm left t right are blue, yellw, black, green and red. Unlike the ppular belief, the five clurs f the Olympic rings d nt directly stand fr individual (个别的) cntinent. Instead, the five, clurs, alng with white, were chsen because at least ne f them appeared n all the natinal flags at the time when Cubertin created the design (设计).
Since 1912, many mre cuntries have taken part in the Olympic Games. After mre than a century, the Olympic rings remain a pwerful symbl f the event.

Smetimes, kids invent things when they see a prblem that they think they can slve. Becky Schreder invented smething that wrked like a lighted clipbard(带夹写字板) when she was nly ten. She did hmewrk in the family car in the early evening and she wanted t find a way t see and write in the dark.

Sme peple are wrried that wearing masks will have a bad effect n children’s ability t learn language and scialize. Even parents ften wrry abut hw a schl year withut smiles might negatively(消极地) influence their children.
These wrries are understandable, but accrding t Dr. Danvitch, a research psychlgist, wh studies the cgnitive(认知的) and scial develpment f children, wearing a mask at schl culd imprve certain scial and cgnitive skills, helping t strengthen abilities like self-cntrl and attentin. Take language learning as an example. It’s true that masks cver ur muths and that seeing muth shape and mvement helps babies learn language. But learning hw t cmmunicate invlves a lt mre than muths. Lking at eyes is at least as imprtant as lking at muths t understand the peple yu are lking at and what they are trying t express. Children als make use f ther signs t figure ut what new wrds mean and what ther peple are thinking. A classrm full f peple wearing masks is a great chance fr children t practice paying attentin t thse signs, such as a classmate’s tne f vice r a teacher’s bdy language.
Wearing a mask can als help teach children t pay mre attentin t their wn bdies and physical behavirs. Keeping a mask n ver the curse f a schl day invlves the kind f self-cntrl that many children find challenging. Needless t say, children will nt always be perfect at keeping their masks n, but they have t be mindful f when their masks are slipping dwn r when it is OK t take them ff. The research n self-cntrl suggests that children wh master the skills needed t keep their masks n will grw up t be better at achieving their lng-term gals.
Perhaps mst imprtantly, wearing masks during a pandemic(流行病) is a chance fr children t practice caring fr their cmmunity. A recent study shws that children understand the spread f illness better than ever. Wearing a mask gives yung children the ability t d smething t help prtect ther peple. Fr lder children, mask-wearing is a way t teach them abut duty and sacrifice(牺牲). They believe that it feels gd t make sacrifices fr peple in need. Stressing that the discmfrt and incnvenience f mask-wearing are frms f caring and public service might encurage children t address ther scial prblems in their lives.
In fact, hw children feel abut wearing masks at schl, and hw much they benefit frm wearing them, are ging t depend n hw the parents, teachers and caregivers arund them present the tpic. Masks are hpefully nt here t stay, but while they are still necessary, we shuld make the mst f them.

On Nv 8, Wang Yaping, a female taiknaut f Shenzhu XIII missin, became China’s first and the wrld’s 16th female space walker. The expected six-mnth jurney in space has left many curius abut the differences between male and female astrnauts, especially in terms f perfrming extravehicular (舱外的) activities (EVAs). Despite (即使) physical challenges, female astrnauts have unique (独一无二的) advantages.
Understanding between astrnauts is very imprtant fr carrying ut EVAs, which is based n excellent cmmunicatin skills. Wmen are superir (更好的) in cmmunicatin and language expressin, and this helps female astrnauts d extravehicular activities, accrding t Yang Yuguang, vice chair f Space Transprtatin Cmmittee f the Internatinal Astrnautical Federatin.
Men and wmen are different in bdy size, which als gives wmen unique advantages fr spacewalks. “Their generally smaller size is an advantage, as wmen will be able t cntrl their weight better and perfrm a wider variety f tasks,” Pang tld China Daily.
Wmen in general weigh less, eat less fd, cnsume less xygen (氧气), and therefre required less fuel (燃料) t get int space. A taiknaut must weigh between 55 kilgrams and 70 kilgrams t fit in the cabin f spacecraft and cnsume less fuel, accrding t CGIN.
A different bdy shape requires a different spacesuit. A tailr-made spacesuit was prepared fr Wang’s extravehicular activities, which was lighter than the males’. Designers ptimized the pattern f this spacesuit in the lwer limb (下肢) area t make it mre suitable fr astrnauts with slimmer figures.
Accrding t Pang, many studies have fund that female astrnauts are mre suitable fr space missins, and have advantages ver male astrnauts in qualities such as attentin t detail and thinking cmprehensively (全面地).
Men tend t excel in shrter-term, gal-riented (目标导向的) situatins while wmen are better in lnger-term habitatin-type (居住类) circumstances, accrding t Natinal Gegraphic.
Wmen’s participatin in EVAs is an integral (不可缺少的) part f space missins, and we are witnessing histry thanks t Wang’s bravery, accrding t Yang.
