Although computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does. You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a new study.
The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information?
In all,24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors. Those sensors recorded the participants' brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn't.
Audrey van der Meer, the new study's leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly, the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,” she adds.
This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out, computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes to speed, they add.
4. Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study?
A. To record their brainwaves
B. To inform them of their tasks
C. To allow them to focus on writing
D. To protect their heads like hair nets
5. What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain?
A. Why handwriting is more complex than typing
B. Why the brain works when it comes to learning
C. Why handwriting helps remember information
D. Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking
6. What is the study's authors' view on typing?
A. It relieves people's hands
B. It remains vital and helpful
C. It is not worth recommending
D. It is more challenging than writing
7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Can You Remember New Information?
B. Handwriting Benefits Health in the LongRun
C. Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting?
D. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing
C
Naomi Cooke was walking with a friend and their dogs through her local park in Burnside, on Tuesday when she heard someone shout to watch out. Cooke turned and hardly had time to react before a flying disc hit her in the face with a "big bang”, leaving her right cheek swollen almost to the size of a golfball.
Two men playing disc golf at the course in Jellie Park were about 20 metres fromthe pairwhen one of them threw the disc hard, aiming for a nearby goal.
After being hit Cooke immediately went to the emergency department, where two CT scans on her face and cheek found she had escaped any broken bones. "I'm lucky it didn't hit my eye because I think I would have lost it." Cooke said.
Cooke often walks her dog at the park and said it was always busy with people playing disc golf, but it was not until after Tuesday that she became concerned about public safety there.
There were no signs about the disc golf course in the park, she said, and the area is shared with children and people walking their dogs.
“If it had hit one of the kids in the head, it could have killed them.” Cooke did not think she was the only person who had been hit before, and said there would be others who share her concerns.
Cooke planned to go to the council, saying it needed to realise how dangerous it was for the space to be shared by everyone and to provide disc golfers with a space where they can play safely. "There should be rules
about how it's done, making it safe for everyone.”

One day when I was 5, my mother criticized me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry motion to open the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have criticized my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. But my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a crack in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would remind me of my mistake from time to time. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insectentered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Aboveall, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.
12. When the author damaged the door, his parents _______.

B. left the door unrepaired
C. told him how expensive it was
D. gave him a spanking

B. He found that his family members no longer liked him.
C. He found it destroyed the happy atmosphere at his home.
D. He felt he had to work hard to make up for (弥补) the damage.
14. The experience may cause the author _______.
A. to hide his anger away from others
B. not to go against his parents’ will
C. to have a better control of himself
D. not to make mistakes in the future
15. What of the following is the main idea of this passage?
A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.
B. Parents shouldn’t educate their children.
C. What is the best way to become a more patient person?
D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.

Can you move 11 minutes a day? You’ll live longer if you do
There is no denying that 2020 has reduced activity levels. Between the Zoom meetings, Netflix binges and virtual cocktail hours, increased sitting is a pandemic-driven reality for many.____16____But there is good news! Despite all that sedentary time, with as little as 11 minutes of movement a day, you can increase your life span, a recent study has found.____17____It's true; past studies, including a popular study from 2016, had originally put the daily exercise target at 60 to 75 minutes for mortality benefits. However, that study was based on self-reported data, which this latest study, published in theBritish Journal of Sports Medicine, found to be flawed due to people misremembering their actual activity levels.
Taking a more objective approach, scientists at the Norwegian School of Sports Medicine based their research on the use of activity monitors to track exercise versus sedentary time. The results showed that participants who exercised 35 minutes per day saw the biggest statistical difference on life span. Yet just 11 minutes of moderate
exercise — equivalent to a brisk walk — still had a noticeable positive impact.____18____
Here is a way to consider—4 sets of a 3-minute body-weight exercise sequence. Depending on the exercises you use, you may go at a slightly different pace during each round, making it about 11 minutes. When selecting your exercises, try to pick a sequence of movements that will equate to a full-body workout of moderate effort.____19____Ideally, do a combo, determining the number of repetitions for each exercise based on your fitness level and maintaining a three-minute sequence for the time frame.
See how easy it is to fit in 11 minutes of daily exercise? You can do it.____20____Although no one can give you a do-over of 2020, you can make up for lost time by adding a little more to your life span.
A. In fact, you owe it to yourself after getting through this past year.
B. And studies have revealed the great health risks of prolonged sitting.
C. The simplest way is with a walk outside or on the treadmill at your local gym.
D. A lower barrier makes it easier to get even the most inactive among us moving.
E. You might wonder about the hour-per-day measurement you've been hearing about for years.
F. What's more, both time frames were positively impactful, regardless of the amount of sitting.
G. Avoid doing only upper-body movements unless you do lower-body movements the next day.
