21、iss?” The wife asked the husband when she was 25. The husband replied, “I missed a new job opportunity.” When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus. At 45, the husband said sadly, “I missed the chance to see my aunt before her last breath.” At 55, the husband said

22、he missed a good chance to retire (退休). At 65, the husband complained. “I missed an appointment (预约) with a doctor,” he said. At 75, the wife did not ask the husband any more, the husband was sitting in front of the very sick wife.Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked

23、 the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, “In this life, I did not miss having you!” The husbands eyes were full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always so busy with work and trifles (琐事) that he had never been thoughtful t

24、o his wife.

This

28、 also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 BCto 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

29、% 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, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is bec

30、ause 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, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more a

31、rtists 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

32、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 usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness

33、, 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

34、 their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to.1What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history?AThe art began from 1,500 BC B The works of art ended in the 1950s. CMost people shown in the works of art are right-handed.DMost people sh

35、own in the works of art are left-handed.2How many people in the world are left-handed now?AAbout 10%-15%.BAbout 50%.CAbout 40%.DThe passage doesnt tell us.3What is the left hand for most people used to do?AIts used to work with things.BIts used to find or hold things.CIts used to make a persons eyes

36、 work together.DIts the centre for thinking and doing problems.4According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?ALeft-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.BToday children are not made to use their right hands only.CNo one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.DSci

Tour

38、ists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four peoples experiences with foreign food.David King is a Chinese student in France. “I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there

39、is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didnt like it. I love ice cream, though thats made from milk.”Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vocation. “I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard s

40、ome other people order flake, so I ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flakes is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. “ Im afraid

41、to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. Im a Hindu(印度教信徒)and my religion(信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. Thats why I cant eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs.”Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. “My friend gave me some 100-year-old eggs to

42、eat. I didnt like their appearance at all. The eggs were green inside, but my friends said the color was normal. Chinese people put something on fresh eggs.

53、Say something positive. Try to start or end the conversation with some good news, so that its not all bad.
