38、e. Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand. Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete va

39、rious writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate. In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in

40、a students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger

41、said. Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换 ) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “minds eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berning

42、er, but also to spot(发现 ) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time. “In our computer age, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade

43、 level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.” 46. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past? A.

Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas. D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas. 49. What do

46、es “minds eye” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Window. B. Soul C. Picture. D. Imagination. 50. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage? A. Computers can help people with their choice of words. B.

47、oms. D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade. D You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They”

48、are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化 )your victimization.
