Are You Right Handed or Left Handed
Which hand do you use when you write About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed. They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment:Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don’t be surprised if you feel awkward(别扭的).
In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write.
What causes people to be left handed or right handed Experts have searched long and hard on this. They concluded(得出结论)that left-handed people are left handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed. One out of every ten people just is a left-hander. It s simply like the color of our eyes—some people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes.
However, many researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming.
Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers, like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney, are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually(在视觉方面). In art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed. In music, Ludwig van Beethoven was left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports.
If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed handed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago If you’re mixed handed, you can probably remember.
1.If right-handers cut up potatoes with their left hand, they will .
A.get hurt B.give up cutting
C.feel awkward D.change their tools
2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A.Causes of being left handed.

It's important to develop the healthy habits in your daily life. The following will help you become healthier and keep perfect shape.
Eat right food. A healthy diet is very important for everybody. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day. Doctors suggest that students’ breakfast should include fruit, eggs, milk, rice or noodles, because these can make them full of energy, help them listen carefully in class and keep them healthy. Eat enough for lunch and little for supper. But remember that too much sugar is bad for your teeth and blood. You shouldn't have too many sweet snacks and desserts in your diet, even though such food tastes delicious.
Keep off germs(病菌). Daily tooth cleaning helps a lot in keeping them off. Germs in the mouth are likely to enter the blood and make it easier for you to get sick.
Also, wash your hands after going to the toilet or before having a meal. And you'd better clean both hands while washing them.
Exercise often. Daily exercise can help your moods and balance(情绪和平衡度). What’s more, it’s good for bones. There are many kinds of exercise: walking or running for about 30 minutes a day, playing ball games twice or three times a week, swimming or dancing often. You can choose your favorite to practise. You will not only feel energetic but also think better after doing exercise.
Stay connected(连接). Having connection with friends is the key to keep happy. And sharing happiness and sadness, exchanging information with others can also help remember things. Having a friend or a few friends can help you feel good.

Wolves have thick grey fur. They are not very big. But they can see, hear and smell things far away. They work as a team and never kill for fun. Now they are losing their living areas. People kill them because they think wolves are dangerous to humans. I think we should take action to protect them. For example, we can build more reserves and make laws to help them.
