12、some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesnt matter whether foods are eaten raw(生的) or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesnt matter if a person eats dinner at 4 oclock in
13、the afternoon or at eleven oclock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.Paragraph 3There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first is to find some ways to feed the worlds population so that no one is hungry.The second is to make sure that peo

In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people show
20、n 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 worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands e
21、ach have their own jobs. For most people, the 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 persons hands and eyes work together, controls the lef
22、t 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 know
23、s 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 doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become
24、 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 comm
25、on than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual.

30、我们可知现在世界人口中有10%15%的人是 left-handed，那么与此数接近的应该是 less than one sixth(不到六分之一)。3. A。细节题。根据文章第2段第3句可知对大多数人而言，手用来 find or hold things。4. B。判断题。根据文章内容，惯用左手的人比惯用右手的人聪明是没有依据的。5. C。主旨题。文章告诉我们：有些人习惯用右手做事，有的人习惯用左手做事， 而这种差异到底是怎样产生的呢？没有知道真正的原因，所以选 C。(4)“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”That
