The initiative es children and their elderly pen pals(笔友)exchange updates about their lives,helping to build relationships between generations while also giving the children an understanding of the value of writing letters by hand—an activity that's becoming less and less common.

The school maintains a focus on handwriting throughout the years,from dedicated handwriting class in the prep school to a calligraphy club offered to the older groups. It has created something called the pen licen. It allows younger children to move from using a pencil to pen once they've reached a certain standard."There's a lot of excitement about reaching that pen licence stage," says
Johnson.
Johnson adds that developing students' writing in this way matters for their life after school:"For us, it's important that we create citizens of the future who have a t of life skills that can make them successful." The dominance of technology is a challenge,she admits, but she also believes both tools have their place."Obviously we're competing with technology continuously."she says."And I know there are people there saying you don't need to bother about handwriting becau tech is out there. But we don't e it as competing We're trying to get pupils to realize that there's a place for handwriting。and to know when it's important to u each."

A. To help children to find the meaning of handwriting.
B. To encourage children to show pity for the aged.
C. To persuade children to choo proper cours.
D. To urge children to acknowledge the audience.

D. It will cau confusion to people.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

During 25 years of follow-up.521 participants developed dementia, with most diagnod in their late 70s. Writing in Nature Communications, the scientists described how tho who routinely got six hours of sleep or less each night in their 50s and 60s were 30% more likely to develop dementia than tho who typically managed ven hours.

The study does not prove that sleeping too little caus dementia, since sleep loss itlf may be one of the earliest symptoms of the dia. But some scientists believe the results strengthen evidence that continuous poor sleep may at least contribute to the dia.
