What do Napoleon, Clinton and Wang Nan have in common? They are all left-handed. Today about 15% of the people are left-handed. But why are people left-handed? The answer is the way the brain (大腦) works. The brain has two halves---the right half and the left half. The right half controls (控制) the left side of the body, and the left half controls the right side of the body. So right-handed people have a strong left brain, and the left–handed people have a strong right brain.

The two halves of the brain are about the same size. But each side controls different things. The left side controls language, Maths and logic (邏輯). When you remember new words, or when you put things in order, you use your left side.

The right side of the brain controls colour and music. It is also good at recognizing (認(rèn)出) faces. This does not mean that all artists are left-handed and all accountants (會(huì)計(jì)師) are right-handed. Some right-handers have a strong right brain, and some left-handers have a strong left brain.

1. From the passage we know _________.

A. all artists are left-handed

B. all accountants are right-handed

C. the left side of the brain controls your love of art, colour and music

D. some right-handers have a strong left brain

2.Whether(是否) people are right-handed or left-handed is mostly decided by ________ .

A. their parents

B. their minds

C. the way the brain works

D. the way the head works

3.Each side of the brain __________ .

A. likes music and Maths

B. controls different things

C. controls the same thing

D. has two halves

4.When you are singing, you are using your __________.

A. logic thinking B. heart

C. right brain D. left halves

5.Which part of the body does the right half of the brain control?

A. The right side of the body.

B. The left side of the body.

C. The heart.

D. The language.

Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.

★ When to arrive

The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you to his/her house, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can arrive a few minutes after 3:00, but it is also a good idea to arrive at the right time.

★ What to bring

Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share(分享), or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.

★ How to greet (問(wèn)候)

When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr or Mrs Smith. This will show them more respect(尊重).

It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again!
