What do Napoleon, Clinton and Wang Nan have in common? They are all left-handed. Today about 15% of the people are left-handed. But why are people left-handed? The answer is the way the brain (大脑) works. The brain has two halves---the right half and the left half. The right half controls (控制) the left side of the body, and the left half controls the right side of the body. So right-handed people have a strong left brain, and the left –handed people have a strong right brain.
The two halves of the brain are about the same size. But each side controls different things. The left side controls language, Maths and logic (逻辑). When you remember new words, or when you put things in order, you use your left side.
The right side of the brain controls colour and music. It is also good at recognizing (认出) faces. This does not mean that all artists are left-handed and all accountants (会计师) are right-handed. Some right-handers have a strong right brain, and some left-handers have a strong left brain.

A.all artists are left-handed

What do you think of a forest, what do you see? Just trees? Or do you see many other things, such as singing birds, colorful plants and wild flowers?
The forest is a whole of its own. It is full of many different living things. But even though they are all different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to live on.
The trees feed the forest "people" by making food in their leaves; by using sunlight to join water and minerals from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying out, making it possible for living things to live in it.
Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the farmers to grow our food, railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks (售员)to sell it to us. We need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then, of course, we need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone operators, and many others.
We also need other human beings in another way. We need people for friendship, to talk over our problems, exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.
Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know, being a volunteer is so great!
小题1:According to the text, colorful plants and flowers live on______.
A.the leaves of the treesB.water and minerals
C.the soil and airD.all of the above
小题2:It is the ________ that make it possible for living things to live in the forest.
A.birdsB.treesC.plantsD.farmers
小题3:According to the writer, human beings are_______the forest "people".
A.likeB.dislikeC.unhappy withD.different from
小题4:The writer mainly wants to tell us ________.
A.we need people for friendship
B.the forest is a whole world of its own
C.we need one another in order to live on
D.the forest is full of different living things
小题5:Which one is the relationship (关系) between a forest and your life?
A.We are trees in the forests.
B.We like the living things in the forest.
C.We need farmers to grow our food in the forest.
D.We are the same as the forest: we need each other to live on.
