But if they usethe computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese character when writingon paper. Experts suggestpeople, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, studentsstart using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence ismore wide-spread among university students. Almost all their assignments andessays are typed on a computer.All the students interviewed say they usually use acomputer.It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. Andthat’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’trem ember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen andpaper.”Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about.Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a comput er, why botherto handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmasterof a famous primary school in the capital, said, “Chinese characters enjoyboth practical and aesthetic（审美的）value. But those characters typed withcomputer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beautyof the characters is lost.

A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, orworry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremelyuncomfortable; thus efforts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in othercultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding aperso n’s needs.Many Native Americans value silence andfeel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditionalChinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of thesecultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied is that the person wants the listenerto think about what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silenceis a call for thinking.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularlywhen dealing with disagreements among people or in relationships of people withdifferent amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish personsmay use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic underdiscussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authorityrather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still anotheruse, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect,particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to notice the possiblemeanings ofsilence when they come across the personal worries their patientsmay be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and culturalconstruction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not disturbed too earlyor allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use thisunderstanding to help in the care of patients from their own and from othercultures.（1）Which of the following people might take silence as a call for careful thought?A .
