The two hemispheres work together, but each one specializes in certain ways of thinking.Each side has its own way of using information to help us think, understand, and process information.The left side of the brain controls language. It is more verbal and logical. It names things and puts them into groups. It uses rules and likes ideas to be clear, logical, and orderly. It is best at speech, reading, writing, and math. You use this side of the brain when you memorize spelling and grammar rules or when you do a math problem.The right side of the brain is more visual and creative. It specializes in using information it receives from the senses of sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. This side of the brain likes to dream and experiment. It controls your appreciation of music, color, and art. You use this side when you draw a picture or listen to music.Although we all use both sides of our brains, one side is usually stronger or dominant. Some people are more “leftbrained,” and others are more “rightbrained”. Our dominant side influences the kinds of jobs and hobbies we have. Politicians, artists, architects, and musicians depend on their right brains. Accountants, engineers, doctors, and lawyers usually rely on their left brains.（1）What can we know from the passage? A . When we speak, we use right side of the brain.B . Right side of the brain is stronger than left side.C . We use right side of the brain to do a math problem.D .

The French are the best. Its the Germans who dont have a good habit of standing in line. They cant stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the line doesnt seem to be moving fast enough. Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line to get tickets, to order fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming (排成) queues feel that they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues. They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others time.The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said, I m terribly sorry. I didnt realize there was a queue. Do go before me. People smiled and said. Oh, thats all right, one more wont matter much. It was also found in France, where 80 of the people didnt mind standing in line only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, If only they could learn from the British and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find that the queue then moves faster.（1）The research shows that the people in _ are the most polite in standing in line.A . SwedenB . BritainC . FranceD .
