Most of us use right hands to eat and write. But some people are born with left-
handedness. They sometimes are considered weird and not normal. However, new research on
left-handedness suggests that instead of being a defect, it actually can signal special abilities. In
the past, some scientists believed that left-handedness and reading disorders were related. But
scientists now feel that certain types of brain organization possessed by left-handers may enable
special artistic talents. For example, in right-handed people, the speech center is located in the left
half of the brain. But if an individual has speech centers on either right side of the brain or both
sides of the brain, as some left-handed people do, he or she might be a brilliant writer, musician, or
painter. Also because left-handers may have more than one speech center, they are likely to
recover better from strokes and other brain injuries.

(C ) 39.What have scientists recently discovered about left-handedness?

(A) It may produce special mechanical abilities.
(B) It may signal special defects.
(C) It may mean special artistic abilities.
(D) It may be the result of a brain injury.
(B ) 40.How many speech centers do right-handers have?
(A) None. (B) One. (C) Two. (D) Three.
(A ) 41.According to this passage, a left-handed person would be most likely to excel ( 擅

.
(A) writer (B) athlete (C) scientist (D) businessman
(D ) 42.Why would left-handed people possibly benefit from more than one speech center?
(A) They can speak many languages.
(B) They can make speeches in the centers.
(C) They can get many differents jobs.

of Fundy in Canada, the difference between the high and low tide levels can be as much as 40 feet.
France and Britain are now trying to use the energy of the tides to produce electricity.
Waves can also produce electricity and some small-scale experiments are taking place to learn more
about this. One of the most encouraging areas of research uses the difference between the
temperature of seawater at the surface and deep down to produce electricity.
