36、In a digital age, we almost never write things by hand. However, many studies have shown that this act has many benefits（益处）.New brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, announces the same: choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better
37、learning and memory.“When you write your shopping list or notes by hand, you simply remember things better after some time,” said Audrey van der Meer, author of the study.The study was done using equipment to track and record brain wave activity. 12 young adults and 12 children took part in the stud
38、y. Each person was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a hood（风帽）with over 250 electrodes（电极）. The sensors（传感器）in the electrodes are very sensitive and catch the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes per person.The results show th
39、at the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Van der Meer, plenty of senses are activated by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These sense experiences b

41、 children to go through the tiring process of learning to write by hand,” she said.The hand movements are good for us in many ways. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your skills and senses. It is important to put the brain in a lea
42、rning state as often as possible,” Van der Meer added. “You might use a keyboard to write an article, but you should learn by hand during a class.”42What advantage does choosing handwriting have over using keyboard?AIts more challenging.BIts better for learning and memory.CIts less likely to cause t
