  • 阅读理解。
         A few years ago I had an "aha!" moment regarding handwriting.
         I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort
    of editorial task.It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting,and then I realized
    whose it must be.I finally became aware of the fact that I had beenworking with this colleague
    for at least a year,maybe two,and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.
         It was a very important event in the computerization of life-a sign that the informal.Friendly
    communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant
    messages and emails.There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters,and we
    recognized one another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.
         As a child visiting my father's office,I was pleased to recognize,in little notes on the desks of
    his staff,the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge-except
    that those notes were signed "dad" instead of "RFW".
         All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting,a book
    by Florey.Sire shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of
    schools to teach children to write well,but many others argue that people in a digital age can't be
    expected to learn to hold a pen.
         I don't buy it.
         I don't want to see anyone cut off from the expressive,personal associations that a pen still
    promotes better than a digital keyboard does.For many a biographer,part of really getting to know
    their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.
         What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the
    handwriting of 16th-century Italy.That may sound impossibly grand-as if they want kids to learn to
    draw by copying classical paintings.However,they have worked in many school systems.
    1.Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague's handwriting?

    A.He had worked with his colleague long enough.
    B.His colleague's handwriting was so beautiful.
    C.His colleague's handwriting was so terrible.
    D.He still had a lot of work to do.

    2.People working together in an office used to           .
    A.talk more about handwriting
    B.take more notes on workdays
    C.know better one another's handwriting
    D.communicate better with one another
    3.The author's father wrote notes in pen           .
    A.to both his family and his staff
    B.to his family in small letters
    C.to his family on the fridge
    D.to his staff on the desk
    4.According to the author,handwritten notes           .
    A.are harder to teach in schools
    B.attract more attention
    C.are used only between friends
    D.carry more message
    5.We can learn from the passage that the author           .
    A.thinks it impossible to teach handwriting
    B.does not want to lose handwriting
    C.puts the blame on the computer
    D.does not agree with Florey

         I used to be the messiest person alive.Over  the  years, through  watching  others  and  by
    trial and error,I have finally found ways to come up with plans,organize them and follow through
    with them.
         Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen.Make a
    list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.
         Detail everything thorougy and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental
    solutions of how to carry out your plans.
         You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn't work,you have way two and
    way three to lean back on.Therefore,different ways are needed at hand.It's just a matter of
    being organized.Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things,and chances
    are that if one of those ways doesn't work,one of the other ones will.
         Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary.
    It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling,but that you are interested in the
    results obtained with making the move to get everything done.
         If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time,make sure that you carry that out,
    and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would,within the time frame you set for
    yourself.
          Don't try to tackle more things all at a time.All that does is delay your progress,distract you
    and make you lose your interest,motivation and energy.
         Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible.You will only achieve
    this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.
         Last but not the least,you should never abandon things mid?project.It will only annoy everyone
    around you including yourself.Unfinished plans are a waste of time,energy and,in some cases,even
    money.
         So,don't be afraid of organization.The older we get,the more necessary it becomes to have the
    skills necessary to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized
    and manageable way.It pays to be organized,after all.
