23、and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of old skill. However, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe handwriting skills are sti
24、ll necessary for students to be successful-both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology(心理学) at the University of Washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children learn the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her workmates car
25、ried out a study that looked at the ability of students to complete different writing tasks-both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, people wrote longer articles and more complete sentences.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at
26、 what role spelling plays in a students 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 get our vocabulary, word meaning and ideas. It is allowing our written language to connect w
27、ith 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 into written symbols(标志) on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “_” helps children not only to turn their ideas int
28、o words, says Berninger, but also to notice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them 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 has spelling ability of about a fifth g

The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb 25.The movie was adapted from the true
32、 story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to performances, but they face problems because of Shirleys skin color. These problems lead them to form a special friendship. “Theres some
33、thing so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time,” wrote US film critic Mick LaSalle.The time LaSalle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow laws (吉姆克劳法), which allowed racial segregation (种族隔离). The
34、se laws made life and travel 39 for African-Americans. They couldnt use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after sunset or they might be put into prison. Even black celebrities (名人) had to follow the laws.But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green
35、had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow laws went away. The book went away, too. Today many US people still remember the time of
36、Jim Crow. But they probably dont know about The Green Book. Its a forgotten part of the story.
