Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.

Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.

No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.

Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.

51. What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history?

A. The art began from 1,500 B.C.

B. The works of art ended in the 1950s.

C. Most people shown in the works of art are right-handed.

D. Most people shown in the works of art are left-handed.

52. How many people in the world are left-handed now?

A. About 10%-15%.                                         B. About 50%.

C. About 40%.                                                        D. The passage doesn’t tell us.

53. What is the left hand for most people used to do?

A. It’s used to work with things.

B. It’s used to find or hold things.

C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.

D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.

54. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.

B. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.

C. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.

D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.

55. The best TITLE for this passage is _______.

A. Scientists’ New Inventions                                   B. Left-handed People

C. How Brains Control Hands                            D. Which Hand 

“Lizzie, there’s a letter for you!” Emily called up the stairs to her sister. Lizzie looked down. “Is it from Harvard? They refused my application（申请）once.” Emily answered, “No, it’s from Yale.” Quickly, Lizzie walked downstairs. She took the letter and opened it. “Rejected again,” Lizzie said unhappily. “Who says women can’t be doctors?”

　 “They are fools not to accept you. You can’t let them stop you, Lizzie,” Emily said.

“I won’t. I’ll apply to Geneva Medical College,” Lizzie told her sister. As it turned out, the professors at Geneva Medical College were not fools. They allowed Lizzie Blackwell to study medicine.

In 1848, a year before Lizzie would graduate, a typhoid epidemic (伤寒流行病) broke out in New York. Lizzie wrote to Emily. “There’s an outbreak (爆发) of typhoid, and I am going to help. It is dangerous, so if I die, please do me the honor of studying medicine yourself.”

Emily replied, “Encouraged by your dream and success, I have decided to study in medical school, as well.”

Having survived the disease, Lizzie tried to set up a private medical practice. “I graduated first in my class but no one believes a woman can be a good doctor,” she said to Emily one day. “All I hear is that doctors should be men, while women should stay home to cook and clean.”

Emily said worriedly, “I will graduate in June with my medical degree. What shall we do?” Lizzie thought for a while and replied, “There’s a big house in the poor part of our town. We can provide medicine there for people who couldn’t afford care.”

Soon with the help of some friends, Lizzie and Emily bought the house and opened a hospital for poor women and children. “We’ll have an all-women staff (员工),” Lizzie said. “And later, we’ll set up a medical college for women!” Emily added. At last, Lizzie realized her dream of being a doctor.

46. Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined word “Rejected”?

A. Refused.　　　　　　　　 B. Praised　　　　　　　　　　 C. Changed.　　　　　　　　 D. Accepted.

47. How did Emily feel when she heard Lizzie’s words about the letter from Yale?

A. Excited.　　　　　　　　　 B. Happy.　　　　　　　　　　 C. Satisfied.　　　　　　　　 D. Angry.

48. Who thought women could be doctors according to the passage?

A. Professors at Harvard.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Professors at Yale.

C. Professors at Geneva Medical College.　　　　　 D. All of the above.

49. In 1848, Lizzie wrote to Emily to _____.

A. persuade Emily to come to help the sick

B. ask Emily to study medicine if she died

C. warn Emily the danger of typhoid epidemic

D. tell Emily she would graduate from college

50. Which of the following can best be used to describe Lizzie?

A. Humorous.　　　　　　　　 B. Honest.　　　　　　　　　 C. Determined.　　　　　　 D. Careful.
