On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged ,rich white South American lady found herself sitting next to a black man. She called the cabin stewardess(机舱乘务员)over to complain about her seating.
“What seems to be the problem, Madam?” asked the stewardess.
“Can’t you see?” she said. “You’ve sat me next to a black man. I can’t possibly sit next to this kind of human. Find me another seat!”
“Please calm down, Madam,” the stewardess replied. “The flight is very full today, but I’ll tell you what I’ll do---IWill go and check to see if we have any free seats in Club(商务舱)or First Class.”
The lady had an unfriendly look at the outraged(被激怒的)black man beside her.
A few minutes later the stewardess returned and said to the lady with a self –satisfied smile, “I’m sorry, Madam, this Economy(经济舱)is full, and Club is also full. However, we do have one seat in First Class.”
The lady could not help looking at the people around her. But before she had a chance to get up or make any answer, the stewardess continued , “ We seldom make this kind of upgrade(升级),however, and I had to report it to the captain(机长).When the captain heard this,he said that it was not proper to make someone sit next to such an obnoxious(令人讨厌的)person.” Having said that, the stewardess turned to the black man sitting next to the lady, and said, “So if you’d like to get your things, sir, I have a seat ready for you…”
At this time, the people around stood up and clapped their hands. The black man walked up to the front of the plane.
That was an unforgettable flight for me, for I was the black man who had never flown First Class before.

A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (笔试).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”

Do you        to write with your left hand? If you do, you are one of the millions of “lefties” in the world. Why do some people use left hand more often than others? To understand left-handedness, it is necessary to look at the         . The brain is divided into two hemispheres(半球). The left hemisphere is the center of language and logical thinking. This is where they do their math problems and memorize words. However, the         hemisphere controls how they understand ideas and         they respond(作出反应) to the five senses—sight, hearing,        , taste, and touch. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body,          the right hemisphere controls the left side.

In left-handed people, the right hemisphere is         .
Lefties prefer not only the left hand but also the left         . They would rather use the left foot to kick a ball because their whole body is “left-handed”.
From Newtown      Albert Einstein, Wen Jiabao to Obama, Choplin to Zhao Benshan, many    people are left-handed. Are you left-handed even though you are forced to write with your right hand? Don’t worry if you are, you are in good company.
