In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect (影响) on the poor，but once a person has a rich life，a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything，all millionaires (百万富翁) would have true love， true friendship，good health and a long life. However，this is not always true. Many of them are not happy, and die earlier.

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought？I’m afraid not. Love means to give，not to take. To every person，health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well，can health and a long life be bought with money？The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world，few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word，Where money is worshiped(崇拜)，money can cause brothers to quarrel，lovers to hate，strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have，it is still not enough to make you a happy person, if you have no one to laugh with，no one to cry for.

1. According to the passage，which of the following do you think is right？

A．Money is everything.

B．Money isn’t necessary.

C．Money is important，but not the most important.

D．With no money，with no success.

A．If you haven’t much money，you can’t get more happiness.

B．You may live a long life even if you are poor.

C．Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.

D．If you are rich，you will have less friendship.

3.What does the sentence” Love means to give, not to take.” Mean ?

A．爱意味着给予，而不能带走。

B．爱是可以得到的，不要走开。

C．爱意味着奉献，而不是索取。

D．爱是可以索取的，而不必付出

Most people around 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(人口) 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 more 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.

1.How many people in 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.

2.According to 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.

3.The best title for this passage is _______

A.Scientists’ New Inventions B.Left-handed People

C.Which Hand D.Different Brains, Different Hand
