Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.”

Starting this year, six-to-twelve-year olds in California will be required to learn cursive handwriting. It was left out for many years because typing on computer keyboards was taught. It comes back again. Assembly Bull 446《446 号议会法案》requires that handwriting be taught to 2.6 million Californian students in grades one through six. And it requires cursive lessons in grades three and above.
Cursive is a kind of handwriting in which all the letters in a word are connected to each other. California Governor (州长) signed the bill into law in October, 2023. California grade school students are being required to learn it this year, in Fullerton, California, U. S. January 23rd, 2024.
Experts say learning cursive improves brain development, reading skills, and hand movement. Some educators also find value in teaching children to read historic documents and family letters from past generations (世代).
Keller teaches grades four to six at a primary school in Fullerton. She began to teach cursive learning last winter. She did it before the law took effect (生效) on January 1st, 2024. Some children complain about the difficulty, but Keller has a ready answer. “We tell them, well, it’s going to make you smarter, it’s going to make some connections in your brain, and it’s going to help you move to the next level. Students want to be smarter so they want to learn,” Keller said. During a recent visit to the school library, Keller said one student got excited seeing a picture of the U. S. Constitution (宪法), written in 1787, saying “It’s cursive!”
Several of Keller’s students say the subject was difficult, like the letter Z, but they enjoyed it anyway. “I love it. It’s fun to learn new letters.” said Sophie, a 9-year-old in the fourth grade. In teacher Naney’s class, one of her third-grade students, Andrew said, “It’s fun. Now I can read my mom’s writing and it’s for my secrets.”
63．What do we know about cursive
A．It was left out because of typing.
B．It connects all words to each other.
C．2.6 million Californian students are required to learn it.
D．Californian students in grades 1-6 are required to learn it.
64．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Typing. B．The bill. C．The law. D．Cursive.
65．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．The development of children’s brain. B．The advantages of learning cursive
C．The ways of teaching children to read. D．The people supporting the cursive learning
66．Put the events in the correct order according to the passage.
① Keller began teaching cursive.
② California Governor signed the bill into law.
③ Students in Fullerton are required to learn cursive.
④ A student saw the picture of the U. S. Constitution in 1787.
A．④②①③ B．③②①④ C．②①③④ D．①③④②
67．What is Andrew’s attitude towards learning cursive
A．He is interested in it B．He thinks it’s too difficult.
C．He doesn’t mind learning it. D．He has to learn it because of his mom.

California grade school students are being required to learn it this year”可知，草书是一种将一个单词中的所有字母连在一起的书写形式。加州州长于2023年10月签署了该法案。加州小学生今年被要求学习它，此处的它指代上文的Cursive“草书”。故选D。
65．主旨大意题。根据“Experts say learning cursive improves brain development, reading skills, and hand movement. Some educators also find value in teaching children to read historic documents and family letters from past generations (世代)”可知，本段在介绍学习草书带来的好处。故选B。

Big Data and You
Big data（数据） is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns（模式） in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media（媒体）sites, companies, and governments. One set of data can have people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go, and how much time they spend on the computer.
Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra（额外的）help in class. The teachers can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in panies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.
Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict（预测）if a baby who was born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.
How can big data be used for good and bad things It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think in a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.

A．Schools that you come from. B．Places that you get things from.
C．Answers that you try to look for. D．Companies that you care about.
69．How can schools help students with big data according to Paragraph 2
A．By recording how they get to school. B．By checking if they were born early.
C．By finding out who needs extra help. D．By asking what ice cream they buy.

How can you remember a song for a long time Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English There is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers (研究者) are studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things in a catchy (悦耳易记的) and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song,” said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog (博客), Dr. Ludke wrote, “A listen-and-repeat singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area.”
Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D．C．, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids, we usually use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better.”

Starting this year, six-to-twelve-year olds in California will be required to learn cursive handwriting. It was left out for many years because typing on computer keyboards was taught. It comes back again. Assembly Bull 446《446 号议会法案》requires that handwriting be taught to 2.6 million Californian students in grades one through six. And it requires cursive lessons in grades three and above.
Cursive is a kind of handwriting in which all the letters in a word are connected to each other. California Governor (州长) signed the bill into law in October, 2023. California grade school students are being required to learn it this year, in Fullerton, California, U. S. January 23rd, 2024.
Experts say learning cursive improves brain development, reading skills, and hand movement. Some educators also find value in teaching children to read historic documents and family letters from past generations (世代).
Keller teaches grades four to six at a primary school in Fullerton. She began to teach cursive learning last winter. She did it before the law took effect (生效) on January 1st, 2024. Some children complain about the difficulty, but Keller has a ready answer. “We tell them, well, it’s going to make you smarter, it’s going to make some connections in your brain, and it’s going to help you move to the next level. Students want to be smarter so they want to learn,” Keller said. During a recent visit to the school library, Keller said one student got excited seeing a picture of the U. S. Constitution (宪法), written in 1787, saying “It’s cursive!”
Several of Keller’s students say the subject was difficult, like the letter Z, but they enjoyed it anyway. “I love it. It’s fun to learn new letters.” said Sophie, a 9-year-old in the fourth grade. In teacher Naney’s class, one of her third-grade students, Andrew said, “It’s fun. Now I can read my mom’s writing and it’s for my secrets.”

Big Data and You
Big data（数据） is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns（模式） in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media（媒体）sites, companies, and governments. One set of data can have people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go, and how much time they spend on the computer.
Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra（额外的）help in class. The teachers can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in panies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.
Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict（预测）if a baby who was born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.
How can big data be used for good and bad things It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think in a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.
