It's a commo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.
Next time you reach ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for your fridge, think twice. If your cat is watching, she will probably overeat as well.
In a new study ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.
“Cats are clever ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) animals with a long memory,” Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.” Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”．
There's no w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ord if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit (使受益) your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.
There's a lot we c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an learn from our cats in return. “When they sit softly breathing , eyes halfclosed, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private less on in inner meditation(冥想)，”Brunt said. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.
So, according to scien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce, though we think that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh
42. According to the passage, which of the following is Wrong
A. Cats can copy humans' behaviours.
B. Cats are smart and have a long memory.
C. Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.
D. Humans can learn from cats in some way.
43. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Humans' keeping searching the fridge.
B. Humans' drinking green tea and going to yoga
C. Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.
D. Cats' going to their owners for food.
44. What can we learn from our cats
A. To remain peaceful. B. To be able to copy.
C. To stay hungry. D. To look up to friends.
45. The best title for the passage could be “________”．
A. Your cat can bring you pleasure B. You are copying your cat
C. You can make yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur cat social D. Your cat is copying your habit

Health exp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erts have long noted the importance of physical activity. Exercise improves not only your appearance but also your health. Exercise helps to reduce the risk of some diseases, including heart disease,stroke,type-two diabetes,osteoporosis and even some kinds of cancers.
America’s Cent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers for Disease Control and Prevention says heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. About 600,000 Americans die of heart disease every year. High blood pressure and high cholesterol（胆固醇）levels in blood can increase your risk of heart disease. Medical experts say both can be reduced through normal exercise.
Physical activity is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also known to increase the release of endorphins(内啡肽）.These chemicals reduce feelings of pain. They also help people feel happier and more peaceful. There is a debate about exactly what causes the brain to release endorphins. Some experts believe it is the act of exercise itself. Others say it is the feeling one gets from having met an exercise goal. Either way,the two things work together when it comes to improving one’s emotional health.
Exercise impr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oves your energy levels by increasing the flow of blood to the heart and blood vessels. One of the main reasons why people exercise is to control or reduce their weight. Physical activity burns calories--the energy stored in food. The more calories you burn, the easier it is to control or reduce your weight.
So exactly ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) how much exercise do you need to do to gain all of these great health effects Experts say it is easier than you think. In 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its first ever Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The report included suggestions for young people,adults,disabled persons and those with long-term health problems.
( )26. is the main cause of the death in the US.
A.Stroke B.Heart disease C.Cancer D.High blood pressure
( )27. How does nor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mal exercise help to reduce the risk of heart disease
A.By reducing high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.
B.By increasing the flow of the blood to the heart.
C.By increasin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g the release of endorphins D.By burning calories in one’s body
( )28. Wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ich of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A.Exercise can improve both one’s appearance and health.
B.Endorphins are very important chemicals in one’s brain.

The air pollution was so bad in Harbin, in
China, on October 21,2014 that the city had to
close roads and schools, and cancel* hundreds of
flights from its airport.News reports said the
smog (a mixture of smoke and fog) was so thick
that people couldn’t see more than 10 or 20 metres
in front of them.
It is also said that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people could not even see the person standing next to them. The city’s website said: “You can’t see your own fingers in front of you.”
The local people said ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) there was a “burning” smell in the air. Many people covered their noses and mouths with scarves or masks*.
The pollution was cau ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sed on several factors* including: farmers burning off old corn stalks* and crop stubble*; coal*-fired heating systems; and low winds that allowed the smoke to remain over the city.
The smog had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )been building up for several days. It became worse when the city turned on the public heating system, which uses coal to heat millions of homes and offices in the city.
Harbin has a popula ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion of more than 10 million people. It lies in northeastern China, where cold winter weather can last up to six months. The main fuel* there is coal, because it is cheaper than other types of fuel.
Air pollution fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m burning coal can cause health problems like heart disease. During the smog crisis* in Harbin, the number of people taken to the hospital with breathing problems was 30% higher than usual.
The city governme ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt is trying to reduce its use of coal by adding more insulation* and better roofs and windows to buildings to reduce heating needs. It has also used cleaner fuel for cars and factories.
( ) 33.The roads an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d schools in Harbin had to be closed on October 21, 2014 because of ____
A. the heavy rain B. the strong wind

B. people use coal to heat millions of homes and offices
C. The smoke remains over the city because of low winds

When you are packi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng for an adventure,what is the most important thing you will need If you don’t want to get lost,you’ll need a map! Or better a GPS. What about other animals,how do they know where they’re going
While humans depe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd on technology to travel, some animals have something far more advanced. Researchers,mainly from Oregon State University, US, found that Chinook salmon(鲑鱼) have a “built-in GPS” of the Earth’s magnetic field（磁场）. This means as soon as they are born they are able to direct themselves in the ocean. It acts like a big map inside their brain.
Scientists placed s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ome baby salmon into a big swimming pool. To simulate the Earth’s magnetic field, they put magnetic coils（线圈） all around the pool. Then, by changing the direction of the coils, the salmon began to change their own direction. They started to face in the direction of their ocean feeding area. This is a safe place in the ocean where salmon can find food to eat. When the scientists changed the coils to the opposite side, the salmon also turned in the opposite direction. Just by using their “built -in GPS”, the salmon were able to find out the direction of their feeding area.
How did Chinook sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lmon get their “built-in GPS” The scientistes think that their navigation （导航）skills came through evolution（进化）. The fish that were able to reach the feeding area lived longer. Then they could pass on their navigation skills to their babies. So if you are ever lost and in need of some help, maybe you should ask a salmon to point you in the right direction.
( ) 37. The passage mainly talks about ____.
A. the wide use of the GPS
B. the evolution of the Chinook salmon
C. the research of ocean life
D. Chinook salmon and their built-in GPS
( ) 38. According to paragraph 2,Chinook salmon_____.
A. have their own magnetic field
B. learn directions from their mother
C. can find directions in the ocean
D. have the same navigation skills as humans
( ) 39.The under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined word “simulate ” in paragraph 3 probably means ___.
A 模拟 B 学习 C 利用 D 改变
( ) 40. Whic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Chinook salmon has more advanced ways to travel.
B. Chinook salmon c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an find out the direction by using their own “GPS”.
C. Chinook salmon get their “GPS” from their parents.
D. Scientists put a “ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )GPS”into the fish’s body to help find its direction.

Once he made the kids quiet, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, and fix lunches for the next day.

There’s alway ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s something deep in our soul that never dies. I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.
In the US, it is unne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality (质量，品质) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.
In New Jersey, an area ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.
Edison is an old town, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved at all.
31. Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison
A. Because they were born there.
B. Because it was a better educational town.
C. Because the writer began his fifth grade.
D. Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.
32. How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school
A. About 80. B. About 160. C. About 220. D. About 300.

Is there som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eone you hate Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).
Bitterness app ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
If you see bi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
Accept it
Instead of try ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it
You prob ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.
51. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the passage, we might get angry when someone __________.
A. holds us ba ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ck B. forgets us C. doesn’t like us D. does hurt us
52. Bitterness comes from ____.
A. our health problems like heart disease
B. the anger that lives deep inside our mind
C. the person who says something that hurts us
D. our relationships with friends and family members
The underlined word “deny” in the passage means “__________”.
A. 误解B. 否认 C. 疏远D. 减轻
54. The best way to deal with the bitterness is to __________.
A. make the person who hurts us look bad
B. hate the person who hurts us very often
C. accept that you are hurting the other person
D . forgive the person who hurts us and forget it
What can we learn from the passage

When people think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of water buffaloes, they often imagine wild and dangerous animals. But unless they are hurt or angered, water buffaloes are probably the gentlest farm animals in the world. Though they look scary, they are much like household pets. Unlike cattle（黄牛）, they are quiet and have a natural fondness for humans.
Water buffaloes ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e so patient and gentle that there is no need to control them during milking. Because of the animal’s calm nature, water buffaloes almost never have their horns(角) taken off. However, most cattle which are raised for their milk will have their horns taken off, when they are young. It will prevent them from hurting one another when they grow up.
Another common wr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ong idea is that water buffaloes can be raised only near water. Though they love to roll in muddy water, water buffaloes usually live and have babies in situations where there is not enough water to do this. However, several researchers report that water buffaloes who roll in muddy water do not need to be treated with insecticides(杀虫剂) because the mud (烂泥) coating that forms on their skin protects them from insects and parasites(寄生虫).
Another untrue beli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ef about water buffaloes is that they can live only in tropical (热带的)areas. Actually, buffaloes are able to live in a wide range of climates. Although they are most common in the tropics, water buffaloes were used to pull snowplows(雪犁) in parts of Europe many years ago.
34. Why are water buffaloes’ horns not taken off
A. They don’t use their horns to attack.
B. They can’t have babies without the horns.
C. Taking the horns off is dangerous to humans.
D. Taking their horns off can kill the buffaloes.
35. The writer seems to think that most cattle_______.
A. don’t give milk B. are not gentle
C. make good pets D. like people
36. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the passage, how can rolling in muddy water help water buffaloes
A. It protec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts them from parasites. B. It washes insecticides off them.
C. It helps them hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e more babies. D. It keeps them cool in hot weather.
37. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) following statements best expresses the main idea of this passage
A. People used to keep water buffaloes as household pets.
B. Many people have incorrect ideas about water buffaloes.
C. Water buffaloes used to be common around the world.
D. Water buffaloes and cattle have many similarities.

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
THIS year the US ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Mint will honor one of the country’s most famous writers.
“Mark Twain” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844).
Now he is g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oing to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins.
But does Tw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ain need to be commemorated It doesn’t seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twain’s famous face on it wouldn’t have made people forget about him.
The Adventure ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works.
Motherless Huck ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Huck’s freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father, he isn’t really looking for freedom, but survival.
It’s even mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re of a problem for a slave. Jim, the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps, makes Huck’s life seem even better. It’s easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产).
Huck and Jim’s frie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ndship, as shown by Mark Twain, is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character, Huck, who gets an idea of the African American experience.
Mark Twain is famous ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway, the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.
With the race ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )issue(种族问题) far from dead in the US today, perhaps Twain still has something to teach today’s readers.
38. Why is T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he Adventures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twain’s greatest works
A. It talks about ho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w a black slave runs away from his violent owner.
B. It describes an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )everlasting friendship between people of different races.
C. It describes the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) social problem that a lack of money is the root of all evil.
D. It talks abou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t a white American understanding the African American experience.
39. According to the passage, which statement is Wrong
A. Huck gets away from his father for survival.
B. Jim escapes from his slave owner for freedom.
C. Twain dug deeply into American society of his times.
D. Without the special coins, he’ll probably be forgotten.
40. The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _______.
A. still being there. B. Becoming more serious.
C. Being in danger. D. Gone for a long time.
41. What’s the main purpose of the article
A. To tell the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
B. To tell re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aders about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.
C. To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.
D. To draw reader ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s’ attention to the many race issues in the US today.

Health exp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erts have long noted the importance of physical activity. Exercise improves not only your appearance but also your health. Exercise helps to reduce the risk of some diseases, including heart disease,stroke,type-two diabetes,osteoporosis and even some kinds of cancers.
America’s Centers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for Disease Control and Prevention says heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. About 600,000 Americans die of heart disease every year. High blood pressure and high cholesterol（胆固醇）levels in blood can increase your risk of heart disease. Medical experts say both can be reduced through normal exercise.
Physical activity i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s also known to increase the release of endorphins(内啡肽）.These chemicals reduce feelings of pain. They also help people feel happier and more peaceful. There is a debate about exactly what causes the brain to release endorphins. Some experts believe it is the act of exercise itself. Others say it is the feeling one gets from having met an exercise goal. Either way,the two things work together when it comes to improving one’s emotional health.
Exercise i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mproves your energy levels by increasing the flow of blood to the heart and blood vessels. One of the main reasons why people exercise is to control or reduce their weight. Physical activity burns calories--the energy stored in food. The more calories you burn, the easier it is to control or reduce your weight.
So exactly how much ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )exercise do you need to do to gain all of these great health effects Experts say it is easier than you think. In 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its first ever Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The report included suggestions for young people,adults,disabled persons and those with long-term health problems.
( )26. is the main cause of the death in the US.

D.To control o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r reduce their weight is the only reason why people exercise.

A.some advice about physical activity

Once I thought lo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses.But I never hear my parents say“ I love you” to each other. Even on some special days sending flowers between them is hardly ever seen.Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between them. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.
One day, my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) mother was sewing a quilt（缝被子）. I silently sat beside her.
“Mum, is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )there love between you and Dad ” I asked in a very low voice.

I couldn’t underst ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.

When I was a te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )enager, I was more responsible than today’s teenagers. After school, I had to do lots of jobs at home. My parents were really angry when I didn’t do my chores. Today’s teenagers are lazier. They come home from school and then play computer games for the rest of the day.
Sarah 45
Young people now ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )adays aren’t better or worse than young people in the past. Teenagers today have the same problems that we did. They’re worried about finding their own identity(身份) and their own place in the world. I once read this quotation: “Children nowadays just love the easy life. They’re bad mannered, have no respect for authority or for older people, and they make their teachers mad.” Do you know who said that It was Socrates（苏格拉底）. He lived about 2,400 years ago.
Patty 52
In the media, they alw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ays say that teenagers have easy life. They say they’re lazy and irresponsible. But I work with young people and lots of them are responsible and hard-working. I also meet teenagers who are opposite. Isn’t it the same with adults Perhaps teenagers have more money now. And they have lots of modern gadgets like MP3 players. But those things don’t always make life easier or make you happier!

Holmes said ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), “Somebody sent a letter with five pips (桔核) in it from India, and arrived seven weeks later to kill John’s uncle. Then they sent five pips from Scotland and arrived three days later to kill John’s father. Now they have sent five pips to John from London!”
“The lett ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers are all from sea ports (海港). The writer was on a ship when he wrote the letters,” I replied.
“Very good, Watson! And John’s enemy is in London already!”
“Well, I hope they won’t kill young John,” I said.
But they did. Th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e next morning, we read in the newspaper that a policeman found him die near Waterloo Station. Holmes was very angry about it.
“He came to me ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for help and those men murdered him! I’m going to find them, if it’s the last thing I do!” he said to me, and he hurried out of the house.
At night, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )when he came back, he was tired, but pleased, he said, “I know the names of John’s enemies! And now I’m going to send them a surprise! This will frighten them!” He took five pips from an orange and put them in an envelope (信封). On it he wrote “S. H. for J. C.”
“I’m sending the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) pips to captain James Calhoun. His ship is called the Star. He and his men are sailing back to Georgia, USA.”
“How did you find him, Holmes ” I asked.
“Ship’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )papers,” he said, “I’ve looked at hundreds of them today. Only one ship, the Star, was in the three ports at the right times, and this morning the Star left London to sail back to Georgia. I found out that the captain and two of his men, all Americans, weren’t on the ship last night, so I’m sure they killed John. When they arrive in America, they’ll get the pips and then the police will catch them!”

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
Most people a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )round 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. 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 world’s population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones Scientists now know that a person’s 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 person’s hands and eyes work together, 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 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 doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another 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-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 don’t have to.
How many people in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the world are left-handed now
A. Less than one sixth. B. More than a half.
C. About 40%. D. The passage doesn’t tell us.
35. Which of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “damaged” in this passage
A. knocked B. changed C. broke D. harmed
36. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.
B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.
37. The best title for this passage is _______.
A. Scientists’ New Inventions B. Left-handed People
C. Which Hand D. Different Brains, Different Hands
