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 anothercmarc had worked in the city halls engineering department for so long that the city was laid out in his mind like a map，full of names and placesand then something happened that filled him with shock one august afternoon，he discovered a card saying green bottle street at the back of the drawerhe checked the listed detailsit was not thereit was a lost，a forgotten street，which existed in the heart of montreal，not half a mile from city hall，and no one had knownhe put the card in his pocket and the next day he went looking for the street with beating heart at his first glance，marc realized how it had gotten its unusual nameit was exactly like a bottle in shapewith the sun shining on the garden plots，and the blue sky overhead，the street gave him a sense of peacea woman some sixty years of age was watering roses in the garden of the first house to his right he announced，“im from the city engineering department，madam” the woman recovered herself and set her watering can down “so you have found out at last,” she said“we paid our taxes and made out a lot of forms and answered the questions of various officialsthen，after a while, we were sent no notices，so we paid no more taxesno one bothered us at allit was a long time before we understood that in some way theyd forgotten about us” marc noddedof course，if green bottle street had been ignored by the city hall，no inspectors would go there，no tax collectorsall would pass merrily by “for several years，the tenants(租户) here had lived in harmony with each other and the landlordthe owner became so attached to them that he gave them all he had when he diedi have lived here for more than twenty yearsi hope to end my days here as well” she smiled pleasantly at him，apparently forgetting for the moment that he carried in his pocket a bomb that could blow their little world to pieces “you remind me of my nephew,” she said suddenly“he was a dear boyi was heart broken when he diedim the last of my family, you know” marc thought of his noisy and violent landlady and neighborshe could not recall when he had been spoken to with such simple goodwillhis heart warmed to this old lady“i wonder, ”he said slowly, “i am a good tenant，and i wonder” “oh yes，”she leaned forward eagerly, “you could have the top floor of my houseim sure it would suit you” marc took the card out of his pocket and tore it across and dropped the pieces in the watering canas far as he was conce
