问题     Children who grip their pens too close to the writing point are likely to be at a disadvantage in examinations,【C1】________to the first serious investigation into the way in which writing technique can dramatically affect educational achievement.
    The survey of 643 children and adults, ranking from pre-school to 40-plus, also suggests【C2】________pen-holding techniques have deteriorated sharply over one generation, with teachers now paying far【C3】________attention to correct pen grip and handwriting style.
    Stephanie Thomas, a learning support teacher【C4】________findings have been published, was inspired to investigate this area【C5】________he noticed that those students who had the most trouble with spelling【C6】________had a poor pen grip.

"The 30-year-old showed a huge diversity of grips,【C20】________the over 40s group all had a uniform ’ tripod’ grip.

答案difference
