D yu like writing by hand r with a keybard? A new brain study at Nrwegian University f Science and Technlgy shws that chsing handwriting instead f using a keybard results in better learning and memry.
“When yu write yur shpping list r class ntes by hand, yu simply remember what yu wrte better later,” said Audrey van der Meer, wh did the study.
12 yung grwn-ups and 12 children tk part in the study. Special machines were used t fllw and recrd brain wave activities. Each persn wre a special cap with ver 250 electrdes (极) n the head, and was asked t write by hand and use a keybard. The sensrs in the electrdes picked up the activities that tk place in the brain. Each examinatin tk 45 minutes fr each persn.
The results shwed that the brain in bth yung grwn-ups and children was much mre active when writing by hand than when using a keybard. Accrding t Van der Meer, plenty f senses becme active by hlding a pen and putting it dwn n paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sund made while writing. These build cnnectin between different parts f the brain, pening the brain up fr learning.
Van der Meer believes that the results let us knw the imprtance f children being asked t draw and write at an early age, “Learning t write by hand is a slwer curse, but it's imprtant fr children t experience the tiring step f learning t write by hand,” she said.
The hand mvements used t frm the shapes f letters are helpful in several ways. “If yu use a keybard, yu use the same mvement fr each letter. Writing by hand needs cntrl f yur fine mtr (精细动作) skills and senses. It’s imprtant t put the brain in a learning cnditin as ften as pssible,” Van der Meer added, Fr example, yu might use a keybard t write an article, but yu shuld take ntes by hand during a class.
( ) 21．Which is the crrect rder f the study?
① Recrd and study the results.
② Put a special cap n each persn.
③ Find 12 yung grwn-ups and 12 children.
④ Ask the peple t write by hand and use a keybard.
A．②④①③B．③②④①C．③④②①D．②①④③
( ) 22．What is the result f the study?
A．The brain is mre active when writing by hand than when using a keybard.
B. Yu can remember what yu write better if yu use a keybard.
C．Fewer peple chse handwriting and mre peple use a keybard.
D．It is easier t put yur brain in a learning cnditin when yu use a keybard.
( ) 23．What des the underlined wrd “These” refer t?
A．The letters yu are learning t write,
B．The skills yu use t write an article.
C．The sense experiences when yu write by hand.
D．The different parts f the brain relative t writing.
( ) 24．Frm the passage, we can knw that ________.

B. Students shuld cmpletely use handwriting instead f using keybards t finish their tasks.
C. Taking regular handwriting exercises will imprve students’ learning abilities in the lng run.
D. The study findings suggest that the earlier students start using keybards, the mre develped their fine mtr skills will be.
