Road Trip Apps You Need Before You Leave
Best App for Route Planning
Ever wonder how delivery drivers manage to hit so many different places in a relatively short amount of time It's because they're using an app like Road Warrior to plan their routes to be as efficient as possible. However, while many other route planning apps only take things like traffic into account, Road Warrior includes lots of other time-sucking details. The subscription options start at $10 per month.
Best App for Gas Prices
Gas prices have been something of a disaster recently, so travellers are naturally focused on finding the lowest rates whenever possible. GasBuddy is one of the most popular apps for locating affordable gas, especially on long road trips. Simply enter the starting point and destination, and then watch as all of the cheapest gas prices along your route pop up. Like many apps, there is a free version, as well as a premium (额外费用) option with added features.
Best App for Family Games and Entertainment
Sure you could listen to music or watch movies, but sometimes it's fun to throw it way back with classic travel games. The Plates Family Travel app is a modernized version of the classic license plate game. There's also a map feature that shows you exactly where you saw all the license plates on your road trip. This app is available for Apple or Google devices for free.
Best App for Planning Sightseeing
For people who aren't totally focused on getting from point A to point B in the fastest time possible, the Road Trippers app is an absolute must-have. Users can plan their trip from start to finish with as many as 150 waypoints/stops when using the premium version of the app, which costs $ 29.99 per year. It won't let you miss the famous scenic spots along the way. It estimates fuel costs, allows for RV drivers to customize routes friendly to their particular vehicle and lets the user cooperate with friends who are also on the road.

"Women do not own lands in my community except if they are able to buy one, as most of the lands in a family are passed on to the male children. So a woman who intends to own a land must be prepared to work hard."
Monica Maigari was born and raised in her native community of Madakiya, located in the southern part of Kaduna state of northwestern Nigeria. In 2014, her achievements as a farmer, community leader, and women's advocate won her recognition as an Oxfam Female Food Hero. Since that time, she has deepened her involvement in the local community while sharing her skills with influential audiences.
Monica has been a farmer for more than 30 years. Despite great challenges faced by rural women farmers, such as land accessibility, labour costs, market access, and climate change, she has achieved great success. She started with a small field for crop cultivation in 1984 then expanded into various crops and livestock farming. Like all farmers in her region, Monica's agricultural productivity is threatened by climate change. She is leading her community in adapting to the effects while challenging policymakers to act.
In November 2014, out of the 1,280 contestants nationwide, Monica won the Female Food Hero title for her innovative and leadership qualities. Against local practices, she chose to purchase farmland with her prize money in order to reduce the cost of renting a land and help plough back (把……再投资) that money into her agribusiness.
She describes the FFH as being a truly life changing experience, "I acquired several skills. I was taught the value chain. My productivity and income has steadily increased. I am more financially stable." Since her recognition from Oxfam, Monica has been in demand as a speaker throughout Nigeria and abroad, and she is now able to educate other female farmers. Realizing this yet always humble, Monica simply describes herself as "a hard-working woman devoted to encouraging women especially those less privileged to go into agriculture".
4．What does the author intend to stress in Paragraph 1
A．The challenges of having lands faced by women.
B．Monica's achievements as a women's advocate.

Recently, four professors of neuroscience were awarded the Brain Prize for their lifechanging contributions to the research on migraines (偏头痛), a disease previously not understood well.
Professor Michael Moskowitz from Harvard Medical School, Peter Goadsby from King's College London, Lars Edvinsson from Lund University in Sweden, and Jes Olesen from Rigshospitalet, Denmark, were celebrated as the recipients of the Brain Prize, the world's most distinguished award highlighting achievements in brain research. The Crow n Prince of Denmark presented the four professors with a grand prize of roughly 1.5 million dollars on October 25 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Migraines remain one of the most serious and common neurological illnesses millions around the world suffer. Studies show that women are three times more likely to experience frequent and intense migraines than men, and symptoms can last up to 24 hours. Typically, these intense head-throbbing pains are also accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), dizziness and sensitivity to sound, light, and touch.
After over forty years of research, the four professors pinpointed the major cause—chemicals released within the brain. Previously, the main causes of migraines were thought to be stress, pressure or anxiety. In 1979, Professor Michael Moskowitz discovered that headaches occur when thin nerves are found in our head and face to interact with a highly-sensitive membrane (膜) surrounding our brain, releasing chemicals called neuropeptides. These chemicals can then cause the blood vessels in our head to expand and also send pain signals to the brain. Later, research by Professor Goadsby and Edvinsson revealed that the specific neuropeptide which plays the central role in causing the intense headache is calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Then, Professor Olesen's work further confirmed that CGRP is indeed responsible for the pain, rather than a chemical produced in the brain as a result of the migraines.
The work by these scientists paves the way for developing more effective medicine. While past treatments can only temporarily stop the pain, scientists say that the newly developed drugs not only prevent migraines but also don't cause the harmful side effects patients had to endure.
8．Who received the grand prize in the country where he works
A．Jes Olesen. B．Peter Goadsby.
C．Lars Edvinsson. D．Michael Moskowitz.
9．What do we know about migraines
A．Migraines are a rare and strange illness.
B．All the symptoms of intense migraines last 24 hours.
C．Females' chance of getting migraines is higher than males'.
D．Vomiting, dizziness and sensitivity lead to migraines.
10．What is the major cause of migraines
A．Stress, pressure or anxiety.
B．A highly-sensitive membrane.
C．Chemical called neuropeptides.
D．Interactions between thin nerves.
11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear

The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas has issued a recent report in order to recommend ways to increase food donations, reduce food waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 food waste reduction goals.
Food donation can reroute eatable food—that would otherwise give off greenhouse gasses in a landfill—to those experiencing hunger. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, 3.5 million Kenyans, roughly 37 percent of the population, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Policy Atlas reports roughly 40 percent of food produced within Kenya goes to waste. But Broad Leib, Deputy Director of Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), sees some promising changes. "While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya's food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction," reports Broad Leib.
According to the Policy Atlas, motivating food donation with rewards is particularly important, which helps food donors and food recovery organizations make up for costs necessary for recovery, storing, processing, and transporting food for donation.
"A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. This increases the likelihood that much safe food will go to waste," Broad Leib tells Food Tank. However, he acknowledges Kenya's current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still edible before expiration (到期). Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces confusion by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.
Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya. It is vital for consumer education campaigns. FLPC's research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.
12．What changes does Broad Leib see
A．Kenya is not committed to reducing food loss.
B．Progress in reducing food waste is happening quickly.
C．People in Kenya no longer suffer hunger.
D．Kenya has gradually reduced its food waste.
13．What does the underlined word "edible" mean in Paragraph 4
A．Eatable. B．Affordable. C．Delicious. D．Convenient.
14．How can Kenya reduce food waste according to Broad Leib
A．By reducing food produced within the country.
B．By using double date labeling on packaged food.
C．By increasing storehouses.
D．By fighting hunger with rewards.
15．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Only the private sector is helpful in reducing food waste.
B．Bro ad Leib doesn't agree with FLPC on food waste reduction.
C．Private and public joint efforts matter around food issues.
D．Consumer education campaigns are the most important.
【答案】12．D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，报道了全球粮食捐赠政策地图集最近发布了一份报告，提出了增加粮食捐赠、减少粮食浪费和抗击饥饿的方法有助于肯尼亚实现减少粮食浪费的目标。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
12．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya's food loss index has been steadily (稳步地) reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to 1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction "虽然进展没有像需要的那样快，但肯尼亚的粮食损失指数已从2017年的1744公吨稳步下降到2018年的1531公吨，再到2019年的1446公吨，这表明粮食损失稳步改善，国家致力于减少粮食损失。可知，Broad Leib看到的变化是：肯尼亚稳步减少了食物浪费。故选D。
13．考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的"While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still edible before expiration (到期). "虽然食物可能会随着时间的推移而失去新鲜感，但在过期前仍然可食用。可知，食物在到期之前，它依然是可以食用的，划线词edible意为"可食用的"，故选A。
14．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"However, he acknowledges Kenya's current dual (双的) date labeling laws."然而，他承认肯尼亚现行的双重日期标签法；以及"Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces confusion by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors. "包装食品上的双日期标签通过定义安全和质量的日期来减少混乱。这有助于减少大量浪费和捐助者的责任。可知，Broad Leib认可肯尼亚现行的双重日期标签法，它有助于减少大量浪费和捐助者的责任，可得出Broad Leib认为使用双重日期标签能减少肯尼亚的食物浪费。故选B。
15．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya."Broad Leib认为，私营部门也可以在减少肯尼亚的粮食浪费方面发挥重要作用；以及"FLPC's research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation."FLPC的研究表明，公私合作举措有助于提高消费者和捐助者对食物浪费和食物捐赠问题的认识。可知，围绕粮食问题，私人和公共的共同努力很重要。故选C。
二、第二节 (共5 小题;每小题 2.5分,满分 12.5分)
（2024高二下·高州期中） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left 16． .
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. 17． So it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it. In other words, left-handers are born that way. In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it's kind of random.
18． The unfavourable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied. In some areas, the left hand became known as the "unclean" hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favoured hand. For example, Jesus sits at God's right side. God's left hand, however, is the hand of judgment. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude. A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. 19． .
Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before. People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well. 20． Instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.
A. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now.
B. Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability.
C. Scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families.
D. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.
E. Why do they use their left hand instead of their right hand for routine activities
F. Why do some parents force their left-handed children to be right-handed when writing
G. Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing.
【答案】16．E；17．C；18．G；19．D；20．A
【知识点】说明文；七选五；科普类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了基因可能是造成人左撇子的原因，在历史上不同文化中, 左撇子被认为是一种消极的东西，现在大多数社会和文化不再像以前那样排斥左撇子。研究发现左撇子的人更有创造力，所以左撇子的人应该以自己是左撇子面自豪。
【点评】考查七选五，本文是一篇科研类阅读，要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。
16．根据空前"The world is designed for right-handed people. but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left "这个世界是为右撇子设计的。但为什么十分之一的人更喜欢左手呢？；以及空后"The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery."这个问题的答案仍然是个谜。可知，空处是一个问题，并且承接上文询问为什么有些人习惯用左手。 E. Why do they use their left hand instead of their right hand for routine activities "为什么他们在日常活动中使用左手而不是右手？"符合语境。故选E。
17．根据空后"So it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic (基因的) component to it, In other words, left-handers are born that way."所以人们认为左撇子有遗传因素，换句话说，左撇子天生如此。可知，本段解释左撇子形成的原因是遗传。 C. Scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families. "科学家们注意到左撇子倾向于在家族中遗传。"符合语境。故选C。
18．根据空后"The unfavourable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied, In some areas, the left hand became known as the ‘unclean'hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favoured hand. For example, Jesus sits at God's right side."不同文化对使用左手的不良联想各不相同，在某些地区，左手被称为"不洁"的手。在许多宗教中，神的右手是施恩的手；以及"In some parts of Scotland, it in considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey."在苏格兰的一些地区，在旅行开始时遇到左撇子被认为是不吉利的。可知，本段主要讲述了历史上人们对左撇子的看法是负面的。 G. Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing."历史上，左撇子和惯用左手被认为是负面的东西。"符合语境。故选G。
19．根据空前"Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it in considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude. A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary." 当左手参与进来时，各种活动和经历变得粗鲁甚至是坏运气的迹象。在苏格兰的一些地区，在旅行开始时遇到左撇子被认为是不吉利的。在加纳，指向，手势，用左手拿东西被认为是不礼貌的。指路的人会把左手放在身后，必要时甚至会用右手指方向。可知，本段列举了世界上的一些地区对左手的偏见。D. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite."在一些亚洲国家，用左手吃饭被认为是不礼貌的。"符合语境。故选D。
20．根据空后"Instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in."相反，它是一个很棒的礼物，或者它是你应该引以为傲的东西。可知，空处和下文形成转折关系，说明左撇子不再是不被接受的了。 A. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now. "左撇子现在不再是一个悲伤的故事。"符合语境。故选A。

Kevin was a member of a well-known family—well respected and industrious. However, a crisis left their family penniless.
Kevin decided to leave home city and make a living by himself because his family was too poor. Before leaving, he told his father, "I want to learn the circus (马戏) performance."
His father was confused and wondered why he had such a strange idea.
What his father didn't know was that Kevin loved the circus since childhood. Every time there was news of a circus performance, he hurried home on his bicycle. He ran through the front door. "Mum, Dad," he shouted. "The circus has come to town."
He was very excited when his father took him and his sister to the circus the next day. At the circus, the audience always burst out laughing when the clowns (小丑) appeared. The attraction of the circus was endless.
He clearly remembered once they went and sat down, a lady in a shiny costume walked a tightrope. When a boy of Kevin's age rode a unicycle (独轮脚踏车), he asked for a volunteer. Kevin raised his hand and he was picked. The boy taught Kevin to ride a unicycle. The audience clapped. He had a great time at the circus!
His father was unhappy with his answer, "What No, you can't do that. A circus is the place for clowns. Our family will be ashamed of you."
But Kevin insisted. "Our family is so poor now. Which is more important to you, dignity or food I will give you some money every month from the circus. It probably will be a huge fortune." His father was very stubborn (固执的). "If you go there, somebody will know about it very soon and I'll be very embarrassed, and it must be really tough to be skilled at performing such tricks."
However, Kevin still left home and found a circus to stay regardless. He worked very hard studying magic and lived with animals. Every month, his parents would get a check from him.

Many people were fascinated by his performance and thought he was a legend of the field. One day, Kevin's father went to visit a relative in another city. The relative paid a lot for tickets of the magician's show and invited him to watch.
Kevin's father went to the show. During the show, he was totally impressed by the magician's tricks. When the magician took off his mask, the father found Albert was his son, Kevin. Everything clicked. Kevin changed his name for fear that his career might bring shame on his family. Staring at the young adult on the stage and picturing how hard a life he must have experienced, Kevin's father felt a wave of mixed feelings coming over him. He couldn't wait to hug his son and told him how proud he was to have Kevin as their family member.

"Women do not own lands in my community except if they are able to buy one, as most of the lands in a family are passed on to the male children. So a woman who intends to own a land must be prepared to work hard."
Monica Maigari was born and raised in her native community of Madakiya, located in the southern part of Kaduna state of northwestern Nigeria. In 2014, her achievements as a farmer, community leader, and women's advocate won her recognition as an Oxfam Female Food Hero. Since that time, she has deepened her involvement in the local community while sharing her skills with influential audiences.
Monica has been a farmer for more than 30 years. Despite great challenges faced by rural women farmers, such as land accessibility, labour costs, market access, and climate change, she has achieved great success. She started with a small field for crop cultivation in 1984 then expanded into various crops and livestock farming. Like all farmers in her region, Monica's agricultural productivity is threatened by climate change. She is leading her community in adapting to the effects while challenging policymakers to act.
In November 2014, out of the 1,280 contestants nationwide, Monica won the Female Food Hero title for her innovative and leadership qualities. Against local practices, she chose to purchase farmland with her prize money in order to reduce the cost of renting a land and help plough back (把……再投资) that money into her agribusiness.
She describes the FFH as being a truly life changing experience, "I acquired several skills. I was taught the value chain. My productivity and income has steadily increased. I am more financially stable." Since her recognition from Oxfam, Monica has been in demand as a speaker throughout Nigeria and abroad, and she is now able to educate other female farmers. Realizing this yet always humble, Monica simply describes herself as "a hard-working woman devoted to encouraging women especially those less privileged to go into agriculture".

Recently, four professors of neuroscience were awarded the Brain Prize for their lifechanging contributions to the research on migraines (偏头痛), a disease previously not understood well.
Professor Michael Moskowitz from Harvard Medical School, Peter Goadsby from King's College London, Lars Edvinsson from Lund University in Sweden, and Jes Olesen from Rigshospitalet, Denmark, were celebrated as the recipients of the Brain Prize, the world's most distinguished award highlighting achievements in brain research. The Crow n Prince of Denmark presented the four professors with a grand prize of roughly 1.5 million dollars on October 25 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Migraines remain one of the most serious and common neurological illnesses millions around the world suffer. Studies show that women are three times more likely to experience frequent and intense migraines than men, and symptoms can last up to 24 hours. Typically, these intense head-throbbing pains are also accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), dizziness and sensitivity to sound, light, and touch.
After over forty years of research, the four professors pinpointed the major cause—chemicals released within the brain. Previously, the main causes of migraines were thought to be stress, pressure or anxiety. In 1979, Professor Michael Moskowitz discovered that headaches occur when thin nerves are found in our head and face to interact with a highly-sensitive membrane (膜) surrounding our brain, releasing chemicals called neuropeptides. These chemicals can then cause the blood vessels in our head to expand and also send pain signals to the brain. Later, research by Professor Goadsby and Edvinsson revealed that the specific neuropeptide which plays the central role in causing the intense headache is calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Then, Professor Olesen's work further confirmed that CGRP is indeed responsible for the pain, rather than a chemical produced in the brain as a result of the migraines.
The work by these scientists paves the way for developing more effective medicine. While past treatments can only temporarily stop the pain, scientists say that the newly developed drugs not only prevent migraines but also don't cause the harmful side effects patients had to endure.
8．Who received the grand prize in the country where he works
A．Jes Olesen. B．Peter Goadsby.
C．Lars Edvinsson. D．Michael Moskowitz.
9．What do we know about migraines
A．Migraines are a rare and strange illness.
B．All the symptoms of intense migraines last 24 hours.
C．Females' chance of getting migraines is higher than males'.
D．Vomiting, dizziness and sensitivity lead to migraines.
10．What is the major cause of migraines
A．Stress, pressure or anxiety.
B．A highly-sensitive membrane.
C．Chemical called neuropeptides.
D．Interactions between thin nerves.
11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Medicine. B．Biology. C．Literature. D．Psychology.

The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas has issued a recent report in order to recommend ways to increase food donations, reduce food waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 food waste reduction goals.
Food donation can reroute eatable food—that would otherwise give off greenhouse gasses in a landfill—to those experiencing hunger. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, 3.5 million Kenyans, roughly 37 percent of the population, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Policy Atlas reports roughly 40 percent of food produced within Kenya goes to waste. But Broad Leib, Deputy Director of Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), sees some promising changes. "While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya's food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction," reports Broad Leib.
According to the Policy Atlas, motivating food donation with rewards is particularly important, which helps food donors and food recovery organizations make up for costs necessary for recovery, storing, processing, and transporting food for donation.
"A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. This increases the likelihood that much safe food will go to waste," Broad Leib tells Food Tank. However, he acknowledges Kenya's current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still edible before expiration (到期). Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces confusion by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.
Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya. It is vital for consumer education campaigns. FLPC's research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.
12．What changes does Broad Leib see
A．Kenya is not committed to reducing food loss.
B．Progress in reducing food waste is happening quickly.
C．People in Kenya no longer suffer hunger.
D．Kenya has gradually reduced its food waste.
13．What does the underlined word "edible" mean in Paragraph 4

14．How can Kenya reduce food waste according to Broad Leib
A．By reducing food produced within the country.
B．By using double date labeling on packaged food.
C．By increasing storehouses.
D．By fighting hunger with rewards.
15．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Only the private sector is helpful in reducing food waste.
B．Bro ad Leib doesn't agree with FLPC on food waste reduction.
C．Private and public joint efforts matter around food issues.
D．Consumer education campaigns are the most important.

The world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left 16． .
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. 17． So it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it. In other words, left-handers are born that way. In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it's kind of random.
18． The unfavourable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied. In some areas, the left hand became known as the "unclean" hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favoured hand. For example, Jesus sits at God's right side. God's left hand, however, is the hand of judgment. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude. A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. 19． .
Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before. People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well. 20． Instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.
A. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now.
B. Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability.
C. Scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families.
D. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.
E. Why do they use their left hand instead of their right hand for routine activities
F. Why do some parents force their left-handed children to be right-handed when writing
G. Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing.

But Kevin insisted. "Our family is so poor now. Which is more important to you, dignity or food I will give you some money every month from the circus. It probably will be a huge fortune." His father was very stubborn (固执的). "If you go there, somebody will know about it very soon and I'll be very embarrassed, and it must be really tough to be skilled at performing such tricks."
