A
Do you like writing by hand or with a keyboard A new brain study, led by researchers at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, shows that choosing handwriting instead of using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.
“When you write your shopping list or class notes by hand, you simply remember what you wrote better later,” said Audrey van der Meer, who did the study.
12 young grown-ups and 12 children took part in the study. This is the first time that children have taken part in such a study. Special machines were used to follow and record brain wave (电波) activity. Each person wore a special cap with over 250 electrodes (电极) on the head and was asked to write by hand and use a keyboard. The sensors (传感器) in the electrodes picked up the activity that took place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes for each person.
The results showed that the brain in both young grown-ups and children is much more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses become active by holding a pen and pushing it down on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These build connection between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning.
Van der Meer believes that the results call attention to the importance of children being asked to draw and write at an early age, especially at school. “Learning to write by hand is a bit slower course, but it’s important for children to experience the tiring step of learning to write by hand,” she said.
The hand movements used to form the shapes of letters are helpful in several ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills and senses. It’s important to put the brain in a learning condition as often as possible,” Van der Meer added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write an article, but you should take notes by hand during a class.

The story of Romeo and Juliet takes place in Verona in Italy. Two families, the Montagues and the Capulets, hate each other so much that they fight on the street whenever they meet.
One of these families, the Capulets, holds a big party. They introduce their daughter Juliet to a rich nobleman (贵族), Count (伯爵) Paris, who has asked to marry her. Juliet is nearly 14, and her parents force her to marry soon.
That night, at the party, Romeo, the son of the Montague family, meets Juliet and they fall in love at first sight. However, Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, knows Romeo is from the Montague family and wants to kill him, Romeo hides in the garden and talks to Juliet when she appears on her balcony. The next day they go to a priest (神父) called Friar Laurence, who marries them in secret.
Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, gets angry very easily. He starts a fight with Romeo’s best friend. When Romeo steps in to break up the fight between the two men, his best friend is accidentally killed. Romeo runs after Tybalt in anger and kills him. Romeo is sent away from Verona. But Friar Laurence, the priest who organized the secret wedding between Romeo and Juliet, arranges for them to spend one night together as husband and wife.
Meanwhile, the Capulets decide that Juliet must marry Count Paris at once. When Juliet says that she doesn’t want to, her parents are very angry. Of course, they do not know that she has already secretly married Romeo. Juliet asks Friar Laurence to help her to see Romeo again. Friar Laurence has an idea—he gives Juliet a drug which will make everyone think that she is dead. But in fact she’s only in a long, deep sleep. While Juliet is sleeping. Friar Laurence sends a message to Romeo to tell him to come to her tomb (坟墓) and take her away. When the guests arrive for Juliet’s wedding, they find Juliet’s lifeless body. Believing she is dead, her family put her in their tomb. Sadly, Romeo never gets the message that Juliet has taken a drug and is really alive. He only hears that she is dead. Romeo returns to Verona, and goes to Juliet’s tomb. There he meets Count Paris, who has also come to say goodbye to Juliet. The two fight and Romeo kills him. Romeo still believes that Juliet is dead, so he drinks poison (毒药) and dies. But soon after this, Juliet’s drug stops working and she wakes up. She sees that Romeo is dead.

This is such a heart warming piece of news in the cold winter. Some days ago, the temperature was only —6℃ in Kaifeng. Henan Someone ordered 50 cups of warm porridge (粥) through Meituan App and noted “Please give the porridge to those sanitation workers (环卫工人) who are clearing snow on the nearby road and those delivery (递送) men who are delivering food”. When the porridge shop owner received the order, he was moved by the note and provided 60 cups.
The story didn’t end here. As soon as the food delivery man got the big order, he shared it with his workmates so that they could also get paid. Finally, Meituan returned the money to the porridge buyer Mr Zhang and gave him a reward of ¥500. Although he had to raise his newborn baby and pay for his house every month, Mr Zhang said he would surely continue delivering love.
The kind help also encouraged many other citizens in Kaifeng. This summer, volunteers are sending cool drinks every day.
Similar stories have happened in many other places in China. Outdoor workers in different cities are able to enjoy free and caring help. Lots of “love posts” are providing “coolness” in hot summer and “warmth” in cold winter. Just as a citizen of Kaifeng said, “I feel deeply moved and warm in my heart,”
In fact, we get love and give love every day. Love delivery makes our life better and more beautiful.
根据短文内容, 回答问题, 每题答案不超过6个词。

Growing up with reading
Have you watched the programme Everlasting Classics on CCTV This programme makes us more interested in reading books. especially classics. It can not only help us gain more knowledge and open up our eyes, but also make us better and more confident. Our study can be improved if we read more good books. The more we read, the more we will learn, and the brighter our future will become.
However, some students spend much time in listening to music, watching TV or playing computer games. It takes up much of their spare time. I would like to suggest that we should read more classics so that we can spread our traditional Chinese culture to the world. Also, we should develop good reading habits.
Let’s start reading now. And let it become an important part of our life!
