5.In October 2012,I joined an organization to be a volunteer to work in Thailand.When I arrived in Thailand,I thought I would be taken to an orphanage(孤兒院).However,I was told that I had to go to a place by train alone.And then I knew that my job was to teach English in a school instead of working at an orphanage.
The next day I went to the school and met the children I would teach.In the classroom,the children looked at me,saying jye.aithing.No one could speak English.But from their eyes,I knew they were really nervous to learn English.It seemed like a big challenge for me,but that was just what I wanted.
Although I loved the children and the challenge,my life in Thailand was quite hard at first.I was alone and there was nobody I could talk to.However,I didn't give up.If I had been afraid of difficulties,I wouldn't have traveled all the way from England to Thailand to be a volunteer.Little by little,I learned some Thai and started to fall in love with Thailand.Every time I saw the children's pleasure of learning English,I was happy and felt that what I was doing was really meaningful.
I began to work in a hospital in Thailand last month.If you also want to be a volunteer like me,don't worry too much about the food or the place where you live.After all,as a volunteer,the most important thing is to help people who need help.

7.Does handwriting matter(要緊)?Not very much,according to many educators.However,scientists say it is far too soon to declare(宣布) handwriting is not important.New evidence(證據(jù)) shows that the link(聯(lián)系) between handwriting and educational development is deep.
Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand,but they are also better able to create ideas and remember jye.aiformation.In other words,it's not only what we write that matters--but how.
A study led by Karin James,a psychologist at Indiana University,gave support to that view.A group of children,who had not learned to read and write,were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways:draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline(虛線),draw it on a piece of blank white paper,or type it on a computer.Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner(掃描) and showed them the image again.
It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand(徒手畫) without a dotted outline or a computer,the activity in three areas of the brain were increased(增加).These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write.By contrast,children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect.Dr.James attributes(歸咎于) the differences to the process of free handwriting:not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable.Those are not necessary when we have an outline.
It's time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children's handwriting.
(1)What do scientists mean by saying "it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important"?
A.Handwriting is not very important to children.
B.Handwriting has nothing to do with education.
C.Handwriting should not be ignored at present.
D.Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.
(2)What does "that view" in Para.3 refer to?
A.How we write is as important as what we write.
B.Children create ideas and remember information.
C.A group of students should know what to write.
D.Children read quickly when they write by had.
(3)Which is NOT the children's task in the experiment?
A.Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.
B.Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.
C.Put a brain scanner and show the image again.
D.Type the image directly on a computer.
(4)According to the passage,the writer
A.a(chǎn)grees to give up
B.refuses to give up
C.doesn't care about
D.doesn't think highly of組卷:18引用:2難度:0.7
