The practice f students endlessly cpying letters and sentences frm a blackbard is a thing f the past. With the cming f new technlgies like cmputers and smartphnes, writing by hand has becme smething f a nstalgic (怀旧的) skill. Hwever, while tday`s educatrs are using mre and mre technlgy in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary fr students t be successful—bth in schl and in life.
Virginia Berninger, prfessr f educatinal psychlgy at the University f Washingtn, says it’s imprtant t cntinue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill f writing by hand.
Berninger and her clleagues cnducted a study that lked at the ability f students t cmplete varius writing tasks—bth n a cmputer and by hand. The study, published last year, fund that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrte lnger essays and mre cmplete sentences and had a faster wrd prductin rate.
In a mre recent study, Berninger lked at what rle spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and fund that hw well children spell is tied t hw well they can write. “Spelling makes sme f the thinking parts f the brain active, which helps us access ur vcabulary, wrd meaning and cncepts. It is allwing ur written language t cnnect with ideas,” Berninger said.
“Spelling helps students translate ideas int wrds in their mind first and then t transcribe (转换) thse wrds in the mind int written symbls n paper r keybard and screen,” the study said. “Seeing the wrds in the “mind’s eye” helps children nt nly t turn their ideas int wrds,” says Berninger, “but als t spt (发现) spelling mistakes when they write the wrds dwn and t crrect them ver time.”
“In ur cmputer age, sme peple believe that we dn’t have t teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functinal spelling ability f abut a fifth grade level, they wn’t have the knwledge t chse the crrect spelling amng the ptins given by the cmputer.”
31. What makes writing by hand a thing f the past?
A. The lack f practice in handwriting.
B. The increasing use f blackbards in classrms.
C. The use f new technlgies like cmputers and smartphnes.
D. The belief that handwriting skills are unnecessary fr success.
32. Which f the fllwing best shws the rle f spelling?
A. Spelling imprves ne’s memry f wrds.
B. Spelling ability is clsely related t writing ability.
C. Spelling benefits the translatin frm wrds int ideas.
D. Spelling slws dwn finding exact wrds t express ideas.
33. What des the underlined expressin “mind’s eye” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Windw.B. Spirit.C. Imaginatin.D. Picture.
34. What cnclusin culd be drawn frm the passage?
A. Handwriting still has a place in tday’s classrms.
B. Spell checks can take the place f spelling teaching.
C. Cmputers can help peple with their chice f wrds.

The practice f students endlessly cpying letters and sentences frm a blackbard is a thing f the past. With the cming f new technlgies like cmputers and smartphnes, writing by hand has becme smething f a nstalgic (怀旧的) skill. Hwever, while tday`s educatrs are using mre and mre technlgy in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary fr students t be successful—bth in schl and in life.

In a mre recent study, Berninger lked at what rle spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and fund that hw well children spell is tied t hw well they can write. “Spelling makes sme f the thinking parts f the brain active, which helps us access ur vcabulary, wrd meaning and cncepts. It is allwing ur written language t cnnect with ideas,” Berninger said.
“Spelling helps students translate ideas int wrds in their mind first and then t transcribe (转换) thse wrds in the mind int written symbls n paper r keybard and screen,” the study said. “Seeing the wrds in the “mind’s eye” helps children nt nly t turn their ideas int wrds,” says Berninger, “but als t spt (发现) spelling mistakes when they write the wrds dwn and t crrect them ver time.”
“In ur cmputer age, sme peple believe that we dn’t have t teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functinal spelling ability f abut a fifth grade level, they wn’t have the knwledge t chse the crrect spelling amng the ptins given by the cmputer.”
