Though priced over 1000 dollars, it sold quite well. It was meant to act as a “panion” for older people. Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat. Researchers at Brown39。 Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person pany and helps them remember to take their medicine. That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

It activates a different part of the brain, and improves fine moving skills in young children.”可知手寫對大腦有益。t read the assignments she was writing on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying handwriting should be taught in schools.”可知田納西的一位老師發(fā)現她的一些學生讀不出寫在黑板的作業(yè),所以選C。(1)考查細節(jié)理解。D.Unconcerned.B.Opposed.Those with good handwriting may perform better in their studies.(4)What is the author39。Handwriting is emphasized in our modern society.B.Handwriting is widely used in America.D.Handwriting is beneficial to the brain.C.Some students handwriting on the blackboard was too difficult to tell.(2)Why do some people agree to teach handwriting in school?
