Part III    Reading Comprehension 阅读理解 (40 points)

Passage One

Writing is not an easy skill. It is both mental and physical. A person must be able to move the muscles in the hands and fingers to form letters and numbers. Some people are not able to move these muscles easily. Experts say teachers should suspect dysgraphia(书写困难) if they see handwriting that is unusually difficult to understand.

Children with dysgraphia often hold their writing tools in an unusual position. They may also place the paper in an odd position for writing. The disorder generally appears when they first learn to write. Children continue to write wrong or misspelled words, even after their teacher has shown them the correct way.

Experts say the cause of the disorder is not known. Some people with dysgraphia are able to improve their writing ability. But others are not. As with other disorders, the most important part of treatment is for someone to first identify the problem.

There are some simple methods to help these children. For example, schools can give them more time to complete writing activities. Students might be permitted to type their work. They do not have to write by hand. Teachers can also permit students to take exams by speaking the answers instead of writing them.

Experts say people with dysgraphia may be able to write well if they work slowly and develop their skills. Technology can help. One way to avoid the problem is to use a computer. Students can use the computer spell checker to help make sure every word is correct.
