11.Every year in America,high-school students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test,or SAT in a shortened way.Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all.The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one's mathematical ability and use of the English language.Traditionally,the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.But the SAT folks have added a single question,to be answered in an essay,hand-written on the spot.That's an interesting way to test writing ability,but content aside,have you ever seen young people's handwriting lately?Or anyone's for that matter,in this age of computer keyboards?Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks.They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word.
Yet today's kids are asked to write,thoughtfully and clearly,for several minutes on this SAT Test.Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的字迹) of young people who've been typing on computers since the age of three!Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one's score on the SAT,but also,later on in life,impress potential employers.And don't forget,we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time,as computers go down when power goes out.
Then how to improve the handwriting?Well,with a few simple steps you can improve your hand writing.
Position the pen.You should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb,then rest it near the first knuckle (指节) of the middle finger.The rest of your fingers should be curled (卷曲) under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed.
Evaluate your writing.Make changes to your letters till you like how they look.
Take your time.Speed is bound to make your writing messy-looking.
Practice.Practice it a lot; it's not enough to do it once and hope for the best.It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.

6.According to Paragraph 3,students with good handwriting skillD.
