    　　Right is right. Right? But is left wrong? Well, the Romans used to think so. They thought left-handed people were mistakes of nature. Latin, the language of the Romans, had many words that expressed this view (观点) .Some words we use today still have this meaning. The Latin word“dexter”means“right”. The English word “odexterous”comes from this word. It means“handy”(clever with hands), so, right, is handy. But the Latin word for left is“sinistra”. The English word“sinister”comes from this word. Sinister means“evil”(very bad). Is it fair to call right-handed people handy and left-handed people evil? Well fair or not, many languages have words that express such beliefs. In old English, the word for left means“weak”. That isn't much of an improvement over“evil”.

    　　Not very long ago, children were often forced to write with their right hands. Doctors have since found that this can be very harmful. You should use the hand you were born to use.

    　　People who use their left hands are just starting to get better treatment. But why did they get all these bad names in the first place? One reason may be that there are not as many left-handed people as there are right handed people. There is one left-handed person for every five right-handed ones. People who are different are often thought to be wrong. But attitudes (态度) do seem to be changing. Fairminded right-handed people are finally starting to give left-handed people a hand.

    (1) The passage leads us to believe that when one writes ________.

    [　　]

    A．he can use his right hand only

    B．he can use his left hand only

    C．he can use either his left hand or his right hand

    D．he shouldn't use his left hand

    (2) Which of the following is true to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．Odexterous comes from old English.

    B．The Latin word for left is sinister.

    C．The word for left in old English is a little better than that in Latin.

    D．The word evil for left comes from Latin.

    (3) Left-handed people today are ________.

    [　　]

    A．just as weak as left-handed people of the past

    B．being treated better than those in the past

    C．thought to be strange

    D．being taught to use their right hands

    (4) “Fair-minded right-handed people are finally starting to give left-handed people a hand”means that they are ________.

    [　　]

    A．persuading them

    B．teaching them how to use their right hands

    C．starting to give them a chance and help them out

    D．shaking hands with them

    (5) What's the main idea of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．Many languages have words that express the idea that left is bad.

    B．Majorities often get good treatment.

    C．Throughout the history, left-handed people have been treated poorly.

    D．There are a lot of differences between left-handed people and right-handed people.
