Three months later, they gave birth to Samantha. Unluckily, she was born entirely deaf. The neighbourhood
9、 was still excited to welcome little Samantha, of course, but they were worried about her parents.The neighbours wanted to do something to make things easier for the family. All the neighbourhood agreed to take on the responsibility of learning an entirely second language all for their youngest memb
10、er. Samantha would grow up learning to “speak” American Sign Language, so her friends and neighbours would learn to speak it right along with her. The group of 18 residents employed a sign language teacher and the whole neighbourhood except Glenda and Raphael Savitz began to learn American Sign Lang
11、uage in a neighbours big living room. They believed people everywhere wished to have a community with something positive around and Samantha was bringing about a reason for them to get together.The neighbours went on learning hard and kept things secret for as long as possible. They wanted thirstily
12、 to communicate with the little girl. Finally, the time had come to show Raphael, Glenda, and Samantha what they had done.

17、those born to take life by the right hand, say researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles.The reason is that right-handers have genes that force their brains into a slightly more one-sided structure, according to the research. Left-handers appear to be missing those genes.There really
18、is a difference in brains that results in a more symmetric (对称的) brain in left-handers, where the two sides are more equal, said Daniel Geschwind, who led the research team.In the effort to understand how the brain shapes the mind, researchers have been trying to document the way genes and environme
19、nt affect intelligence and mental abilities. They found that right-and left-handedness is determined by genetics. If a person has the gene for right-handedness, that person will be right-handed. People who do not have that gene, however, can be either left- or right-handed. There is no specific gene
20、 for left-handedness.Right-handers typically have a larger left brain, where their language abilities are concentrated. Conversely, left-handers have more balanced brains. The language abilities of left-handers more often, are concentrated on the right side.The UCLA researchers conducted brain scans
21、 on 72 pairs of male identical (同卵双生的) twins between 75 and 85 years old. They noticed that if identical twins carry the gene for hand preference, both must be right-handed. If they lack the gene, one twin can develop right-handed while the other can develop left- handed.The researchers found that t
22、he brains of identical right-handed twins were very similar in size and structure. But when a left-hander was part of the twin set, the brains were different. The conclusion, researchers said, is that the absence of the gene for hand preference allows the brain to develop differently as the individu

D The age of technology is a great and convenient thing, but it does have effects on us in many different ways.It causes long-term memory loss. Thanks to Baidu, we dont really have to remember m
26、uch of anything. Questions are answered at the drop of a hat because Baidu is all-knowing! Is that a good thing, though? People arent digging through their brains anymore to find answers. Heres the good news: we can still exercise our long-term memory by simply thinking before we Baidu. If we dont w
27、ant to go down that road, we can search Baidu for some memory games to play. Turn Baidu into an asset instead of an enemy.It makes us lack patience. Baidu gives us what we want. Everything is instant. In fact, if we have to wait for even a handful of minutes for anything, we start losing our minds.
28、This idea of instant satisfaction carries through to many other aspects of our lives, too, like when we go out to eat, drive in traffic, or even deal with workplace accidents. Instead of using Baidu to lessen our anger, try searching for some mindful meditations (沉思).Focus on our breath and realize
29、everything doesnt have to move at lightening speed. We can actually listen to some peaceful spa or meditation music on our Pandora, too!It wastes our time. Be honest, how much time are we spending on Baidu every day? Whether were doing research for our own personal needs, buying clothing, or writing
30、 a research paper, we all spend a ton of time on the trusty Internet. Are we always being efficient with this time? For the sake of our precious time, if we havent used Baidu Drive, we should keep spreadsheets, text docs, PDFs, slideshows, and even recordings exactly where we can easily find them. K
31、eep a running list of websites we know well revisit.Overall, things are different these days. Yes, there are noticeable negative side effects because of the Baidu invasion, but we dont have to fall into that trap. Stay sharp and dont let ourselves become imprisoned doing the Baidu gods bidding.12Whi
32、ch of the following can best replace the underlined part “at the drop of a hat”?A. at one pointB. in no timeC. in a wayD. at a loss13Why do we turn impatient in real life according to paragraph 3?A. We depend on ourselves too much.B. We cant get everything with Baidu.C. We cant get quick services in
