Next, Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil(土壤). It was still to cold to plant anything. so for days I just stared out the window at these holes. To me, it looked much too untidy I advised to fill those holes back and dig new ones. This time we ended up with 10. Much better.
Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by planting green onion. But I was too excited and planted it too early.

Do you like writing by hand or with a keyboard
A new brain research, 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.
36. Which is the correct order of the research steps
①Record and study the results ②Put special caps on each person
③Find 12 young grow-ups and 12 children ④Ask he people to write by hand and use a keyboard
A. ②④①③ B. ③②④① C. ③④②① D. ②①④③
37. What is the result of the research
A. You can remember what you wrote better if you use a keyboard
B. Fewer people choose handwriting and more people use a keyboard
C. The brain is more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard
D. It is easier to put your brain in a learning condition when you use a keyboard
38. What does the underlined word “These” refer to (指的是)
A. The letters you are learning to write B. The skills you use to write an article
C. The sense experiences when you write by hand D. The different parts of the brain relative to writing
39. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The examples of writing by hand instead of using a keyboard
B. The control of your fine motor skills and senses when you write
C. The several ways to write an article and take notes during a class
D. The reasons why the hand movements in writing are helpful in learning
40. What can be inferred (推断) from the passage
A. Children will be encouraged to write more by hand
B. We must write our shopping list by hand from now on
C. The more a young person writes, the worse his memory is
D. Learning to write by hand is faster than learning to use a keyboard
