陈世杰回答：

　　56题选不对的,B选项Printingistaughtinpreferencetowritingincursive的意思是在教学中,打印（体）优先于草书.原文中Americanchildrentraditionallyfirstlearntoprint,andthentowriteincursive,whichconnectstheletters跟这个意思是相符合的.而C.Handwritingistaughtforitsownsake.书法是为了自己本身的目的而学的,原文中说的是传统书法并不是为了某个特定的用途去学,而只是现在的专家认为（建议）theysayitshouldbeusedasawaytogetstudentstoexpressideas.学书法并用来表达思想.所以应该选C 　　57.Somepeoplemightthinkhandwritingisnotimportantanymorebecauseofcomputersandvoicerecognitionprograms.原文中明确表示了原因“becauseofcomputersandvoicerecognitionprograms.”
