23、If you are left-handed, you may be familiar with difficulties like eating next to a right-handed person or playing video games. It’s easy to feel alone—just 12 percent of the world’s population are left-handed, and twice as many men as women are. But don’t worry: you may have more in common with another animal—the kangaroo.
A study has suggested that wild kangaroos prefer to use their left hands for common tasks like grooming (梳洗) and feeding according to the BBC. The researchers say this is the first time that “handedness (偏手倾向) has been found in animals. The evidence comes from hours spent studying different animals in the wild.
The research confirmed (证实) for the first time that “we are not alone in the Universe; we are two humans and kangaroos”. The team also suggested that their discovery is an example of parallel evolution (平行进化). This is because handedness seems to have appeared in primates (灵长类动物) as well as the kangaroo.
And animals with hands aren’t the only ones who prefer the left or right side. Oxford University researchers have also discovered that crows (乌鸦) can be right-or left-beaked. A report showed that the birds prefer a particular side on which to hold sticks when using them to poke (捅) insects out of holes.
This is not the only piece of good news for left-handed people. It’s reported that left-handers make especially good baseball players, tennis players, swimmers, boxers and fencers (击剑运动员). Almost 40 percent of the top tennis players are left-handed, including Rafael Nadal, who has won 17 grand slam titles.
Five of the seven most recent US presidents have also been left-handed—Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
There are plenty of reasons to be excited if you’re left-handed. Who knows what’s next for you, or kangaroos?
【1】The first paragraph is written mainly to ________.
A.describe the difficulties facing left-handed people
B.show the general situation of left-handedness
C.lead to the topic of kangaroos’ handedness
D.show that there’s no need to worry if you’re left-handed
【2】Paragraphs 5—6 mainly talk about ________.
A.successful people who are left-handed
B.the advantages that left-handed people can enjoy
C.advice for left-handers on their career(职业)development
D.reasons why left-handers do well in some fields
【3】According to the passage, what does the writer think of left-handed people?
A.Not terrible.
B.Bad.
C.We don’t know.
D.Left-handed people are hard to succeed greatly.
24、 What makes you happy in life? Perhaps it is the love of your family or the friendship of your c【1】. We all want people to like us, so it is natural for us to do what we can to please others. However, we also know that this is not always possible. Life does not always run smoothly for us and mistakes o【2】happen.
What happens when you make a mistake? Do you try to h【3】the fact, or deny(否认) any responsibility? We all know that this usually makes the situation much worse. When you have made a mistake, say you are s【4】. It helps people to believe you again, and it helps to repair any damage that was caused by the mistake.
Another very important r【5】of saying you are sorry is that it helps you to gain respect for yourself again. It allows you to put a mistake behind you, and to move on with your life. Accepting responsibility also helps us to learn from our mistakes, and encourages us n【6】to repeat them in the future. Perhaps it also helps us to learn to forgive (原谅) others. Learning to say sorry is a sure w【7】to learn how to respect yourself and others.
