As computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes (笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.

Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.

It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.

―When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.‖

―I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.‖

Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?

Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, ― Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But those

characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.‖

To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

72. The underlined expression ―taking stock in‖ in paragraph 4 probably means___. A. getting bored with B. becoming crazy about C. getting dependent on D. getting curious about

73. Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting? A. Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence. B. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotions.

C. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.

D. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting. 74. The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because____. A. computers have become a trend and fashion in China B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character D. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently 75. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing. B. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand. C. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters. D. To Type or to Handwrite.

Shop smartly Food Safety in the Home 76. Prevention food poisoning starts with your trip to the supermarket. Pick up your packaged and canned foods first. Buy cans and jars that look perfect. Look for any expiration dates on the labels and never buy outdated food. Likewise, check the ―use by‖ or ―sell by‖ date on dairy products such as cottage cheese, cream cheese, yogurt, and sour cream and pick the ones that will stay fresh longest in your refrigerator. 77. After shopping, get home as soon as you can. Then put food into the refrigerator or freezer right away. Make sure to set the refrigerator temperature to 40℉ and the freezer to 0℉. Check temperatures with a thermometer. Place raw meat and seafood in containers in the refrigerator to prevent their juices from dripping on other foods. Eggs always go in the refrigerator. 78. Wash hands and surfaces often. Bacteria can be spread throughout the kitchen and get onto cutting boards and counter tops. To prevent this, wash hands with soap and hot water before and after handling food, and after using the bathroom or handling pets. Wash everything else before and after it touches food. Wash cloths before you use them again for anything else. 79.

Cook food thoroughly until it is done. For example, cooked red meat looks brown inside. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of meat, poultry, casseroles and other food. Use a thermometer with a small-diameter stem. Insert the thermometer 1 to 2 inches into the center of the food and wait 30 seconds to ensure an accurate measurement. Check temperature in several places to be sure the food is evenly heated. 80. Use clean containers to store and serve food. When a dish is empty or nearly empty, replace with fresh container of food, removing the previous container. Place cold food in containers on some ice. Place the container inside a deep pan filled with ice to keep food cold. Once food is thoroughly heated on stove top, oven or in microwave oven, keep food hot by using a heat source. Place food in chafing dishes, preheated steam tables, warming trays and / or slow cookers. 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分30分）

One night, I went to a store to buy the shirt. The shop assistant showed me several shirts to choose. I had no idea what one would suit me. At last, I made up my mind to buy an expensive shirt, thinking that it might go well with my new trousers. On my way to home, I was very exciting. However, before I got up the next day, trying on the shirt and looked at it in the mirror, my excitement was gone. I found that was not so nice at home as it is in the store.
