The (32)_ in being able to write neatly could largely be down to the (33)_ on laptops in lectures and elsewhere.“There has definitely been a(n) (34)_ trend. It is difficult for both the students and the examiners as it is harder and harder to read these scripts,” Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at the university, told The Telegraph.As a result, more and more students with poor handwriting are being (35)_ to return to university during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud to university administrators.However, some (36)_ the move, fearing the handwritten word would become a lost art.Tracey Trussell, a handwriting expert at the British Institute of Graphologists, (37)_ Cambridge to “make sure that students continue to write by hand, particularly in lectures”.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)While a female politician or first lady can use her clothing to create a favorable public image, male politicians dont have as many fashion choices to play with. But Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seems to have discovered a goldmine his socks.Hes been seen wearing “statement socks” at many public events. For example, during a NATO (北大西洋公约组织) meeting in Brussels in May, Trudeau wore one blue sock and one pink, both with the NATO symbol printed on them. And in June, he wore a pair of socks with the pattern of maple leaves a national symbol of Canada when he appeared on a TV show.The New York Times editor Vanessa Friedman praised Trudeaus play on his socks as “clever”.“Socks are subtle enough not to be distracting, but visible enough that you cant miss the point,” she wrote. “Rarely have a mans ankles said so much.”One example is a pair he wore during a meeting with Enda Kenny, then the prime minister of Ireland, in Montreal on May 4. During their meeting, Trudeau wore Star Wars socks simply because that day happened to be International Star Wars Day. If this pair of socks sent out any message, according to Vogue magazine reporter Emily Farra, that message was “just that he has a quirky side and loves George Lucas films,” she wrote.However, some say that 45-year-old Trudeaus unusual sock choices show a childish side of the prime minister that proves he isnt mature enough to be the leader of a country.But Friedman doesnt see it that way. “The socks have been a source of pride and applause on an international scale a symbol both of Mr Trudeaus ability to embrace multiculturalism and of his position as a next-generation leader not bound by old traditions,” she wrote. They have opened up possibilities for the future.56.

The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between teacher burnout and students cortisol levels (可体松水平), which are a biologicalindicatorof stress.Researchers collectedsaliva (唾液) samples from over 400 elementary school children and tested their cortisol levels. They found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more burnout, or feelings of emotionalexhaustion, students cortisol levels were elevated. Higher cortisol levels in elementary school children have been linked to learning difficulties as well as mental health problems.This suggests that stressspreadingmight be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers, said Eva Oberle, the studys lead author. Indeed,the relationship between student stress and teacher burnout is a chicken and egg question. It is unknown what came first - elevated cortisol or teacher burnout. We consider the connection between student and teacher stress a cyclical problem in the classroom.Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result ofinadequatesupport for teachers, which may impact teachers ability to effectively manage their students. A poorly managed classroom can contribute to students needs not being met and increasing stress. This could be reflected in elevated cortisol levels in students.Alternatively, stress could originate from students, who may be more challenging to teach because of increases in anxiety, behavioural problems, or special needs. In thisscenario, teachers could feel overwhelmed and report higher levels of burnout.Our study is areminderof the systemic issues facing teachers and educators as classroom sizes increase and supports for teachers are cut, said Oberle.It is clear from a number of recent research studies that teaching is one of the most stressful professions, and that teachers need adequate resources and support in their jobs in orde
