3 . The world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left?     1    

The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it.

    2     In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it’s kind of random.

Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures.     3     In some areas, the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example, Jesus sits at God’s right side. God’s left hand, however, is the hand of judgment. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey.     4    A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.

    5    People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.

A．In other words, left-handers are born that way.

B．Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability.

C．The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied.

D．Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities?

E．Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing?

F．In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude.

G．Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before.

Dear Tom,

How are you? I wonder if you could sold some Chinese knots for me. I made it myself with red silk thread, cloth and other materials. They look really beautiful in shape of a diamond, about 5 inches long and 4 inches widely. Appeared in ancient China, these knots stands for friendship, love and good luck. People can either give them as gifts to friends and hang them in their houses. They are only 12.99 dollars each, of which is reasorable. If anyone wants to know many about the knots let them write to me. Also, do tell me if you need further informations. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

6 . When I first came to UK from China at 6, I entered the first grade.    1    . I saw children throw their left over food into the large trash cans-from half-eaten pizzas to untouched burgers. I watched them pour their milk into a white bucket. In China, this was a huge no-no in school. We had to finish everything.

One day, my first grade teacher announced that we would be having a party and everyone was told to bring something from their country.    2    . My mom stayed up after her long day of work and made many dumplings. She put them in the fridge and woke up early in the morning to steam them and fry them so they would taste extra fresh when I brought them to school. They smelled great and looked golden brown after they were cooked.

I was so excited to share these with my class and teachers. It was placed in the corner of the table next to all the other delicious food.    3    . One or two kids bravely took a piece and knew what they were because they had it with their parents at a Chinese restaurant. At the end of the party, it was cleanup. My teacher walked up to me and asked, pointing to the dumplings, “Would you like to take these home?” I carefully replied, “No...”    4    . I thought she was going to share it with other teachers, but immediately after I said that, she threw all the dumplings into the trash and continued cleaning. I was confused; what just happened?

    5    . And today I still witness this frequently in my English friends. Please eat all your food or take it to go or hare it or just get enough so you don’t have to throw it away. Thank you.

A．In China, “no” usually means “yes”

B．I got super excited and told my parents

C．It was very impolite to take your gift home

D．This was the biggest culture shock I have experienced

E．When I got home, I shared the experience with my parents

F．Many kids had the cookies and juices and were hesitant to try the dumplings

G．I didn’t understand why kids were getting their lunch food and not finishing it

Dear Anna,

I feel happily to hear that you’re coming to China next week. I hope to see you soon.

Now I am writing to tell you something about Chinese table manner. Usually, sit around the table, all members of a family has meals together at meal time. The elders and distinguished guests are often seated in the special seats, what shows great respect for them. Chopsticks are used instead for knives and forks. It was often the case that the host family use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl. At the end of the meal don't leave any food in my bowl and you'd better to say thanks to the host.

I hope you'll have wonderful time in our country.

Yours,

Li Hua
