Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard，some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out．90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting．But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it．One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting．Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day，and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much．
Many adults remember learning that way — by copying letters over and over again．Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better．Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself．Instead，they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas．After all，that is why we write．
Handwriting involves two skills．One is legibility，which means forming the letters so they can be read． The other is fluency — writing without having to think about it．Fluency continues to develop up until high school．
But not everyone masters these skills．Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting．Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs．
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school，especially in the early years．American children traditionally first learn to print，and then to write in cursive，which connects the letters．But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board，which administers the SAT college admission test．More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive．From Paragraph 1 we can learn ________．
| A．teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job |
| B．most teachers prefer to teach handwriting |
| C．teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting |
| D．a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely |
The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means ________．
| A．being easy to read |
| B．being complex |
| C．being unexpected |
| D．being unreadable |
The best title for the passage is ________．
| A．How to improve handwriting in school |
| B．Right or wrong: the death of handwriting |
| C．Handwriting involves two skills |
| D．Handwriting lessons are on the way out |
The author’s attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is________．
| A．negative |
| B．objective |
| C．critical |
| D．optimistic |
When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow，the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady．The reporter released the secret—Ma Ke．
Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke's designs for more than a decade，a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visitaccompanying her husband President Xi Jinping．The elegant and attractive Peng，formerly a popular singer，has been compared with the US' first lady Michelle Obama and France's Carla BruniSarkozy，since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22.Suddenly，everyone was curious to know more about the first lady's wardrobe．
Even so，Ma prefers a lowkey approach．“If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen？” she says of all the media attention．
Ma's relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind． Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma's designs and had been wearing them for years．
The two naturally became friends．Ma says: “The painting reflects the painter，and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer．Someone desires fame and wealth，or love and sympathy; what you have in your heart is reflected in the design．Those who don't share my philosophy won't buy my clothes．Peng is a caring person，devoted to charity and environmental protection，which is exactly what I'm doing now．”
However，regardless of the brand，Peng's support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands．
“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion，desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage,”says a western designer．
The first lady's doublebreasted coat and her black leather handbag aren't available at any of Exception's shops，though Exception's physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors．

| A．it is hard to explain “Which came first，the egg or the hen？” |
| B．paying such great attention to her was unnecessary |

| B．Peng's suits can be bought in Ma Ke's clothes stores． |
| C．Ma Ke offered to design the first lady's clothes through her friends． |
| D．Peng had liked Ma's designs long before she got to know her in the flesh． |

“Do you like doing things for people?”I asked a friend．
“Yes，most of the time,”she replied．
“Most of the time?”
“Well，I love to do things that are unexpected． I like to do little things most people wouldn't think about doing,”she said．
“But why did you say most of the time?”
“Well,sometimes after doing those little things people take advantage of you．I mean，they expect you to do it again．They ask you to do it．That's when I don't like it．”
It was odd that I had this conversation．This just happened to me．I love to do little things．I will pay for a meal card for the people in the office every time we have a meeting there．Not a big thing．It's a little thing．$5.30 will pay for almost five lunches．Hey，big spender!
I also bought a bag of animal crackers for a friend at work．She was having a tough day and not very happy at all．I drove down to the Wal-Mart and picked up a huge bag for under $2.00．Her smile was worth it．
But one week she said,“Bob，we ran out of crackers．We love them so much．” I didn't want to do it．I smiled and she persisted． I finally admitted,“It's different when I do it because I want to，but now you are trying to make me go to get them．It's not the same．”But I bought it for her．
Unfortunately，a big fire in my family took away all the possessions we had． I didn't know what to do and how to do it．What happened to me then surprised me most．I once had my bike repaired，but the repairman said “no charge”on hearing my sufferings．A stranger called James Kennedy read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for Slate，the online magazine，and wanted to give us a new house across the lake from New Orleans．I refused but I felt moved． Another poet at the University of Florida also wanted to let his house to me free of charge while he was on holiday．My mates gave us more money for us to rebuild my home．When you do something kind for others，do you always get rewarded? Yes，but not in the way you might expect．What's the main purpose of the first paragraph?
| A．To tell the background of the story． |
| B．To attract the attention of the readers． |
| C．To get the readers to know main idea directly． |
| D．To explain the reasons why he wrote the passage． |
What do we know about James Kennedy?
| A．He was a writer of an online magazine． |
| B．He was also a poet at the University of Florida． |
| C．He offered the author a new house free of charge． |
| D．He learned about the author's sufferings online． |
What can we learn from the passage?
| A．Misfortune of blessing on happiness． |
| B．Never too late to learn． |
| C．Helping others means helping yourself． |
| D．Many hands make the work lighter． |

Choosing a Career After High School
Start thinking early about what kind of work you may want to explore after high school，remembering that you can change careers several times throughout your work life．Your exact choice should take into consideration your interests，personality and personal goals．Read on for some general options to think about when you are choosing a career after high school．
Take a personality and interest test．
The Keirsey Temperament Sorter assumes that you have your own patterns of attitude and actions that are as unique to you as the build of your body．The Keirsey test gives you 71 multiple-choice questions to determine exactly how you interact with the world．
Careers in the professions and most government work require a college education，with a minimum of a bachelor's degree．Other careers do not require a college education，but rather offer on-the-job training and start you out in an entry-level position from which you can grow．
Take vocationaltraining courses．Vocational training prepares you for a specific job and can usually be completed in six months to one year．This may not be a very good option if you struggled with your grades in high school．Vocational training programs are usually modeled after academic training，but are much more hands-on as they allow you to actually do the work while you learn．
Join the military．
The military pays for your future university education and offers you an attractive enlistment(应征入伍) bonus．You will be trained to learn a variety of skills，so be prepared for a highly structured environment that demands self-discipline and hard work．
Start a business．It is important that you enter a career that makes you want to devote yourself wholly to．
This option takes serious discipline and focus，and it requires you to learn basic business skills in addition to the skills of your particular kind of work．
| A．Personality varies from person to person． |
| B．You become qualified to join at the age of 18． |
| C．Find out the educational requirements for your career choices． |
| D．Starting a business can be a great challenge for them． |
E． There are many good online tests that will help you discover what kind ofcareer suits your personality．
F． If you cannot find the right fit in an existing job，then you may be able to create your job through self-employment．
G． When you graduate from high school，you can either choose to continueyour schooling or pursue a career，with all its seemingly endless choices．
