Handwriting reveals a great deal about how an individual thinks, since the brain dictate (發(fā)號(hào)施令) hand movements when a person writes.People who think quickly will write quickly, while people whose thinking is slow will write in the same way.Sometimes we see very elaborate (精致的) handwriting, particularly among public figures, such as actors or politicians, who want to draw attention to themselves.For them, handwriting is like a dress that enables them to stand out from the crowd.

The handwriting of someone who is suited to a routine job will appear well organized, clear, and regular, without any special features drawing attention to it.If the job requires proven accuracy, like that of an accountant(會(huì)計(jì)), the handwriting, especially the numbers, should be precise.On the other hand, someone in sales or public relations must be self-assured, know how to make a good impression, and be able to befriend people even when meeting them for the first time.The handwriting of such individuals will appear rather large, with elaborate capitals and on oversized signature.It will be quick, fluent, and not necessarily reasonable.

Handwriting analysis can be used to find potential behavioral or personality problems.People who are impulsive, aggressive, or dishonest write differently than those who are socially well adapted.Warning signs include broken and strongly or sporadically (零散的) pressured handwriting; disorderly handwriting in which the words run over the lines on the paper, or extremely sharp handwriting.Generally, handwriting that is extreme in any aspect-too small, too weak or too pressured-is suspect.

Evidence of medical problems also shows up in a person’s handwriting.Individuals in pain often stop in the middle of writing.Pauses will be visible in the handwriting of people who experience difficulty breathing, because they stop writing to take a breath.

Handwriting expresses the mental and physical state of the individual, as well.Depressed people write slowly, with lines sloping (傾斜) down and heavy pressure exerted(施加) on the page.People who are excessively excited will write quickly, and their handwriting will be extremely disorganized and practically unreadable.People who are tired tend to write lines that descend down the page, and their handwriting will appear weak and slow.Healthy and vigorous individual will write energetically, and their handwriting will be quick, rhythmic and fluent.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2010-2011學(xué)年浙江省杭州市高二上學(xué)期開(kāi)學(xué)考試英語(yǔ)卷 題型:閱讀理解

As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(筆畫(huà))of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.

Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.

All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.

It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.

"When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it."

"I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper."

Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?

Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(審美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them"

To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

1.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.

B. To Type or To Hand Write

C. Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By Hand

D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.

2.The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because______.

A. they are usually asked to e-mail their Homework and Essays

B. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently 

C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character

D. computers have become a trend and fashion in China.

3.The underlined expression “taking stock in”(Paragraph 4) probably means_____.

A. getting bored with          B. getting dependent on    

C. becoming crazy about       D. getting curious about

4.We can draw the conclusion from the passage that_______.

A. more and more students will give up writing on a computer

B. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day

C. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting

D. the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and quality

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2010屆福建省晉江市四校高三上學(xué)期第一次聯(lián)合考試 題型:閱讀理解

 

High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world. However, some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things. Here’s an example of why this is happening. You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds. However, it won’t taste as good as one you cook on the stove. And if you’re in that much of a hurry, you probably won’t take time to toast the bun. High-tech cooking saves time, but it doesn’t make for better tasting meals.

     Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet. This has many advantages. For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. It’s also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs. However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages. They give more background and details. They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest.

    Other high-tech timesavers have similar disadvantages. For example, most people use the phone or email to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the Internet or the phone, you don’t always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you word process a home work assignment instead of handwriting it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings. However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don’t pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.

72. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

   A. The writer likes high-tech cooking.

   B. Low-tech cooking produces better-tasting meals.

   C. High—tech news programs always keep you reading what is important to you.

   D. Handwritten homework is better than word-processed homework. 

73. How does the writer feel about high—tech tools?

   A. Better late than never.                        B. Easy come, easy go.

   C. Every coin has two sides.                     D. Learn to walk before you run.

74. What is the main subject discussed in the text?

   A. High—tech vs. low—tech.

   B. Advantages vs. disadvantages.

   C. Newspapers and magazines vs. television and the Internet.

   D. Word—processing vs. handwriting.

75. How is the text organized?

A. Main idea — Argument — Explanation.

   B. Opinion — Discussion — Description.

   C. Topic — Comparison — Supporting examples.

   D. Introduction — Supporting examples — Discussion.
