Researchers have studied left-handedness for at least 150 years. However, what makes a person become left-handed is unknown, although there are many theories (理论) about it.
A recent UK study of unborn babies found that handedness might develop before their birth. About nine out of ten unborn babies preferred to put their right hand into their mouth. Another finding was that mothers who are over 40 at the time of a child’s birth are 128% more likely to have a left-handed baby than a woman in her twenties.
Since about 90% of people are right-handed, left-handed people do go through some difficulties. Because we write from left to right, it is hard for a left-handed person to write without smudging (把……弄模糊) the ink. What’s more, most tools such as scissors and kitchen knives are made for right-handed people. It can be dangerous for left-handed people to use them.
In the past, left-handed children were asked to use their right hand because people thought they were strange. Luckily, now most people alter their views of left-handers. Left-handed children are no longer looked down upon in school. Some shops sell products for left-handers, such as left-handed guitars and even a left-handed computer mouse. Since 1976, there has been an unusual day for left-handers. International Left-Handers Day is celebrated on August 13th every year. It draws people’s attention to the challenges left-handers face in a world full of right-handers. More and more people have realized left-handedness is nothing strange.
( ) 56. A baby boy may develop left-handedness when ________.
A. nine out of ten babies do so
B. his mom is in her twenties at his birth
C. his mom gives birth to him at an older age
D. he puts his right hand into his mouth often
( ) 57. One problem for left-handed people is that ________.
A. they write from right to left
B. people think they are dangerous
C. kitchen knives are too big for them
D. many tools are made only for right-handers
( ) 58. The underlined word “alter” in this passage means ________.
A. check B. change C. explain D. hold
( ) 59. From the passage, we know that left-handed children ________ in the past.
A. lived a comfortable life
B. were not considered normal
C. were very popular at school
D. were allowed to use products for left-handers
( ) 60. What’s the best title for this passage
A. International Left-Handers Day B. Challenges for Left-handers
C. Left-handedness, Nothing Strange D. Reasons for Left-handedness

The Chinese historical film The Battle at Lake Changjin has earned more than 700 million yuan at the box office as of Saturday morning, the second day of China’s National Day holiday.
The Battle at Lake Changjin tells the story of the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea.
The 176-minute-long film is still meaningful after watching. The whole film is very shocking. It is based on the historical reality. Most of the soldiers in the battle were young people. The battle was full of difficulties. Those young volunteers had to climb high snow mountains. The temperature there was as low as minus 30 or 40 degrees. They wore thin clothes and walked dozens of kilometers every day. They didn’t have modern weapons, but they fought with American planes and tanks. They could only eat one potato a day and had a few left for the wounded. However, the American soldiers spent Christmas and ate roast chicken in their comfortable and warm position. Finally, our volunteers defeated the US Army.
We should learn from them the spirit of loving the motherland, not afraid of losing lives and moving forward bravely. We should also cherish the happy life now, because it is exchanged with their lives.

When people say the word “hero”, who will you think of Do you have a hero in your heart Maybe your hero is a famous singer, a movie star or a great man. But as for me, my hero is my mother.
My mother isn’t great in the way of a famous singer or a movie star. She does nothing big, but from her, I learn a lot. When I was a baby, she taught me how to walk and how to speak. When I go to school, she helps me solve many problems. She also tells me to be kind to others. When I do badly in study, she encourages me and tries to cheer me up. My mother is a teacher, and she is always busy with her work. When she corrects students’ homework, she is always very serious.
All in all, my mother is a loving mother, a kind teacher, and a real hero in my heart.
