17、The practice of students endlessly copying letters 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 today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe handwriting skills are still 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 it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children learn the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her workmates carried 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 what role spelling plays in a student’s 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 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 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 into 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 don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the choices given by the computer.” 1．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling? A．Spelling improves one’s memory of words. B．Spelling ability is closely tied to writing ability. C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas. D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas. 2．What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Window. B．Emotion. C．Picture. D．Imagination. 3．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Computers can help people with their choice of words. B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching. C．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms. D．Spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

18、 In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also used highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
1．Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section? A．To save customers time. C．To help sell junk food.
B．To show they are high quality foods. D．To sell them at discount prices.
2．According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A．Opening the store early in the morning. B．Displaying British wines next to French ones. C．Inviting customers to play music.
D．Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
3．What is the California builder’s story intended to prove? A．The house structure is a key factor customers consider. B．The more costly the house is, the better it sells. C．An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste. D．A good first impression increases sales. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain how businesses turn people into their customers. B．To introduce how businesses have grown from the past. C．To report researches on customer behavior. D．To show dishonest business practices. Ⅴ.书面表达
