some experts think left-handed people have a greater aptitude for language skills, which may help them craft the rhetoric necessary for political office. and as for the bout of recent left-handed presidents, some think its because teachers only recently stopped working to convert lefties to rightist at an early age.bill gatesclaiming the nations richest man among their number is a source of considerable pride for americas society of southpaws. in fact, the microsoft titan and philanthropist(巨头兼慈善家) is one of a surprising number of u.s. business moguls to be left-handed, including henry ford, john d. rockefeller and former ibm head lou gerstner. but the club seems to be a guys-only fraternity research suggests that while left-handed men tend to earn more than their right-handed colleagues, there is no similar advantage for women. a study by the national bureau of economic research floated the idea that left-handed men favor divergent thinking, a form of creativity in which the brain moves from conventional knowledge into unexplored association. maybe thats what it takes to develop a net worth estimated at $ 57 billion.oprah winfreythe talk-show queen doesnt need much more to set her apart from the rest what with her estimated $ 2.7 billion fortune and a magic ability to sell books just by glancing at them but she also has the distinction of being a member of the left-handed club. since men are more likely to be left-handed than women, that makes oprah doubly impressive. shes in good company: other show-business ladies of the left handed persuasion include whoopi goldberg, julia roberts and angelina joliemarie curienot only was atomic scientist marie curie left-handed, but she was the matriarch of a whole family of accomplished, southpaw scientists. curie, who discovered the principles of radioactivity and won two nobel prizes, was married to fellow lefty pierre curie, who was instrumental in helping maries atomic research and shared one of her nobel awards. historians believe their daughter, irene, was also left-handed. irene went on to win a nobel prize of her own with her husband who, you guessed it, was also left-handed.1the underlined word “southpaws” in the last sentence of paragraph 1 means_. apeople coming from the southbpowerful presidentscpeople who use their left handdforceful speakers2what makes it so easy for lefties to be elected as presidents according to the passage?atheir great gift for foreign language.btheir great language skills to make speeches.cthe need of left hinders in the political office.dteachers stopping to force them to use their right hand.3it can be implied that bill gates, henry ford, john d. rockefeller and lou gerstne_.ahave creative thinking bhave formed a special club.cearn more money than their wives dare wealthy philanthropists4the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 “she is in good company” means “_”.ashe works in a very good company bshe has many good friendscshe has got on well with others dshe is among many female leftiesbhey there, so youre about to spend four years of your life and tens of dollars of your parents money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. do you ever stop to wonder why youre going? relax. youre making the right decision. first of all, youll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. for example, its hard to decide if you want to be a painter if youve never painted any pictures; once youre in a drawing-room on campus, youll know one way or the other. college is also a lot of fun after you graduate, youll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. and remember that college graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college. finding the right college can be difficult. fortunately, johnson review is here to help you every step of the way. * researching schools. to us. the most important decision youll make is to choose the school that really fits you best not the once that is the most competitive（有竞争力的）or has the best-equipped rooms. * applying to school. on johnsonr. youll find hundreds of actual college application（申请）and links to many more. * raising your scores. american college test is one of the most difficult parts of the admission（录取）course. its not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the best. but, if you can do better, find the right course for better scores. *paying for school. most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. the problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. if you really do your research, youll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost. for more information, call 600-3681 or visit johnsonr. wherever you go. have a nice trip ! johnson smith founder and ceo johnson review 1. how many reasons for going to college does the author mention in the text?
