问题     Handwriting has become a dying art, now that kids start using keyboards as soon as they begin school. But writing things out by hand may be a【B1】______ way we train our brains, several studies suggest. Writing by hand is different from typing because it requires using【B2】______to create a letter, rather than just selecting the whole letter by touching a key, says Virginia Berninger, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington. These finger movements activate large regions of the brain【B3】______thinking, memory, and language. Studies show that handwriting helps children learn letters and shapes, improves their 【B4】______of ideas, and may also boost fine-motor skills development. A study by Berninger found that in grades two, four, and six, children wrote more words, faster, and【B5】______ more ideas when writing essays by hand than when typing on a keyboard. Separate study by researchers at Indiana University found that children who practiced printing by hand had more active brains than kids who【B6】______looked at letters. It’s not just children who【B7】______writing things out by hand, says a study in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. Adults learning a new language remember its【B8】______ better if they write them out by hand than if they【B9】______ them with a keyboard. According to P. Murali Doraiswamy of Duke University, retraining people in handwriting skills could be a【B10】______ cognitive exercise as more people spend their days on the computer.
