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.

An Unusual School Brings the Outside In

Pupils in Madrid, Spain have helped to design a school that is connected to nature. Reggio School is a six-storey building featuring a drawbridge entrance, walls made from mashed cork (软木泥) which provide a home for insects and an indoor rainforest. The school was designed by Andris Jaque, who asked pupils for bright ideas. "I want it to be as colorful and playful as a child's imagination." Andres said. 

    ▲    

Starting in the 2023-24 school year, students in a northern Indiana school district (学区) will only be allowed to use clear bags at school. And each student will get one clear bag for free. This measure (措施) has been taken to improve safety in schools. It may help stop certain students from bringing dangerous objects such as guns with them to school. 

The ‘Dazing Zone' at a Chinese University

Guangdong University of Finance and Economics has set up six "dazing zones (发呆区)" in its library for students to relax and get inspiration (灵感). Such zones are equipped with desks. chairs and plants, where students can overlook beautiful scenery, think, communicate, eat and rest. "The zones are designed to guide students over the best way to refresh themselves other than to escape from important tasks or projects." says Wang Zhongsheng, the head of the library. 

 阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的 A-D四个选项中选择正确的选项,将其序号填入第1-4题,并回答第5题。

How to Ride a Bicycle in Traffic

Cycling in traffic is something that seems dangerous but can be quite safe as long as you follow the rules of the road, exercise alertness(机敏) and common sense. Here are some tips for you. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} A helmet (头盔) won't prevent accidents. But it can protect your head from serious hurt if you are in an accident. That's why it's always safer to wear it when cycling. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} So always have lights if it is not very bright out, and if you cycle in the evening, reflective(反光的) clothing is a great idea. The easier you are to be seen, the less possible you are to be hit. 

If you're an inexperienced cyclist, it isn't a good idea to throw yourself in the heavy traffic. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Pick some quiet back streets and get used to being around cars and other road traffic. Gradually build up your stamina (耐 力) on larger roads by practising on them on quiet days. 

You should always pay attention to the rules of the road. Always ride with the traffic. Stay off sidewalks, stop for red lights, stop at stop signs, and follow all other traffic signs.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Your good habits can help improve others' safety awareness. 

Avoid doing things that will affect your ability to hear cars coming up behind you. If you need to talk on your mobile phone, stop and pull over. Don't listen to music or radio. Some cars are very difficult to hear, so you need to pay careful attention to not being run over by them. 

A. The wearing of helmets is a requirement in many countries. 

B. Don't jump the lights no matter how many other cyclists do it. 

C. Start from the easy streets. 

D. Most accidents happen when drivers haven't noticed a cyclist.

What do you think of these tips? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
