During a heavy rainfall last night a bus carrying 42 passengers slipped off the road on Highway 28, killing 36 of the passengers and the driver. A spokesman for the Highway Patrol(巡逻队) who arrived at the
23、scene shortly after 11:30 p.m.，estimated(估计) that the accident had happened about half an hour before. The injured and the dead were sent to the nearest town of Valley View.At the point where the accident happened the road has a three-lane(三条行车线) highway with many curves(弯道). Cause of the accident h

25、ld pay attention to _.A. the careless driverB. the nearest town of Valley ViewC. Highway 28D. the road with many curvesCMost 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.
26、 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 worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know th
27、at a persons two hands each 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 to
28、gether, 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
29、 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 doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another
30、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
31、-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 dont have to.43. After studying works of art made at different times in hist
32、ory, 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 art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed44. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth.B. More than
33、a half.C. About 40%.D. The passage doesnt tell us.45. What is the 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.46. The best title for this passage
34、is _.A. Scientists New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD.
