Passage 12
The earliest form of writing appeared about 5,500 years ago. In the past, handwriting was an important subject in school. Now, many students sometimes do homework on a computer and turn in their tasks online.
Some people think typing(打字) is quick and typed words are easy to read, while writing by hand may take longer than typing. But others say writing with a pen and paper is more valuable.
Writing by hand has big advantages. Research shows that writing down ideas with a pen can make the brain active to help us learn and think. Writing by hand lets people show their creativity too. No two people have the same handwriting. Writing by hand can also help people concentrate(集中注意力). When using a computer, people may go online or play computer games easily.
Handwriting may be pretty. However, people can get their ideas and thoughts down more quickly when they type. Typing can also make it easier for people to change what they have typed. Once something is written by hand, you can't delete it. If you want to make a change, you have to write it all over again. What's more, some people's handwriting may be hard to read.
Typing makes everything clear, and no one will have to worry about their words being clear enough.
1. When did people begin to write?
2. How many advantages of writing by hand are mentioned in Paragraph 3?
3. What may happen when people use a computer?
4. If you need to write a report, will you type or write it by hand? Why? (Please give two reasons.)
