The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic（怀旧的）skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful—both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s 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 various 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 a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how 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 said.
"In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks," she said. "But until a child has a functional spelling, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer. "
1. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past
A. The absence of blackboard in classrooms.
B. The use of new technologies in teaching.
C. The lack of practice in handwriting.
D. The popular use of smartphones.
2. Berninger’s study published in 2009 ________.
A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.
B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.
C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.
D. discussed the importance of writing speed.
3. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling
A. Spelling is unrelated to writing skills.
B. Spelling plays a vital part in writing.
C. Spelling has negative effect on writing.
D. Spelling slows down us to express ideas.
4. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage
A. Computers can take place of handwriting.
B. Handwriting functions only in the past.
C. Basic handwriting skills are still needed.
D. Handwriting is useless nowadays.

Running is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track. But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (脑内啡), chemicals in the body that cause happiness, which are behind the so-called runner’s high, a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon (现象) than we previously knew.
According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.
To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice. Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety. But after being given a drug to block their endorphins, the mice’s behavior didn’t seem to change. However, when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug, their runner’s high symptoms (症状) seemed to fade.
“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner’s high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifehacker.
Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety. The UK’s National Health Service even prescribe (开药方) exercise to patients who are suffering from depression. “Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it’s especially useful for people with mild to moderate depression,” it wrote on its website.
It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don’t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.
1. What did scientists from Germany universities recently discover
A. Endorphins may contribute to one’s high spirits after running.
B. The runners’ high could be caused by endocannabinoids.
C. The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one’s mood.
D. Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.
2. Why did scientists give mice drugs in their experiment
A. To test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released.
B. To see the specific symptoms of the runner’s high.
C. To identify what is responsible for the runner’s high.
D. To find what reduces the runner’s high symptoms.
3. What does the underlined word “notion” probably mean in Paragraph 4
A. belief. B. activity. C. effect. D. question.
4. What can we learn according to the UK’s National Health Service
A. Workouts can help people completely recover from depression.
B. Workouts are the best way to treat depression.
C. Workouts only work for those with depression.
D. Workouts can help ease depression symptoms.
