Does handwriting have a practical use today? Do we really need it? Many educators say yes．
Handwriting is important because research shows that when children are taught how to do it，they are also being taught how to learn and how to express themselves．Students with fluent（流暢的）handwriting produce better homework and get higher grades，a new study by Professor Steve Graham shows．
Handwriting is a basic skill of learning，expert Emily Knapton says．She believes，“When kids have trouble with handwriting，it affects all their subjects．Spelling becomes a problem；maths becomes a problem，too．Both of the subjects will be much easier for these kids to learn if their handwriting is improved．”
Fluency and speed of handwriting are very important．Graham's study has also shown that from kindergarten（幼兒園）through the fourth grade，kids think and write at the same time．If they have to struggle to remember how to spell the words，their ability to express themselves will suffer．Stephen Pevely，a professor of education says，“From the writing speed of primary school students，we can know the quality and quantity of their writing in middle school．”
Predictions of handwriting's end didn't begin with the computer；they date back to the introduction of the Remington typewriter in 1873．But for at least a generation（一代人），handwriting has seemed much less important．Now，supported by new research，educators are trying to bring back its special importance into the classroom．
41．Many educators agree that handwriting ________ today．
A．is not necessary B．is unimportant
C．has a practical use D．is useless
42．Graham's study shows that students with fluent handwriting probably have ________．
A．lower grades B．worse homework and grades
C．good reading skills D．better homework and grades
43．When a student has good handwriting，his spelling and maths will be ________．
A．much easier B．much harder C．great fun D．a problem
44．The underlined word "suffer" in the passage means “________”．
A．be strongly influenced B．be deeply moved
C．be badly affected D．be seriously hurt
45．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Kids' handwriting has a good effect on their learning．
B．Handwriting helps improve kids' performance in all their subjects．
C．Students should try to improve the fluency of their handwriting．
D．Handwriting came to an end after the typewriter appeared．

There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy．One way is the greater production of common energy sources（能源），such as coal，oil and gas．The trouble with these sources，however，is that they are not renewable．Another way is energy conservation，which means using energy better．Thirdly，renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop．One form of these is solar energy（太陽能）．
In Japan，there is a wonderful program of Solar City．The city is 80,000 meters northwest of Tokyo and one of Japan's sunniest places，covering about 410,000 square meters．Seventy-five percent of the homes there are covered by solar panels（太陽能電池板），which are able to provide more than enough energy for a normal family on sunny days．The government has paid much money to help people to make full use of solar energy．A lot of solar energy companies have also given money to help this program．
People living in Solar City think using solar panels is a good way to save money．However，saving money is not the only reason why people are moving into this city．“We moved here because of the panels．It was something we wanted．”said Mika Hiroshima，a newcomer to Solar City．
The Solar City program of Japan has brought hope to us．While we are making use of solar energy，we need to think about other renewable sources that can be used to help solve the energy problem．
