15、xt or email is far more convenient than using traditional mail. Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe its not time to throw away your ballpoint or fountain pen yet.These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing

16、 this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But doing a handwritten document is unique: it requires planning and thought, and, as well as practicing your handwriting, it helps you to remember selling and punctuation.Some experts believe your brain benefits from us

17、ing old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly related to students, because typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback” (触觉回馈) to the brain.

23、We Still Need to Write by Hand?DThe Birth of Writing by HandDThere are few creators whose legacy (遗产) is as far-reaching as Walt Disney. Disney transformed a simple cartoon mouse into a huge empire. Through the years, Disney also had his share of critics. But his view of criticism (批评) may be differ

24、ent than what youd imagine.Way back in 1975, the book The Story ofWalt Disney shared one of my favorite quotes from the famous entertainer: “You may not realize it when it happens, but may be the best thing in the world for you.” There is a lot to be learned from that sentence. As you go through lif

25、e, there will be no shortage of persons telling you what you need to improve. You could simply ignore them or you could do what Disney did: use that negative feedback to make you better.Negative feedback is like a freshly mined (开采的) diamond. On the surface, youve got what would appear to most perso

26、ns to be a dull, ugly rock. But to a trained eye, that ugly rock is extremely valuable. All it needs is a little cut and polish (抛光). Criticism is like an unpolished diamond: it is ugly.

27、onal diamond cutter can take that unpolished rock and turn it into something beautiful, you can learn to get the benefits of criticism.Think about it: smart as you are, theres always room for improvement. Additionally, all of us have blind spots. Of course, some criticism will be completely wrong. B

28、ut even in these cases, its valuable because it helps you to see your actions through another perspective (角度)，one you may not have considered.Learning to benefit from such criticism takes emotional intelligence-the ability to make emotions work for you, instead of against you. The key is to change

29、the way you process criticism and learn to turn negative feedback into something constructive. It never feels good to hear that you are wrong. When you do, take a page out of Walts book and remember: it is the ones who tell you the truth-even when it hurts-who will make you better.13What does the un

30、derlined part in paragraph 2 most probably mean?AA surprising result.BA discouraging event.CA positive comment.DA comforting action.14How is the third paragraph mainly developed?ABy offering numbers.BBy analyzing causes.CBy comparison.DBy describing a process.15Why is even wrong criticism meaningful

38、kind of a magical, gravity-defying (失重) feeling about it. You can fly much lower near the ground. And you can even talk to people on the ground, and youre going slow enough to appreciate what is floating past you. Im Don Cameron, and were in the balloon factory here in Bristol Cameron Balloons.We do

39、 special-shaped balloons, and we can make almost any shape. Animals are most fun I suppose. We built all sorts of animals dinosaurs and squirrels, almost everything.It was a group of us from the gliding (滑翔) club who decided to build our own balloon. And we built the first modern hot-air balloon thi

40、s side of the Atlantic. It was called the Bristol Belle. We started work in 1966 and didnt finish it until the summer of 1967.Building balloons over the years hasnt changed a great deal.

44、t-air balloon factory.CThere are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flag. So whats wrong with purple? Its such a popular color today. Why would no country use it in their flag? The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just for too expensive.Th

45、e color purple has been associated with royalty power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I forbade anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purples high status comes from the rarity and cost of the dye (染料)originally used to produce it. Fabric traders got the dye from a sma

46、ll sea snail (海螺)that was only found in the Tyre region of the Mediterranean. More than 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of purple; not to mention a lot of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive.Since only wealthy rulers could afford to buy and wear the

47、 color, it became associated with the royal family. Sometimes, however, the dye was too expensive even for royalty. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldnt allow his wife to buy a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost thre

48、e pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldnt spend that much having purple on their flags.The dye became more accessible to lower-class about a century and a half ago. In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a man-made purple compound (化合物)while attempting to produce an
