28、atches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from and old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined. Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I cant tell you how pleased I am to be here. I hav

31、e all been successful in you chosen path.” “There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work.

37、kboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necess
38、ary for students to be successful-both in school and in life. 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
39、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 rec
40、ent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in 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 allow
41、ing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger 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 chil
42、dren not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, 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
43、 has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.” 46.

44、hing. C. The lack of practice in handwriting. D. The popular use of smartphones. 47. Berningers study published in 2009 _. A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.

Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability. C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas. D. Spelling slo
46、ws down finding exact words to express ideas. 49. What does “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. Spell checks can take the place of spelling tea
47、ching. C. Handwriting still has a place in todays classrooms. 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
48、 you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” 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. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to b
49、lame yourself or others. Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They beli
