They listened to the same classes and were told to use their usual notetaking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the laptop users performed worse at remembering and using the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.In another experiment aimed at testing longterm memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the class. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed much better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to a better performance in the future.（1）The students who prefer laptops for notetaking want to _. A . memorize more conceptsB . understand concepts betterC . get higher scoresD . take notes quickly and clearly（2）While taking notes, hand-writers are more_ than laptop users. A . skillfulB . tirelessC . thoughtfulD . mindless（3）The purpose of this passage is to _. A . find the differences between the laptop users and hand-writersB . suggest taking notes by handC . explain why students perform better on exams by taking notes by hand than by laptopD . suggest the use of laptops（4）The structure of the passage is _.
