9、ell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them, which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life.Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979.

15、s so very wrong. There are many things that a Google search cannot show about Sweden.The first is fika. A fika is taking a break from whatever you are doing to enjoy a coffee with friends. Swedes value community highly so it makes sense that they would like to set aside time each day to reconnect wi
16、th others. Fika is a great time to meet new people as well as catch up with friends.I grew up in the American South where everyone is very friendly. I found that little things like not being asked my life story at the coffee shop by the waiter upset me. However, Swedish people are not rude. Instead,
17、 they practice being logom, which means “just enough”.The winters can be very dark and cold, so the Swedish people do not take any sunny day for granted. Since the weather has been fine, I have found myself walking a lot around Stockholm. Often it is easiest to get from place to place by walking, wh
18、ich allows you to see so much of the city and enjoy the fresh air.

22、 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 hist
23、ory. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons 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
24、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 persons 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.
25、 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 pe
26、ople become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesnt 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 t
27、he 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-
28、handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to.12. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _.A. the art began from 1,500 B.C.B. the works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of ar
29、t are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed13. What is the left hand for most people used to do?A. Its used to find or hold things.B. Its used to work with things.C. Its used to make a persons eyes work together.D. Its the centre for thinking and doing problems.14. Acc
30、ording to the passage which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become le
