    Being Left-handed in a Right-handed World

    The world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left? 1.

    The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it. 2. In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it’s kind of random.

    Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. 3. In some areas, the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example, Jesus sits at God’s right side. God’s left hand, however, is the hand of judgement. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. 4.A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.

    5.People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed, including Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Charlie Chaplin. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.

    A．In other words, left-handers are born that way.

    B．Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability.

    C．The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied.

    D．Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for ro-utine activities?

    E. Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing?

    F. In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude.

    G. Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before.

    This habit was picked from my teacher back in 1988. Back then it seemed trivial（琐碎）and not likely to make any significant influence on my life.1.

    The habit that has made the greatest influence on my life is scheduling. In my mind, it is the tiny daily habit that indeed can be life-changing. Scheduling is not just about the ordering of tasks throughout the day. 2.If you are able to design the right schedule and follow it, you are able to gain massive rewards for your work.

    3.However, everything is likely to boil down to the most precious asset（财富）, namely time. If you are able to master your time and follow the schedule, you will not lose any minute doing things that do not matter or add no value. The tiny daily habit of scheduling your day is important. In the short term, it might seem boring and inefficient. 4.It can provide you with the greatest opportunity possible.

    5.

    A. Master your time

    B. Only time will tell.

    C. Forming tiny daily habit is not an easy task for us.

    Countries may be ranked by many various groups, such as how expensive or interesting they are to foreign tourists. They can also be ranked by their openness and friendliness toward visitors. You might be shocked to find out that, for example, the USA is number 102 on the list of the least welcoming places, 140 being the most unfriendly land.

    Mongolia

    Mongolia was closed for quite some time and opened up to foreigners only 20 years ago. That’s probably the major reason why it is not yet experienced enough in hosting tourists. The country is beautiful, with huge spacious areas of land that are low populated. There local people are not yet used to being visited by foreign guests.

    Slovakia

    There are, undoubtedly, pluses as well as minuses in every country. Slovakia is not the perfect destination for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Slovakia is becoming more and more similar to the rest of European countries surrounding it. Sameness is not the best quality. As a rule, tourists want to travel and see things they have never seen before. It is good that the land’s countryside is still unique, although it is also being commercialized day by day.

    Iran

    Iran is not the best place to travel to. It is located close to Pakistan with its negative political atmosphere. Western visitors are not welcome over there and embassies (大使馆) advise against traveling to Iran. The population, contrary to the country’s government, consists of very friendly and welcoming people.

    Kuwait

    In Kuwait people are warm and friendly. It has a unique history, plenty of traditions and customs. People respect their culture and are very religious. It is a Muslim country, which means that you are not allowed to drink alcohol. If you happen to visit Kuwait during Ramadan, you will not be allowed to eat in public places, either.

    Russia

    Russia is truly a special place. It is definitely worth visiting. What you might not find attractive is the corruption and bureaucracy (官僚主义) that rule in some certain official circles. Another nuisance you should be ready for is that, as a visitor, you’ll be asked to receive an invitation. Only then will you be able to apply for a visa. Once you arrive in Russia, you’ll be warmly greeted and accepted by the local people.

    1.You’ll meet friendly people in the following countries except in _____.

    A. Iran

    B. Kuwait

    C. Mongolia

    D. Russia

    2.Which of the statements is true according to the text?

    A. You can apply for a visa for Russia at will.

    B. If you’re fond of drinking, then Kuwait is not an ideal destination.

    C. You’re not advised to travel in Iran due to its high cost.

    D. Mongolia is a beautiful country with much experience in hosting tourists.

    3.Where does this passage probably come from?

    A. A news report

    B. A lecture speech

    C. An advertisement

    D. A text book

    Seven tips to good table manners

    Whether it’s dinner at a friend’s house or a business meeting over lunch, we judge people based on their table manners. But what can you do if your kids do not behave themselves at the dinner tables? The following are seven tips to set your children on the road to good table manners:

    ●Look for the good. Instead of pointing out(指出) all the things your children do wrong, point out what they do right. Please say, for example, “ I am so proud of yu. It was wonderful the way you served yourself.”

    ●Don’t turn dinner into an unpleasant “lecture time”. That will turn kids off not only manners, but dinner, and you, too.[

    ●Check your own example. Don’t show up for dinner in just your underwear (内衣) unless you want your kids to do the same.

    ●Don’t always consider your kids lazy and dirty ones. Instead, point out the behavior in a tender way. For example: “It’s a good idea to unfold your napkin, so if food falls you won’t dirty your clothes.”

    ●Teach your kids good manners in the form of a game. One night a week, try to have a formal dinner. Try dressing up, serve a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve their sense ( 意识) of manners.

    ● Make kids understand part of the tradition. Invite guests over and let kids help serve them. This helps them indirectly learn about table manners.

    ●Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants aren’t counted(算在内). Try a nice restaurant and let kids order their own food, pay the bill and give the tip.

    1.The passage is mainly written for ____.

    A. kids B. parents

    C. hosts D. guests

    2.Which of the following should parents do to help their kids learn good table manners?

    A. Try dining out in fast food restaurants once in a while

    B. Point out what’s wrong with the kids’ behavior at dinner.

    C. Keep telling the kids how to behave themselves at dinner.

    D. Improve kids’ sense of manners by having a formal dinner at times.

    3.The kids should do the following EXCEPT _____.

    A. going to a formal dinner in underwear B. helping parents to serve the guests

    C. ordering their own food and paying the bill D. unfolding the napkin to keep their clothes clean

    4.The underlined part “turn kids off” in the second tip probably mean “_____”

    A. make kids pleased with B. make kids interested in

    C. make kids tired of D. make kids fond of
