38、re freedom.Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them.

39、 you liked your food.In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say “excuse me, please.”In many places people like to eat together.

40、t are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him.

44、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 the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% o

45、f 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.

48、in 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.

49、he 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 r

50、ight hands like other children, but today they dont have to. 68. What is the hand for most people used to do?A. Its used to find or hold things.B. Its used to work with things.C.

54、not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it.
