According to a study done by the University of Florida, 1． students read affects the level of writing they achieve. In the study, researchers surveyed students about their reading materials, and they also took a writing sample from their cover letters. Upon analyzing their 2． (finding), researchers concluded that students who read academic journals and literary fiction scored 3． (high) in measures of writing complexity than 4． who primarily read popular fiction or web content 5． (publish) on sites. Although the study didn’t investigate why a link between reading material and writing ability exists, the authors suggest our writing may 6． (simple) mimic (模仿) what we read.

7．, Andrew Jarosz, a psychology professor at Mississippi State University, says this study had a relatively small sample size and that it’s too soon to conclude that the complexity of the material we read affects the complexity of our writing.

“It could indeed be that reading complex materials 8． (lead) to more complex writing,” he said. “Alternatively, what if people who are better writers prefer to read complex materials that mirror their own writing abilities? That is, it is entirely possible that the relationship goes 9． the other direction.”

Jarosz says other variables (可变因素), 10． (include) intelligence and the ability to store and process information at the same time, may also be responsible for why some people write at a higher level than others.
