in various ways, leading to disorders known as dyslexia and dysgraphia（读写障碍）. two new studies, published in a recent special issue of elseviers cortex provide evidence of this variety, suggesting that effective treatment needs to take it into account.a group of researchers from the universities of bari and rome in italy studied the reading and writing abilities of 33 italian dyslexic children, comparing their performance with that of children with normal reading ability. italian is an orthographically transparent language, meaning that letters tend to correspond to the same sounds, whereas many letters in the english alphabet change their sound from word to word (like the c in car and city). however, the new study showed that even in italian, in which it is relatively straightforward to convert sounds into letters, children still have difficulty in spelling. younger children with dyslexia generally performed worse than proficient readers; however, the older ones showed a more selective impairment when spelling words, suggesting that knowledge of vocabulary may be more important in spelling than previously thought.the other study, from tel aviv university, israel, provided the first systematic description of a type of reading disorder called attentional dyslexia in which children identify letters correctly, but the letters jump between words on the page, e.g., kind wing is read as wind king. teachers and neuron-psychologists often notice that children substitute letters when reading, but in this type of dyslexia the substitutions are not caused by inability to identify letters or convert them into sounds; they result from migrations of letters between words. the findings showed that letters would mostly migrate to the same position in another word, so the first letter of one word would switch places with the first letter of another word. awareness to the existence of this type of dyslexia is important, because it suggests a straightforward way to assist these children in reading by presenting a single word at a time, e.g., with the help of a word-sized window cut in a piece of cardboard.58. we know from the first new study that _.a. italian is easier to learn in comparison with english b. knowledge of vocabulary has a close link with spellingc. in italian each letter has only one correspondent sound d. children with normal reading ability have no trouble in converting letters into sounds59. as is inferred from the passage, _.a. many people cannot distinguish learning to read and learning to writeb. converting letters into sounds is more difficult than the other way round c. younger children usually have a poorer knowledge of vocabularyd. in the past not enough attention is paid to knowledge of vocabulary60. in “attentional dyslexia”, children _.a. do not pay enough attention to the meaning of each wordb. are not capable of telling letters apartc. can not change letters into sounds accordingly d. tend to transfer the first letter from one word to anothercmy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. i was born and raised in america, and this was miami, where i live, but they werent quite ready to let me in yet.“please wait in here, ms abujaber,” the immigration officer said. my husband, with his very american last name, accompanied me. he was getting used to this. the same thing had happened recently in canada when id flown to montreal to speak at a book event. that time they held me for 45 minutes. today we were returning from a literary festival in jamaica, and i was startled that i was being sent “in back” once again.the officer behind the counter called me up and said, “miss, your name looks like the name of someone whos on our wanted list. were going to have to check you out with washington.”“how long will it take?”“hard to say . a few minutes,” he said. “well call you when were ready for you.” after an hour, washington still hadnt decided anything about me. “isnt this computerized?”i asked at the counter. “cant you just look me up?”just a few more minutes, they assured me.after an hour and a half, i pulled my cell phone out to call the friends i was supposed to meet that evening. an officer rushed over. “no phones!” he said. “for all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.”“im just a university professor,” i said. my voice came out in a squeak.“of course you are. and we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”i put my phone away.my husband and i were getting hungry and tired. whole families had been brought into the waiting room,
