The time printed on the invitation was 7.30 pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, an

19、d song.By 9.45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11.00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely

20、off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6.30 -8.30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8.00

21、pm or 8.30pm means possible dinner, but 9.30pm and any time thereafter means no food, oat beforehand, roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students party at 6.30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive -

22、looking eager - is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6.30, she likes to be them, if not on lime, then no later than seven. My age group （late thirties） falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think were young, were probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.T

23、he accepted custom at present is confusing （混乱的）, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element （成分） of surprise.41. The underlined words off their heads probably mean_.A. tired B. crazy C. curious D. hopeless42. Jane and David s st

24、ory is used to show that_ .A. petty-goer8 usually get hungry at partiesB. party invitations can be confusing C. people should ask for food at parties D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull43. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_.A. are likely to arrive late for a part

25、y B. care little about the party time C. haven t really grown up yet D. like surprises at parties. 44. What is the general idea of the text? A. It s safe to arrive late just when food is served. B. It s wise to eat something before going to a party. C. It s important to follow social rules of party-

26、going. D. It s necessary to read invitations carefully.BMost people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so th

27、e scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people

28、, the 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 persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, whic

29、h 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-hande

30、d 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 doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people us

31、ually 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 longe

32、r 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 dont have to.45. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _.A. the art began from 1,500 B.C.B. t

33、he works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed46. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth.B. More than a half.C. About 40%.D. The passage doesnt tell us.47. What is th

34、e hand for most people used to do?A. Its used to find or hold things.B. Its used to work with things.C. Its used to make a persons eyes work together.D. Its the centre for thinking and doing problems.48. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a

35、 person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.49. The best title for this passage is _.A. Scientists New InventionsB. Left-hande
