Hands play an important part in our daily life.  But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well.  Most of us are right-handed.  Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed.  New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands.  Scientists don't know why this happens.
Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world.  Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand.  There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones.  Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands.  But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people.  We live in a right-handed world.
How many people among 100 people use their left hands better?
A. 5%.     B. 50%.     C. 95%.
. New-born babies can use __________.
A. both of their hands  B. neither of their hands  C. their right hands
Which of the following is true?
A. There are more monkeys using their right hands than left hands.

The flight was tiring, but here I am at last, in Sydney! look! Here we are at last! The Sydney Opera House! It looks like shells! It’s wonderful and amazing! And I’m taking the plane to New Zealand on Tuesday. I’ll post again from there.

Paris is beautiful! We went on a great city tour. We also took a boat ride on the River Seine. And it’s nicer to just sit at a street cafe and watch the world go by. But to tell you a secret. Frank’s disappointed because no one can understand his French!

We’re staying at a farm in Utah. There is nearly nothing! It’s too quiet. Every morning, we get up really early, and we ride the horses. Then it’s breakfast and more riding—not my idea of fun! So, today I walked to a little town near the farm where they actually have Internet! Next week, we’re shopping in New York. I can’t wait!

In April this year, lots of bags full of small change(零钱) were seen at bus stops in Tianjin. They were made for passengers to turn their notes into small change. And such an idea came from four students from Zhongbei Middle School, Tianjin.
“People will surely feel worried when they take a bus without coins. We just want to do something to help them,” said Wang Yongcun, 15, one of the four students.
The four boys spent their whole weekend making the change bags. After that they went to see the number of the passengers at each bus stop near their school, and then chose the top six stops to put the bags.
Many people think that the four boys have really done a good job. But, things didn’t go as the boys thought. Two days later, they found that the money was gone, and that even the bags were taken. It really made them sad but they would not give up. Their classmates and teachers came to help them in time. They put their pocket money in bags again. And the teachers also taught them to make better change bags. They tried their best to do it.
The four boys feel very happy because they have done something good for the passengers. Their warm hearts are moving. More and more people are beginning to join in the activity.

“Am I my brother’s keeper?” The question comes from the Bible(圣经). In the Bible, Cain kills his brother Abel. When God asks Cain where Abel is, he replies, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” by which he means, “Am I responsible (有责任心的) for my brother—his safety and health?” The answer, of course, is “Yes, you are.”
This sense of responsibility for others is basic to all good societies. And also it is basic to what we call “civil(文明的) society”. China is now working on building a civil society and the high schools in Shanghai want students to take part in that through volunteering. They are supposed to do sixty class hours of volunteer work before graduation. This is something new in China, but it is not new in other countries.
In the Canadian province of Ontario, high school students are required to do forty hours of volunteering. In some American states, the volunteering requirement is one hundred hours. These students spend about an hour a week during the school year and summer vacations, helping the poor, the sick and the old. They also teach young children to read and help to clean up the environment. And studies have shown that this volunteering experience influences students a lot after graduation.
Some of you may be thinking, “Gee, sixty class hours is a lot. How can I find the time?” In fact, if you finish it in three years, you only need to do the work about three class hours a month. And the time is well spent if it helps you realize that “being your brother’s keeper” makes you a better person and makes society a better place for everyone.
A Shanghai high school student should finish class hours of volunteer work before graduation.

A.thirty B.forty C.sixty D.one hundred

The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to “ ”.

A.building a civil society B.reading the Bible

According to the writer, “being your brother’s keeper” means “ ”.

A.being a good school student
B.being responsible for others
C.taking good care of your brother
D.doing volunteer work with your brother

The main purpose of the writing is to .

A.tell students where to do volunteer work
B.give advice on how to be a good volunteer
C.encourage students to do more volunteer work
D.introduce volunteer work in different countries
