One out of every ten people walking down the street is left-handed.Everywhere they go.left-
handed people come across tools designed for right-handed people.From scissors to baseball gloves,lefties need to develop(发展)skills to live in a world designed for right-handed people.
If you are a right-handed person,try this:pick up scissors with your left hand and try cutting apiece of paper.Don't be surprised if the experience feels awkward.
Thankfully,there are companies today that make left-handed scissors and other left-handed tools.But still,left-handed people often find themselves in a situation where they have no choice(选择)but to use something designed for right-handed people.
In the past ages,society was not sympathetic(同情)to left-handed people.Left-handed students are usually asked to learn to write with their right hand.
However,these days parents and teachers are far more accepting and understanding.In almost every school in the world,left-handed students are allowed(允许)to continue using their left hand to write.For a long time,medical researchers have tried to find out why people are left-handed or right-handed.The researchers have found that left-handed people are left-handed for the same reason as brown-eyed people have brown eyes.It's just one of those things that show up in one out of every ten people.
An interesting question is whether there is any connection()between left-handed people and creative genius(天才).Most creative minds have been left-handed.In art,both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti were left-handed.In music,Ludwig van Beethoven was left-handed.In science and invention,you find Benjamin Franklin,Isaac Newton,and Albert Einstein.And in the film industry,there was Charlie Chaplin.Musical geniuses,such as Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney,and Wynton Marsalis,are left-handed too.
Each of these people had or has a great mind.So even though(尽管)it may be difficult for a left-handed person to live in a right-handed world，lefties should know that they are in good company(倍伴).
4.What can we learn from Paragraph One?
A.9%of the people in the world are left-handed
B.It's not easy for left-handed people to live in our world.
C.Left-handed people are as smart as right-handed people.
D.It's not safe for lefties to use tools designed for right-handed people.
5.What's the meaning of the underlined word"awkward"in Paragraph Two?
A.Untidy. B.Unhappy. C.Unfriendly. D.Uncomfortable
6.How does the writer prove(证明)that most creative minds have been left-handed?
A.By telling stories B.By listing numbers.
C.By giving examples. D.By asking questions
7.What does the writer want to tell left-handed people at the end of the passage?
A.The world won't change,but they can. B.There is nothing for them to worry about.
C.Being left-handed will lead them to success.
D.They must get used to living in the right-handed world.
Ⅱ阅读表达（阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过4个字。）
Anna Brown was an artist who believed that it was important to help others.When she heard of a summer camp for children with serious illnesses,she came up with an idea.It cost money for these kids to go to camp,so Anna decided to see what she could do to help.It was impossible for her to donate(捐赠)a lot of money,so she had to think of another way.
She wanted to make full use of her love of art.So she started making and selling beautiful cards to raise money for these kids.Because these cards were all handmade，it would take her a long time to make a lot of them.So Anna had another idea.She started inviting friends to her house to help her make the cards..At first her friends were hesitant(犹豫不决).Many said that they were not artistic and didn’t know how to make cards.But once they saw the beautiful materials that she had in her workroom，her friends felt more comfortable doing things such as drawing and cutting in order to make a new card.
But the materials were expensive.To make money without spending money,Anna asked for and got donations of paper,glue,scissors,and other things from nearby stores.She sold her cards for three dollars each in different rt markets during the year.Ana raised more than 30,000 in her10 years making cards.
