D yu like writing by hand r with a keybard?
A new brain research, led by researchers at Nrwegian University f Science and Technlgy, shws that chsing handwriting instead f using a keybard results in better learning and memry.
“When yu write yur shpping list r class ntes by hand, yu simply remember what yu wrte better later,” said Audrey van der Meer, wh did the study.
12 yung grwn-ups and 12 children tk part in the study. This is the first time that children have taken part in such a study. Special machines were used t fllw and recrd brainwave(电波)activity. Each persn wre a special cap with ver 250 electrdes(电极)n the head, and was asked t write by hand and use a keybard. The sensrs(传感器)in the electrdes picked up the activity that tk place in the brain. Each examinatin tk 45 minutes fr each persn.
The results shwed that the brain in bth yung grwn-ups and children is much mre active when writing by hand than when using a keybard. Accrding t Audrey van der Meer, plenty f senses becme active by hlding a pen and pushing it dwn n paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sund made while writing. These build cnnectin between different parts f the brain, pening the brain up fr learning.
Audrey van der Meer believes that the results call attentin t the imprtance f children being asked t draw and write at an early age, especially at schl. “Learning t write by hand is a bit slwer curse, but it's imprtant fr children t experience the tiring step f learning t write by hand,” she said.
The hand mvements used t frm the shapes f letters are helpful in several ways. “If yu use a keybard, yu use the same mvement fr each letter. Writing by hand requires cntrl f yur fine mtr(精细动作)skills and senses. It's imprtant t put the brain in a learning cnditin as ften as pssible,” Audrey van der Meer added. Fr example, yu might use a keybard t write an article, but yu shuld take ntes by hand during a class.
11. Which is the CORRECT rder f the research steps?
① Recrd and study the results.
② Put a special cap n each persn.
③ Find 12 yung grwn-ups and 12 children.
④ Ask the peple t write by hand and use a keybard.

A. Yu can remember what yu wrte better if yu use a keybard.
B. Fewer peple chse handwriting and mre peple use a keybard.
C. The brain is mre active when writing by hand than when using a keybard.
D. It is easier t put yur brain in a learning cnditin when yu use a keybard.
13. The underlined wrd “These” refers t ______ .
A. The letters yu are learning t writeB. The skills yu use t write an article
C. The sense experiences when yu write by handD. The different parts f the brain relative t writing
14. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
