1．One of the strangest features of motherhood is that the vast majority of mothers prefer to cradle their babies in the left arm．Why should this be？The obvious explanation is that the majority of mothers are right handed and they wish to keep their right handed and they wish to keep their right hand free．Unfortunately，this explanation cannot apply，because left-handed mothers also favor their left arm for holding their babies．The precise figures arc 83 percent for right-handed mothers and 73 percent for left-handed mothers．
The most likely explanation is that the mother's heart is on the left side and，by holding the baby in her left arm，she is unconsciously bringing her baby closer to the sound of the heart beat．This is the sound the baby heard when it was inside the mother's womb and which is therefore an association with peace，comfort and security．
Tests were carried out in nurseries where some babies were played the recorded sound of a human heart beat，and，sure enough，went to sleep twice as quickly as the others．We also know that the sound of mother's heart is quite audible inside the womb and that the unborn baby has a well-developed hearing．
It is interesting that fathers show less of this left-side bias （偏爱） than mothers，suggesting that the human female is better programmed than her partner for carrying a baby．Alternatively，she may unconsciously adjust her holding behavior to make baby fell more secure．Some new observations on our closest animals'relatives，the chimpanzees and gorillas，have revealed that they too show a strong bias for holding their babies on the left side．The precise figures were 84 percent for chimpanzees and 82percent for gorillas，remarkably close to the human percentages．
Recently a possible additional value in cradling babies on the left side has been suggested．It has been pointed out that，because，the two sides of the brain are concerned with different aspects of behavior，it is possible that the mother，in cradling the baby to her left，is showing the baby her"best side"．It is claimed that the emotions are expressed more strongly on the left side of the human face and that she therefore gives the baby a better chance to read her emotional mood changes as it gazes up at her．Furthermore，the mother's left eye and ear are more tuned into emotional changes in her baby than her right eye and ear would be．So in addition to the baby's seeing the more expressive parts of its mother，there is further advantage that the mother is herself more sensitive to the left-held baby．This may sound far-fetched，but just possibly，it could provide a slight extra benefit for those mothers displaying the strange one-sided bias when cradling their infants．
How does a bias occur？Do the mothers have an instinctive preference for it，or do they learn it by trial and error，unconsciously adjusting the position of the babies until the babies are calmer？The surprising answer is that it seems to be the baby not the mother who controls the bias．Observation of new born infants when they were only a few hours old revealed that they come into the world with a pre-programmed tendency to turn their head to the right．If the new born baby is gently held in a dead central position and then released，it naturally swings to the right far more often than to the left．This happens in nearly 70percent of babies．This may be only a part of explanation，because the holding bias is 80percent not 70percent，but it adds a further intriguing chapter to the story．

20．When Breath Becomes Air gives an autobiography about Paul Kalanithi's experiences as a doctor and as a terminally ill patient．The book discusses Kalanithi's longtime fascination with questions of human biology，mortality （生命的有限），and meaning．It then examines how these questions are heightened by the author's own confrontation （冲突） with lung cancer，sickness，and death．
Kalanithi's father was a doctor from New York City．The family moved to Kingman，Arizona，so that his father could pursue his medical career when Paul was young．His father worked long hours and was rarely home，which convinced young Paul that the last thing he wanted to do was to become a doctor himself．Paul's mother was concerned about the weak school system in Kingman，and so e a long list of literary classics which she made Paul and his brothers read．As a result，Paul became fascinated by literature．He attended Stanford University，from which he graduated in 2000 with a B．A．and M．A．in English Literature and a B．A．in Human Biology．He earned an M．Phil in History Philosophy of Science and Medicine from the University of Cambridge．In 2007，Paul graduated from the Yale School of Medicine with the highest honors．He returned to Stanford for residency training （住院医生实习） in Neurological Surgery．As he neared the end of his 7-year residency he was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer．The hopes and dreams he and Lucy，his wife，have held to are dramatically changed．
When Breath Becomes Air gives an account of Kalanithi's transformation from an innocent medical student troubled by the question of"what，given that all organisms die，makes a virtuous and meaningful life"into a young neurosurgeon （神经外科医生） at Stanford，guiding patients toward a deeper understanding of death and illness，and finally into a patient and a new father to a baby girl，confronting his own mortality．What makes life worth living in the face of death？What do you do when the future，no longer a ladder toward your goals in life，flattens out into a continuous present？What does it mean to have a child，to care for a new life as another fades away？These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this deeply moving，delicately observed autobiography．
Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015，while working on this book，yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all．"I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality，in a sense，had changed nothing and everything，"he wrote．"Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head：'I can't go on．I'll go on．'"When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable，life-confirming reflection on the challenge of facing mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient，from a gifted writer who became both．
