farmed side by side sharing machinery and goods as needed without a single problem However one autumn things changed It began with a tiny disagreement about a horse which grew into a major difference The difference led to angry words followed by weeks of silence between the two brothers One morning there was a knock on Paul s door He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox I m looking for a few days work the builder said Are there any jobs here I could help with Yes answered Paul extremely pleased to see the builder I do have a job for you Look at that farm across the creek 小溪 That s

day and left the builder to his work When he returned the builder had just finished his job Paul was shocked Instead of a fence there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other As Paul stood on the bridge staring in amazement his younger brother Jason came across and took Paul s hand You are a good man to have built this bridge after a11 I ve done said Jason Then Paul with

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 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 left 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 longer 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 What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different
