MUNICH—Albert Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci were in the club; Bill Clinton and Bill Gates are also among its most famous members.

Left-handed people, however, are considered less intelligent or unskillful with their hands.

Schools in many countries may allow children to write with their left hand, but in the meantime “the idea that children should be re-educated to write with the right hand has not yet been removed from the heads of many parents and grand-parents,” says Elizabeth Werthmueller of the Left-handers Initiative in Fulda in central Germany.

International Left-handed Day was held on August 13,1976, and it was a public holiday in the US.

Nowadays interest is steadily growing and there are several advice centers to provide advice and actively campaign against the opinion that left-handers are unskillful.

Psychologist and psychotherapist (精神病医生) Johanna Barbara Sattler, who founded the first advice center for left-handers in Munich in 1985, can only shake her head over some of the conclusions shes heard. “Left-handed people die nine years earlier than right-handers” is just a rumor.

Sattler says that the process of changing writing hands means a sudden attack on the brain. Memory and speech weaknesses are the results, she says, because left or right-handedness, which scientists say is in any case inherited (遗传), is controlled by the hemispheres (大脑半球) of the brain. These are connected to the opposite body-half by crossed nerves.

In left-handers, the right hemisphere is functionally leading. It is primarily responsible for determining space preferences and thought. This explains why left-handed people are often described as particularly creative.

But in the workplace, they often have problems in using technical machines. However, it is always better to choose another job than to retrain to use the right hand, says expert Sattler.

In contrast to 30 years ago, left-handers are no longer forced to switch to their right hand in German schools, yet many teachers still have no idea how they can help left-handers with practical advice. Instead, these children often have to hear that they have to get along with “the problem” themselves.

51. The Paragraph 1 tells us that ＿＿＿＿ .

A. scientists in the world are all left-handers B. artists in the world are all left-handers

C. famous people are members in this special club D. some famous people may be left-handers

52. From the Paragraph 3 we learn that ＿＿＿＿ .

A. many parents insist that students write with both hands

B. students in many schools must write with their left hand

C. many parents insist that students write with their right hand

D. students in many schools sometimes write with their left hand

53. According to Sattlers opinion, changing writing hands is ＿＿＿＿ .

A. reasonable B. interesting C. scientific D. unnecessary

54. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Left-handers are unskillful in the workshop. B. Left-handers are often simple-minded.

C. Left-handers are always trying to defeat right-handers. D. Left-handers are often full of imagination in their work.

55. From the last two paragraphs we find that ＿＿＿＿ .

A. peoples opinion about left-handers has changed B. German students seldom get help from their teachers

C. left-handers at German schools feel disappointed D. left-handers at German schools find no trouble using anything

A few years ago in Tokyos Yoyogi Park, three people stood around holding signs that said “Free Hugs”. This was quite a sight and stopped more than a few tourists in their tracks. People discovered it was part of the Free Hugs campaign.

The Free Hugs campaign tries to make peoples lives brighter by giving away free hugs. It was started by Juan Manne on June 30, 2004. Man had been sad and lonely, when one day, a stranger, someone he didnt know, hugged him. This free hug made him feel great. He decided to give free hugs to make other people feel great, too. He started offering free hugs on a street in Sydney, Australia. In the following months, many people joined him in offering free hugs, and more and more people accepted the free hugs.

Not long after Mann began his campaign, he became friends with Shimon Moore, the lead singer of the music group Sick Puppies. In late 2004, Moore recorded a video film of Mann and other huggers. The film was forgotten, but the Free Hugs campaign continued through 2005 and 2006.

Then, in mid-2006, Manns grandmother died. As a gift to Mann, Moore made a music video called All The Same using the film from 2004. The video was put on YouTube and became very popular. Since then, the Free Hugs campaign has spread. People are giving away free hugs in countries all over the world. Have you given a free hug to someone lately?
