Imagine you are Alice, stepping through the looking glass. Suddenly everything is re versed. Doorknobs are on the wrong side of doors. The gearshift in your car is in the wrong place. Twenty-five million Americans wake up every day in just such an awkward situation. They are the one in ten of us who are left-handed and must face the world designed for the right-handed majority. Why we are left-or-right-handed remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of science. We know that nearly two out of three lefties are male and that left-handedness runs in families. According to one study, almost half the offspring of two left-handed parents will be lefthanded. The Scots-Irish family Kerr (from the Gaelic word for "left")produced so many left-handers that in 1470 the family built its castle’s spiral stairways with a reverse twist to favor left-handed swordsmen. On the other hand, heredity alone cannot explain leffies. At least 84 percent of them are born of two right-handed parents. And in 12 percent of genetically identical twins, one will be right-handed, the other left. Perhaps the greatest puzzle of all is not why some people are left-handed, but rather why so few are. So, scientists are trying to discover the truth of the matter, and they are beginning to gain insight into many ways left-handed differ from right-handed by considering how their brains work.The reason why so few are left-handed （） A. has nothing to do with heredityB. remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of scienceC. has little to do with the working of their brainsD. is that left-handers are mainly twins

What makes a person a scientist?Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others?The answer is "no".It is not the tools a scientist usesbut how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter.You will probably agree,toothat knowing how to investigate,how to discover information,is important to everyone.The scientist,however,goes one step further,he must be sure that he has areasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons.He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideasabout how the world works.The scientistˊs knowledge must be exact.There is no room for half right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit.What worksunder one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times.If the con?ditions are different,any changes the scientist observes in ademonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions.This is one reason that investigations are important in sci?ence.Albert Einstein,who developed the theoryof relativity,arrived at this theory through mathematics.The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations,Einsteinˊs ideas were shown to becorrect.A scientist uses many tools for measurements.Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.1.What makes a scientist according to the passage?A) The tools he uses.B) The way he uses his tools.C) His ways of learning.D) The various tools he uses.2."The scientist,however,goes one step further…" The author says this to show ______.A) the importance of informationB) the importance of thinkingC) the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD) the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs3.A sound scientific theory should be one that ______.A) works not only under one set of conditions at one time,but also under the same conditions at other timesB) does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC) can be used for many purposesD) leaves no room for improvement4.The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate ______.A) that measurements are keys to success in scienceB) that accuracy of mathematicsC) that the investigations are important in scienceD) that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations5.What is the main idea of the passage?A) The theory of relativity.B) Exactness is the core of science.C) Scientists are different from ordinary people.D) Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.

Wedding ceremonies in the United States vary as much as the people do.But many weddings,no matter where or how they are performed,include certain traditional customs.For instance,the bride and groom often exchanged rings at the ceremony.The rings are usually worn on the fourth finger of the left hand,and are exchanged in the middle ofthe ceremony.Today,the ring shows the couple’s love for one another.After the ceremony,the couple is often showered with handfuls of uncooked rice by friends and family.Rice,as we know,shows productivity and harvest.And then,thereis often a party,where the food is so plentiful that it almost takes the attention away from the people.Soon the bride stands in the center of the room,often on a chairand throws her flowers to the unmarried women at the party.Tradition says that whoever catches the flowers will be the next bride.Some women eagerly try to catch theflower; others shy away.And then it is time for the bride and groom to set off the tradition of a honeymoon,a trip after the wedding.The trip nowadays varies greatly by wealth,time andpreference.Sometimes the couple will spend a single night at a nearby hotel; or they may spend two weeks at a faraway foreign city as well.1.According to the passage,_____.A) American wedding ceremonies usually have big dinnersB) American wedding ceremonies provide a lot of flowersC) American wedding ceremonies are preferableD) American wedding ceremonies are magnificent2.According to the passage,what does the sentence “no matter where or how they are performed” (para.1) really mean?A) The wedding ceremonies may be held everywhere.B) The wedding ceremonies may be held at any time.C) The wedding ceremonies may be held in different ways and places.D) The wedding ceremonies may be held in any way.3.The word “showered” (para.2) probably means_____.A) dressedB) scatteredC) providedD) touched4.From the passage,we can safely conclude that_____.A) American couples hold traditional wedding ceremoniesB) American couples hold fashionable wedding ceremoniesC) American couples go on expensive honeymoon tripsD) American couples exchange rings after the honeymoon5.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A) Weddings in North America.B) Weddings in America.C) Wedding Ceremonies.D) Wedding Traditions. .
