We're told that writing is dying. Typing on keyboards and screens (1) written communication today. Learning cursive (草书), joined﹣up handwriting was once (2) in schools. But now, not so much. Countries such as Finland have dropped joined﹣up handwriting lessons in schools (3) typing courses. And in the U. S., the requirement to learn cursive has been left out of core standards since 2013. A few U. S. states still place value on formative cursive education, such as Arizona, but they're not the(4) .
Some experts point out that writing lessons can have indirect (5) . Anne Trubek, author of The History and Uncertain Future of Handwriting, argues that such lessons can reinforce a skill called automaticity. That's when you've perfected a task, and can do it almost without thinking. (6) you extra mental bandwidth to think about or do other things while you're doing the task. In this sense, Trubek likens handwriting to (7) .
"Once you have driven for a while, you don't (8) think 'Step on gas now'(or) 'Turn the steering wheel a bit'," she explains. "You just do it. That's what we want children to (9) when learning to write. You and I don't think 'now make a loop going up for the 'I' or 'now look for the letter 'r' on the keyboard'." Trubek has written many essays and books on handwriting, and she doesn't believe it will die out for a very long time, "if ever". But she believes students are learning automaticity faster with keyboards than with handwriting: students are learning how to type without looking at the keys at (10) ages, and to type faster than they could write, granting them extra time to think about word choice or sentence structure. In a piece penned (if you'll pardon the expression) for the New York Times last year, Trubek argued that due to the improved automaticity of keyboards, today's children may well become better communicators in text as (11) takes up less of their education. This is a(n)(12) that has attracted both criticism and support.
She explains that two of the most common arguments she hears from detractors regarding the decline of handwriting is that not (13) it will result in a "loss of history" and a "loss of personal touch".
On the former she (14) that 95% of handwritten manuscripts can't be read by the average person anyway "that's why we have paleographers," she explains, paleography being the study of ancient styles of writing while the latter refers to the warm (15) we give to handwritten personal notes, such as thank﹣you cards. Some educators seem to agree, at least to an extent.

Myopia, or short﹣sightedness, is a condition in which distant objects appear blurred (模糊的), but closer objects can usually be seen in sharp focus. Its biological basis is an eye that, during childhood, has grown too long for its optical power. The focal plane for images of distant objects ends up in front of the retina, causing out﹣of (1) perception.
Myopia was once regarded as almost totally genetically (2) . But its prevalence (流行) has increased spectacularly in urban mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and South Korea, where 80﹣90% of those completing high school are now short﹣sighted. This is up from 20﹣30% only two generations ago. Since gene pools do not change that fast, these massive changes must be due to(3) change. In 2005, we (4) reviewed the research on myopia and found a correlation with education. (This was not a particularly novel insight: such a link was supposed as far back as Kepler in 1604.) We found locations with a high prevalence of myopia were all top performers in surveys of international educational outcomes.
Fortunately, not all high (5) locations, Australia among them, showed a high prevalence of myopia. This shows that high educational outcomes do not necessarily lead to myopia. We also hypothesized that all human population groups had a tendency to develop myopia under particular environmental conditions. Indeed. North America and Europe have seen growing rates of myopia, although they are still nowhere near as high as in East and Southeast Asia.
A common cutoff for high myopia is 5 diopters (屈光度). This means vision is blurred beyond 20cm from the eyes. Such severe or high myopia increases with age and can lead to visual impairment that can't be corrected. The prevalence of high myopia has now reached 20% in young adults in East and Southeast Asia, which foreshadows major increases in visual (6) and blindness as these young adults age. So prevention of myopia has become crucial, particularly for East and Southeast Asia.
Australia has (7) low levels of myopia with a lifestyle that emphasizes outdoors activities. Young children report spending two to three hours a day outside, not (8) time outdoors at school. However, there are formidable barriers to achieving this benchmark in locations where spending time outdoors is seen as a(n)(9) from study. Policy responses must therefore also aim to slow the progression of myopia, the phenomenon in which mild to (10) myopia becomes more severe during childhood. There is currently controversy over whether time outdoors slows progression, but strong seasonal effects on progression suggest that it may.

Millions of Baby Olive Ridley Turtles Emerge in Orissa
Nature is full of wonders. In (1) is one of the most breathtaking sights in nature, millions of baby Ridley turtles broke out of their eggshells under the sand at one of their mass nesting grounds in coastal Orissa. The baby turtles started their journey towards the Bay of Bengal (2) they emerged from their nest in the southern district of Ganjam, about 175 km from Bhubaneshwar.
Orissa is the home to three mass nesting sites of the Oliver turtles, a species (3) (threaten) with extinction, and one of the sites, Gahirmatha,(4) around 70 to 80 million turtles lay eggs on the beach every year, is considered one of the world's largest nesting sites.
The female turtles drag (5) up the beach from the sea, dig a nest, lay at least one hundred eggs, cover and conceal their eggs and nest, and then return to the sea. The females never visit the nest again to take care of the eggs that (6) (deposit) in the warm sand.
The baby turtles emerge from the eggs after 45 60 days, then the babies grow without their mother, which is a rare phenomenon in nature, Interestingly, it is on the same beach where they were born (7) the females lay their eggs.
In the recent years, sea erosion has led to many turtles' nest (8) (damage) or destroyed. Also, some fierce animals such as dogs and birds (9) (reduce) the number of nesting turtles. And of course man has also had a negative impact (10)
using engine﹣powered fishing boats near the turtles' nesting grounds.

Parents everywhere praise their kids. Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids, says, "We've gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to be more strict." By giving kids a lot of praise, parents think they're building their children's confidence, when, in fact, it may be just the opposite. Too much praise can backfire and, when given in a way that's insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents' praise has put them.
Still, don't go too far in the other direction. Not giving enough praise can be just as damaging gas giving too much. Kids will feel like they're not good enough or that you don't care and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.
So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward." We should especially recognize our children's efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a goal, "says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What Really Matters." One thing to remember is that it's the process not the end product that matters."
Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team. But if he's out there every day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses. Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when she has worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report. But whatever it is, praise should be given on a case-by-case basis and be proportionate(相称的)to the amount of effort your child has put into it.

California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).
Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
(1)What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. |
The seriousness of big-tree loss in California. |
B. |
The increasing variety of California big trees. |
C. |
The distribution of big trees in California forests. |
D. |
The influence of farming on big trees in California. |
(2)Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A. |
Ecological studies of forests. |
B. |
Banning woodcutting. |
C. |
Limiting housing development. |
D. |
Fire control measures. |
(3)What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?
A. |
Inadequate snowmelt. |
B. |
A longer dry season. |
C. |
A warmer climate. |
D. |
Dampness of the air. |
(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. |
California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone? |
B. |
Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon |
C. |
Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests? |
D. |

Money with no strings attached.It's not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, "Give What You Can, Take What You Need."
People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. "People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的)backgrounds gave and took, "said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. "We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars." Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip(片段)shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.
"What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles," Bridges said. "There's a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most." Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.
"After all, everyone has bad days and good days," he said. "Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand."
(1)What does the expression "money with no strings attached" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. |
Money spent without hesitation. |
B. |
Money not legally made. |
C. |
Money offered without conditions. |
D. |
Money not tied together. |
(2)What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?
A. |
Women tended to be more sociable. |
B. |
The activity attracted various people. |
C. |
Economic problems were getting worse. |
D. |
Young couples needed financial assistance. |
(3)Why did Bridges carry out the project?
A. |
To do a test on people's morals. |
B. |
To raise money for his company. |
C. |
To earn himself a good reputation. |
D. |
To promote kindness and sympathy. |
Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military(军队的)medals for sale in antique stores and on the Internet. But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals' rightful owners, and returns them.
His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother, a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A. G. Piccoli, found in an antique shop. Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he earned one himself in a war as a soldier. So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do.
Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado's sister Adeline Rockko. But when he finally reached her, the woman flooded him with questions: "Who are you?2What antique shop?" However, when she hung up, she regretted the way she had handled the call. So she called Zac back and apologized. Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, N.Y. "At that point, I knew she meant business," Zac says. "To drive eight hours to come to see me."
The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown. Corrado, a translator for the Army during WWII, was killed in action in Europe.
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn't realized the medal was missing. Like many military medals, the one Zac's mother had found was a family treasure." This medal was very precious to my parents. Only on special occasions(场合)would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands," Adeline says.
As a child, Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant. "But as I grew older," Adeline says, "and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left." Corrado Piccoli's Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown.
Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since he first reunited Corrado's medal, Zac says his record is now 5 for 5.
(1)Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself?
A. | In the army. |
B. | In an antique shop. |
C. | From his mother. |
D. | From Adeline Rockko. |
(2)What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him?
A. | She was very impolite. |
B. | She was serious about the medal. |
C. | She suspected his honesty. |
D. | She came from a wealthy family. |
(3)What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart?
A. | Her parents' advice. |
B. | Her knowledge of antiques. |
C. | Her childhood dream. |
D. | Her memory of her brother. |

Since I was a kid, I've considered different job I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked so coolly. Then, when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too much. When I studied chemistry high school, I reconsidered my goal or decided to be a doctor. They were two reasons for the decision. One was that I was amazing at the fact that a sick person could feel much more better after seeing a doctor. And the other is that I wanted to help people in need.

It's about 250 miles from the hills of west-central Iowa to Ehlers' home in Minnesota. During the long trip home, following a weekend of hunting, Ehlers 1 about the small dog he had seen 2 alongside the road. He had 3 to coax(哄)the dog to him but, frightened, it had 4 .
